What Happens When You Cross A Republican With a Republican? I Dunno But It’s Real Dumb.
I’m beginning to think that the GOP run-off between Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel is going to last forever and will end up looking like Sherman went through Mississippi instead of Georgia.
This sucker runs the gambit from illegal photo-taking to suicide to breaking and entering to bribes to … hell, there’s no end in sight.
Although the Mississippi GOP certified Cochran as the winner, McDaniel is claiming that he will challenge the decision.
And get this: he’s superhero CorruptionBuster!
In an interview with WLOX-TV on Monday, McDaniel remarked that “there’s no timetable for justice.”
“We’re going to find the corruption that exists in Mississippi, if it exists, and we’re going to put an end to it once and for all,” he said.
Yeah, putting an end to corruption in Mississippi would be just a little harder than moving the capital from Jackson to New York City.
And if there’s a circus anywhere within the boundaries of electoral college votes, Ted Cruz wants to be the ringmaster. So, he jumps in.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Monday called for an official investigation into alleged voter fraud in the Mississippi Senate runoff, calling all the talk of voting irregularities “appalling.”
Yep, appalling. Bygawd, just appalling.
But here’s where it gets tricky.
“We’ve seen serious allegations of voter fraud,” Cruz said on “The Mark Levin Show.” “And I very much hope that no Republican was involved in voter fraud.
Darlin’, blow your nose because your brain is dusty.
It was a primary. That means Republican against Republican, so if you’re all set to prove that Republicans commit voter fraud, then you aren’t the ringmaster, you’re the clown.
Juanita Jean, this is a question and it has nothing to do with this post, although after I go back and read it I’m sure I’ll think it as wonderful as all the rest of your posts but I probably won’t comment. Here’s my question: Don’t you ever get tired? I’m serious. I know we’re about the same age and I’m in good health, but damn, you seem to have more energy than everybody in the salon put together. How do you do it? Do you have this much energy ALL damn day?
1What I wouldn’t give to see that “reality” show! The fall-out would be dirtier than the ash from Krakatoa in the 19th century! And it would fall on all of them partiers!
2Yes, Nancy, I am tired all the damn time. That’s why I’m sitting here at the computer exercising my fingers when I should be cleaning house. Sometimes I sew, exercising the same muscles.
3I can pretty much guarantee you that even in a contest that is Republican against Republican the radical right will find a way to blame Dems (I mean, after all, the Dems started the Iraq War and caused the 2008 economic crash all by themselves).
In Mississippi it’s probably all those liberal African Americans’s fault.
4Nancy,
Miss Juanita Jean Herownself doesn’t tire. She sucks all the energy from the tears of the TeaPublicans she eviscerates with her sword of humor.
Apparently, humor is both a Teapublican repellent and a Liberal stimulant.
5Ha, Lorraine in Spring! Good one. And JJ, I’m glad it’s not just me who’s tired all the time. Republicans will do that to ya.
6The GOP wears everybody out. I was so worn out when Dubya left it seemed like such a breath of fresh air, UNTIL 01/20/2009 when the seditionists started plotting their treason while Barack and Michelle were at their inauguration galas~so much for hope~
7Totally agree – Cruz is a clown! What an idiotic statement. Do any of these clowns think before they speak? It sure doesn’t appear like it!
8That darn old DC “machine”… in which Cruz is a Vice Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. An ignorant hypocrite…. Cruz wastes what little clean air remains in this nation.
9LynnN (4) is probably right.
Wanna bet? “Voter fraud” if it’s found will be found among those “cross over votes”?
Just a guess.
10As I understand it, the Mississippi primaries are “open primaries”–that is, any registered voter can vote in the Republican primary or in the Democratic primary.
So, if a mischievous Democrat decides to vote in the Repub primary for the wackiest candidate (supposing one could tell which is the wackiest) that might be impolite, but it is not voter fraud.
11Correction, apparently the Democrats who voted in the MS. Republican primary voted for the least wacky candidate–an establishment guy who brings home the necessary pork–and against the wacko “let the poors starve” Tea Party candidate.
Still, it isn’t voter fraud for a Dem to vote in an open Repub primary.
12The Ugly Canadian gets his info from a “show”
13so it’s bound to be factual. And the allegations of voter fraud are brought by one Repug against another, so what are the odds they involve Repugs? Zilch because Obama.
Mississippians get the gubmint they deserve,because they always vote for nutjobs,and they deserve the gubmint they get because they always vote for nutjobs.
14“If it exist” … corruption. Wow this McDaniel guy must have moved to Miss. from somewhere else.
15Before it is all said and done, it will be Obama’s fault.
16Miz JJ: You do know those are the throat choking muscles? Right? Just sayin’.
17OldMayfly–The question seems to be whether some of them voted in *both* primaries, which *would* be illegal. The notion that they might *just* have crossed party lines (and shown up to vote in the teapublican race when they didn’t bother to vote in the democratic one) doesn’t make a lick of sense to them. I just got back from a visit to Georgia, and my sense is that some of the deep south is smarter than they get credit for. Unfortunately, the ones that make the front pages aren’t those ones.
18If only it wasn’t Mississippi, I’d declare the race today as an opportunity seat for the Democratic Party in Nov. In any sane state, after observing Cochran and McDaniel do the coyote ugly on their own limbs, then gnaw on each other, voters would be sick of both of them. Then, double down blame both of them for subjecting MS voters to the indignity of Ted Cruz opining on their state politics.
Am enjoying a new trend, though. Seems the Cruz endorsement is following the path of the Palin curse. Three more long hot months for the GOPee to self-destruct in MS.
19djw, thanks! I think you are right.
20From what I can see, both Texas and Mississippi have open primaries where you can voter in whichever primary you choose. At least I know Texas used to. I live in Oklahoma now where we have closed primaries.
However, there are still ways to beat the system when it is important. This year I was told that many teachers changed their registration to Republican so they could vote against the State Superintendent of Education. She lost – third in a field of three in the Republican primary. A small bit of progress but schools here need a lot more.
21Can we start a petition to pass a bill that requires any person running for Congress pass an IQ test? Really, I mean it.
22“We’re going to find the corruption that exists in Mississippi, if it exists,…..What? Good Grief my little dummy dog is a genius compared to these two morons. The sitting Senator apparently abused farm animals in his youth and the other fool contradicts himself in the same incoherent sentence.
