Dynamics of U.S. Senate race take shape in Mississippi

by Bobby Harrison

JACKSON

"In recent years, Republicans’ efforts to take over the United States Senate have been thwarted at least in part by the ultra-conservative wing of the party – i.e., the Tea Party.

In Nevada, Delaware, Missouri, Indiana, Alaska, to name a few, the Republicans have lost what at one time were considered likely victories by nominating candidates the general election voters viewed as too conservative, out of the mainstream.

PPP, a national polling firm that is viewed as having allegiances to the Democratic Party, recently polled the 2014 Senate race here in Mississippi.

The poll revealed that in Mississippi – viewed as a safe Republican seat in national and most state elections – at this point in time a Democratic candidate would be competitive with state Sen. Chris McDaniel, R-Ellisville, who is the only candidate yet to announce he is seeking the seat in 2014.

McDaniel, who can be seen statewide in television commercials being paid for by national Tea Party-related political action committees, leads by slight margins two big-name Democrats – former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove and former U.S. Rep. Travis Childers of Booneville. He trails by a slight margin current Attorney General Jim Hood – Mississippi’s only statewide elected Democrat.

In all three instances, the races are statistically dead heats, meaning the results are within the poll’s margin of error.

It would be interesting to see how Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley would have fared in the poll.

Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, a possible candidate for the Senate seat, polls better than McDaniel against the three Democrats – though there is only a one-point difference in a head-to-head with Hood.

PPP polled 502 Mississippi voters, “including an over sample of 422 Republican voters,” making the strong showing of the Democrats mentioned in the poll even more surprising.

Of course, the question is whether six-term incumbent Thad Cochran will run again. The veteran Republican has said he will announce a decision this month.

The poll indicates that Cochran is vulnerable. He leads McDaniel by only 6 percentage points and 55 percent say they would prefer a candidate more conservative.

At this point, the smart money might be on Cochran not running. Normally, if a politician plans to seek re-election, that person does not give any potential challenger an opening by wavering.

If Cochran does run, none of the aforementioned Democrats will enter the race, though, surprisingly, according to the poll, Hood would be competitive against the incumbent.

But still, regardless of the poll, it is difficult for daily observers of the Mississippi political scene to imagine a scenario where a Democrat could defeat Cochran in the general election.

If Cochran does not run, though, look for big-name Republicans and at least one Democrat to enter the race.

The PPP poll shows McDaniel, who has received a great deal of statewide attention since his announcement, with a slight lead in a crowded Republican field, which might include U.S. Reps. Greg Harper and Steven Palazzo, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, Auditor Stacey Pickering and Hosemann.

Interestingly, Reeves polls at the bottom of the Republican field with only 3 percent support.

But the interesting proposition for state Democrats, who have been beaten up and are at a low ebb, is whether a candidate could emerge from the Republican primary that even by Mississippi standards might be viewed as too conservative.

That has happened in other states, costing Republicans a chance to garner a Republican Senate majority.

Many might argue that the general electorate is much more conservative in Mississippi, meaning that a candidate who is too conservative, say in Indiana, would not be in Mississippi.

Is that correct?

We might see next November."

"The AFA is a notorious anti-gay hate group.": A link to SPLC outlining AFA's "Hate Group" designation.

"The problem with the claim [from the American Family Association] is that it just isn't true. Charisma News just took the AFA as a legitimate source, which it isn't. Religious fundamentalists believe AFA legitima[cy] simply because it tells them what they want to hear. Truth and accuracy has nothing to do with it."

outlandish: If it wasn’t for gerrymandering and strategic disenfranchising the Democrats

*America is rejecting party politics based on strict religious dogma, politics of exclusion, politics of fabrication of facts and politics driven by who doesn’t deserve to be given a share of the pie which is all modern Republicanism is selling.”

ni·hil·ism

 noun \ˈnī-(h)ə-ˌli-zəm, ˈnē-\

: the belief that a society's political and social institutions are so bad that they should be destroyed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“If it wasn’t for gerrymandering and strategic disenfranchising the Democrats would have the house now and the destructive economic vandalism that came from the tea caucus wouldn’t have happened.Democrats in the house vote in 2012 received around 1.5 million more votes yet Republicans lost a few seats but kept the house.Republicans had no honest mandate and the irony is that all the seats they lost in 2012 were held by Tea Party dormice, while in what should have been close races the Tea people spiraled out of contention by being so far over the top and so ignorant of facts that they flamed out and crashed to earth. 


Yet the Tea nihilists(1) who had even less of a mandate caused more economic and political destruction than imaginable. They are nothing but scorched earth destructionists that nearly threw America of a steep, undermined and crumbling cliff over the past month and their only regret is that they didn’t succeed and in the midst of pure unfettered nihilism the old guard Republicans only managed to prove how spineless and ineffectual they are. Republicanism unless it finally tries to enter the post civil rights era is an essay in diminishing returns. 


They’ve lost all of the ethnic voters and it was only 70 years ago that blacks voted in the majority for Republicans but  beat down after beat down, they fled the party of Lincoln as it morphed into first the party of the rebel south and more recently the party of the John Birch conspiracy central, non science believing fundamentalist, literalist bible party. Hispanic are gone after being vilified and the faux post outreach program devised and rolled out soon after the 2012 election proved to be nothing but smoke and mirrors, the mirrors were shattering as Reince Priebus was laying out their new direction. 


Forget about young voters, who are far less complacent about politics than previous generations and are pushing for change that is the antithesis of all things Republican, they [young voters and old voters] want a more diverse, more cultured, more inclusive, far fairer and more egalitarian America, none of which Republicans have to offer. The Generation X and Millennial voters are much further left than their parents and further left than the Democratic Party and I wouldn’t surprise me if the 2 party system morphs into the Democratic Party middle and a workers, social democratic Party on the left but right wing extremism will fade with the end of the me first, last and only generation that is the core of the Republican base.  *America is rejecting party politics based on strict religious dogma, politics of exclusion, politics of fabrication of facts and politics driven by who doesn’t deserve to be given a share of the pie which is all modern Republicanism is selling.”

Dedicated To AFA Dark Side Tupelo MS: Rick Scarborough, TParty Leader, Suggests Class Action Lawsuit Against Homosexuality

My favorite quote from the Web I dedicate to the American Family Association's "Dark Side" Of Tupelo, MS.:--ABratt

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Speak all you want Sir and use whatever tactics you feel are necessary, however, you will never stop the progress of freedom for all in this country. Slowly, little by little we are achieving that grand goal set forth by the Founding Fathers. Bit by bit we are becoming a nation of equality and equal opportunity for all Americans.

House Republicans and the Betrayal of Democracy | Geoffrey R. Stone

... the House Republicans have every right to try to get their preferred policies enacted into law through the democratic process. They have tried to do this politically, electorally and judicially. They have failed at every turn. The have lost every time they have tried to repeal Obamacare through the legislative process. They have lost in the Supreme Court when they challenged the constitutionality of the law. They have failed politically with the electorate when they were soundly defeated in the 2012 election. Indeed, the only reason House Republicans can play this cruel and criminal game at all is because they gerrymandered congressional districts to enable them to control the House even though they were defeated by the Democrats in the national popular vote for Congress.--Geoffrey R.

GOP insider: Religion destroyed my party - Salon.com

Original Salon Post 8-15-12, Recent Blog Post 9-26-13

The author of this article appears to  equate the words "religious right" and "Tea Party" as synonymous or very nearly so, which, in fact, they are: The "Tupelo MS Tea Party" and the "American Family Association" are very close kin, so much so that I, a resident of Tupelo myself, have decided to include the two together as  being  a part of Tupelo MS's "Dark Side."--ABratt  

The Tea Party, which initially described itself as wholly concerned with debt, deficit, and federal overreach, gradually unmasked itself as being almost as theocratic as the activists from the religious right that Armey had denounced only a few years before. If anything, they were even slightly more disposed than the rest of the Republican Party to inject religious issues into the political realm. According to an academic study of the Tea Party, “[T]hey seek ‘deeply religious’ elected officials, approve of religious leaders’ engaging in politics and want religion brought into political debates.” The Tea Party faithful are not so much libertarian as authoritarian, the furthest thing from a “live free or die”Constitutionalist.

Why Obama Can’t Pay a Debt-Ceiling Ransom -- Daily Intelligencer

Will O stand by his word is yet to be determined.

Making a point melodramatically on Sunday, President Obama said, "We will not negotiate over whether or not America should keep its word and meet its obligations."
In reality, Congress and administrations have for decades—under both Republican and Democratic presidents—negotiated over or included spending and budget reforms as a part of debt-ceiling increases.

Point-Counterpoint Tupelo MS .Daily Journal Discussion Team– Ed Holliday, James Hull.

Ed Holliday, July 13, 2013: 

James, first let me say that the Shannon board has spoken and if anyone feels that their rights have been violated, then courts are available. [The Town Board of the Town of Shannon MS has, in the last couple of weeks, denied a prospective business owner a permit to manage a Gay Bar inside the Town Limits.]--ABratt

James, now as to your point that traditional marriage in not threatened by same sex marriage I must say that you are dead wrong.  The entire debate about gay marriage should be about the children – children now and in the future.  Why would we give our children a different definition of marriage? In a country based on Judeo-Christian values, how is gay marriage affecting our children?

First, we know longstanding institutions such as Catholic adoption services have been shut down in states where gay marriage is now legal because they refuse to place children into homes that contradict their beliefs. 

 Second, in states where gay marriage is legal, children are being taught in kindergarten that they can grow up to marry either a man or a woman. How will this affect the next generation? Preliminary statistics show that over 30 percent of children raised in a home with gay parents end up adopting the gay lifestyle, and, yet, in the general population only 2-3 percent of the population  practice the gay lifestyle.

 Are we experimenting with our children in a “Brave New World?” Will a continuing change in the definition of marriage lead to an imploding civilization such as ancient Greece and Rome?

If our society says it is right to change the definition of marriage to include gay people, then how can we legally discriminate against the bisexuals? Shouldn’t they be given the right to marry a man and a woman? [LOL] And if it’s about marrying who you love why can’t people marry two or three or four or more different men and women? [LOL AGAIN]  Using these standards, how can we legally stop incestuous marriages? How about transgendered marriage rights?[LOL AGAIN & AGAIN].

God is not mocked.  America is dying. Judgment comes on both the just and the unjust. The Bible tells us about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. They refused to bow down and worship a false god in ancient Babylon. We need such men and women with a backbone today. [False Gods and Satan are both a part of the Fundie lifestyle!]--AB

ABratt's favorite public comment from this article:

"The GOPers have been stringing Obama along from the beginning, pretending to be dealing in good faith when their strategy all along was to tie him up in endless negotiations whose failure could then be imputed to his inability to lead. To a remarkable degree, however, it hasn't worked and, as doubtful as the future seems, Obama's position is the stronger of the two. To the extent that the economy continues to grow, or even hold its own, he will get the credit for it. To the extent that it slips back into recession the culprits will just as clearly be the Republicans. And with the party in disarray there will be blood in the water."

It would have been more accurate if Fischer and McFarland had said the current (4) secular organizations are fighting the christian right-wing extremists to continue to maintain America’s Existing Secular Government  against the current wave of Christian Fundamentalist Theology destruction. –ABratt     

“American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer spoke yesterday with fellow AFA radio host Alex McFarland about Project 2026, which McFarland explained is a long-term initiative to save America from annihilation at the hands of ‘the four groups that are actively working to secularize and destroy America: humanists; atheists; militant homosexuals; and Muslims.”’

"There's a show-down coming between the American Public and the NRA! Win, lose, or draw, the NRA will no longer be the powerful organization that it is today. The NRA president has reminded us all of how powerful they intend to be politically. That comment, folks, was their Waterloo, the Straw that broke their backs!

Question to commentor:

You say science is just a theory. Believing that, how do you plan to convince the world that Creationism is science when right straight off the bat in the first five pages of the Creation Story in Genesis there are two separate and distinct versions of it?

Do you think that people will want to fly in an a jet airliner crisscrossing the skies at high altitudes and jet-age speeds built on Creationist Science from the two versions of Creation handed down to man by a mythical, personal  God?--ABratt

Obama Record On Deficit Reduction Solid, Contrary To GOP, [Fundies] Squawking

By Jason Easley, Jan. 12, 2013, Link re-posted by ABratt's Perspectives Jan. 16, 2013.

Rachel Maddow:

"You would never know it from the way the deficit peacocks are crowing against this administration, but the deficit is now more that two hundred billion dollars smaller than it was when President Obama first took office. We are currently witnessing the fastest deficit reduction in this country since the end of World War II...."

_______

"Armed with facts, Rachel Maddow completely obliterated the great Republican lie that President Obama has blown up the deficit."

Problem is, some Conservative American Talibanists, aka American Family Association's Tim Wildmon, in particular representing the "Dark Side" of Tupelo, MS, continue to lie incessantly about President Obama's handling of the deficit, including other talking points he conjures up in his anti-Obama obsession.

Here is a recent article Wildmon submitted to the Tupelo, MS Daily Journal where he writes a Sunday editorial page column:   

I am not so sure that President Obama is not intentionally trying to bankrupt the United States of America. I know I am not supposed to say that out loud, but I am just looking at how the man behaves.

When a problem like our country’s debt is spiraling out of control – and economists and serious thinkers on both sides of the political spectrum warn against the coming calamity due to the debt – and Obama shows absolutely no interest in trying to cut or even slow down the borrowing and spending, it does make one wonder what his motives are....

American Family Association Warns Christians Of Bigotry, Family Unit Ruin, A Muslim Preasident

Introduction to Main Article:

ABratt's Perspectives: Spotlighting AFA's Don Wildmon, Founder Of The "Dark Side" Of Tupelo, MS, An Otherwise "All American City".

There are two subjects that Rev. Wildmon included in his warning message to his Wildmonites, his Followers, his Members,  that really caught my undivided attention: "Bigotry" and "Muslim President".(see Main Article below)

"Bigotry" is a word that Wildmon knows all too well. It is a word that has come to define his own life-style, his life's-work,  his own mind-set, his life's-resume'. And, it's all documented for those who seek to know about the man and his organization, AFA, "American Family Association." Don's Bigotry is manifest in his array of anti-prefixed groups of people across the entire globe: anti-black (President Obama, for example), has been on the Wildmon's well-documented hate-list since the day he announced his first-black, first-term presidential campaign. And, in addition, there is Tim's and Don's and their AFA associates connection with the racist, white-supremacists Council Of Conservative Citizens. Google the subject and see what you can find out about the Wildmon Boys' Agenda and the tax-subsidized AFA they founded to insure that agenda was well established and functioning for eternity if that possibility was in the future.

Then, there is the most prominent 'anti' the anti-GLBT agenda. This is their greatest 'anti' category. It has, no doubt, been a lucrative campaign through the years. Wildmon's AFA gave $500,000 to help in the anti-gay fight known as Proposition 8 in California. Apparently, Donations from their AFA backers knows no bounds. And, then, there is the tax-exempt advantage to religious groups like the AFA who claim to be performing "God's Will, God's Work."  Which, in my opinion, is HUMBUG at its finest!-- AB

ABratt wants to share his favorite Web Comment on  Rev. Don  Wildmon's E-mail Message:

"Just more hysteria and playing"the persecution card". The

minute someone puts the brakes on their ability to

discriminate, no matter how lightly those brakes are applied,

the Religious Reichers start whining "persecution". They are

afraid of a world, or at least a United States, in which they

no longer rule the roost and can no longer walk all over those

they have been historically been able to. I would welcome an

America in which their influence is greatly diminished. They'll

still be able to go to church, read their bible, pray, and do

everything they do now, except trying to deny others the rights

they so jealously guard for themselves. Jerks like Wildmon are

scared to death at the thought that someone might turn around

and treat them as they have treated others-LGBT, women, black,

latinos, Native Americans, Muslims, etc. It would serve them

right if they did, but I hae more faith in America than they

do. However white dominance is coming to an end in the US and

people like the AFA will just have to learn to live with it."
