Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel was left fuming after Republican incumbent Thad Cochran won the Mississippi primary by recruiting the votes of the state's black population.
President Lyndon Johnson made the rather tasteless comment when he signed the 1964 Civil Right act that this will keep the N****** voting Democractic for the next 200 years. Lyndon Johnson could be rather tasteless/tacky at times.
Blacks (and hopefully the rest of us) have become more sophisticated and can pick and choose our candidates wisely and hopefully we can make a better world.
They didn't vote for a Republican. They voted in a primary to keep the tea party out. Come election time they'll vote Democrat, but will have shot themselves in the foot. The lamestream Republican will get elected, while the teabagger might not have. Best thing either party can do in open states is vote for the most extreme person of the opposite party in primaries, one that is too scary for the majority of voters.
Personally I'd love to see the Teabaggers run the US. Thing is, dollars to donuts, they'd turn in the same piggies as every other pol. Politics, but especially US politics is greased by money. Doesn't matter who gets in, the same money is calling the shots.
"xerxes" said Sour grapes. Mississippi has open primaries. Deal with it.
Not enough to stop them from going into full-blown batshit mode though, which the loyal two-legged abattoirs such as Palin and Limpbaugh have already being doing over the past week. The Mississippi TeaBirchers appear to be even more odious than the standard kind. Between the McDaniel agent trying to break into a nursing home to take some kind of disgusting pictures of Cochran's dementia-stricken wife, TeaBirchers somehow being "accidentally" locked up after hours in a courthouse where the ballots were being kept, and a heavyweight TeaBircher lawyer connected to the nursing home smear committing suicide after the primary was over, it looks like these guys are even scummier and more vicious than the Watergate or Iran-Contra felons. Take a look at McDaniel himself. He looks like nothing more than a snarl on a rabid dog that's somehow come to life. With this sort of behaviour, combined with their yearly placement at the bottom of the state-by-state quality-of-life rankings it's really no surprise that Mississippi has rightfully earned the label of being the worst state in the entire union.
The weird thing is that Thad Cochran is kind of a turd himself but the other turds didn't think he was rotten and cruel enough to properly represent them, which is why they tried to replace him with one of the worst people they could have ever possibly found.
I really don't get the appeal of the US primary selection system. It just seems odd that Internal Party matters are so tightly tied to Government itself.

They're open but, you can't vote in the democratic primary then vote in the Republican. Apparently it's starting to look like that was what was happening.
In any case if as the CBC says blacks don't vote Republican why were they all of a sudden so interested in voting in a Republican primary?
You guys are all so busy slipping on your stomping boots to kick the guy you think is down you haven't even stopped to ask yourselves basic questions like that, have you?
Why were the Mississipi blacks all of a sudden so interested to vote in a Republican primary most of them would be expected to care less about?
Yeah I know, you think all those claims are true right? You're wrong. They're lies pulled straight out the fat ass of Haley Barbour. You guys didn't really think senile old Thad Cochran put this scheme together did you?
In any case why is a Republican making them? Do you have to be a conservative to see how strange and wrong that is?
"xerxes" said It's lock of a district for the GOP. A democrat has no chance so might as well vote the republican who will screw you over less.
Oh, I see. So those Liberal voters were going to vote in the Republican primary before Haley Barbour's people hired the Liberal to tell his people McDaniel was a racist who was going to keep them from voting in the next election, and take away their food stamps.
Is that what you're saying? Question: Do you honestly believe that?
