| "Hey, I don't know the meaning of the word 'lose.' No really, I don't." |
Chris McDaniel's months-long quest to overturn the results of the Mississippi Republican Senate primary appeared to reach its end when the state supreme court rejected his legal challenge Friday.
McDaniel lost to Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) in the June primary, but he has been using the legal system ever since to undermine the election. Allegations of voter fraud and illegal crossover voters have abounded, and the case eventually made its way to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
But the court dismissed McDaniel's challenge on Friday, citing timing and political considerations, according to election law expert Rick Hasen's analysis.
"Sometimes these rulings are a mercy killing. McDaniel’s evidence of fraud seemed weak, and his legal theories about crossover voting even weaker," Hasen wrote. "This timing ruling was a way for the courts to end the process without going through a long drawn out trial. Not that the courts would ever admit they were doing that, but I guess this was in the back of at least some Justices’ minds."
Okay I have seen some sore losers in my time, but this asshole takes the cake.
I hate to say it but I really think that this is the plan for other GOP candidates in the general election as well.
I think that is why Joni Ernst of Iowa is already gathering information about recounts even though the election is still ten days away.
If I am right about this many of our elections may not be decided for weeks, or even months, after November 4th, and some of us could be in for a very long, expensive, and frustrating battle that undermines our democracy and leaves voters stuck in a kind of political purgatory.
Oh joy.
ot but kinda funny

I'm so happy they went up against the asshole McConnell. If anyone in the USA deserves to lose his race, it is this asshole. All he has done is obstruct our government and President Obama.
DeleteTo hell with him and the guess in the U.S. Congress that have followed his lead!
This guy is a particularly nasty, smarmy, slimy, piece of shit, so Mississippi is all the better off, and so is the country, that he got stopped dead in his tracks. He is one less extreme asshat who will get no where near the levers of power in DC, and for that I say HELL YEAH!
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does $arah support every whiner there is? I swear, she looks for the lowest of the low to endorse.
ReplyDeleteThe Sarah Palin Fartknocker Report: Climate Change Is This Century’s Eugenics
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is a busy former half-term governor these days. She’s hit the campaign trail for Republicans no one really likes; she “wrote” a Facespace note telling us how she had a big sad about the Thrilla in Wasilla; and four days ago, she went foraging for derp berries in the Fever Swamps of Poor Historical Analogies. You guys, look what she found!
'There’s no convincing scientific evidence for manmade climate change. The climate has always been changing. Climate change is to this century what eugenics was to the last century. It’s hysteria, and a lot of it’s junk science. And when it’s as discredited as eugenics, y’know a lot of people are going to look foolish and heartless.'
LET US STOP YOU RIGHT THERE, FRIEND. We will give you that the Nazis were “heartless,” but “foolish” is going a bit light on the ol’ Holocaust there, dontcha think?
Indulge us, former half-term Governor Quitterface: How is climate change the 21st century’s eugenics?
'Why heartless? Because this global warming, climate change hysteria hurts the poorest among us. We hear all the time about how liberals care supposedly more for the poor than conservatives do.'
Back up the snow machine, Governor. Earlier in this clip, you told us you’d seen the melting Alaskan glaciers for yourself. In what way is it appropriate to compare those glaciers with, say, forced sterilization?
' But for the sake of climate change, the liberals hold back the poorest parts of the world from the kind of development that we have in America, where roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, and yes, cars and trucks have helped give all of us longer, more prosperous, healthier lives.'
It’s a good point, liberals. The worst part about poor foreigners and their poor foreign shantytowns is that they don’t burn enough dirty fossil fuels. Prove Sarah wrong, you can’t, it’s a fact, look it up.
Here’s the whole clip if you’d like to waste a few minutes of the precious gift of life.

Sarah Palin So Ashamed Of, ‘Humiliated By,’ Drunken Brawlin’ Bristol
...Yeah, those other people who are trying to get famous like a bunch of no-class Palins sure are the worst, aren’t they? They’re nothing like the perpetually failing reality TV stars Bristol and Todd and Sarah and Blerp and Tractor and the rest of them. They just want to be left alone — at least when they look like a dumb drunken mess anyway, right Bristol?
“I don’t want my face in a picture right now,” she said. “There’s nothing on my face except for beer and makeup.”
No wonder she feels bad. The cops totally did not get her good side!
Sarah’s kids might not be proud of their Drunken Thrilla in Wasilla, but Sarah sure is. Or at least she was a month ago. Gosh, can we remember that far back? Yes we can!

He must be from the generation that was given a trophy every time he would just show up on time. For him to think that he could get the MS Supreme Court to OK his 'late, late, late' legal challenge is totally from 'whiner central' and from him, the adolescent who wants a 'do over'.
ReplyDeleteI detest the Republican/Teabagger party! There is not one out there that I respect. They are total assholes! i.e.McCain, Palin, Boehner, the real big jerk from Kentucky that is currently up for reelection (so hope he loses!), etc.
ReplyDeleteThey have done nothing to help our country - to include Republican governors across the nation.
Vote carefully, Americans!
Liberal or Conservative? How Your Brain Reacts to Disgusting Images Reveals Your Political Affiliation

Open Carry Group Hatches Plan: Armed Gun Humpers To Pour Into All Kroger Locations Nationwide
ReplyDeleteOur Open Carry pals have a plan and boy is it a good one this time. Instead of the planned counter protest against Moms Demands Action when they gather at Kroger headquarters, a gun rights group is calling on fearless patriots to go to all Kroger stores nationwide with their guns.
This is all terribly exciting. The group even changed Kroger’s logo with this freedom image and I’m sure the chain store is going to love it.

I think they are doing the same thing career criminals are doing in prison. Filing lawsuits to take up time and suck up money, looking to burden the system until they shut it down.
ReplyDeleteIt worked well for the party, when the guy opposing Senator Al Franken's win kept him from being sworn in for, what was it, ten months? Blocking Senator Franken's swearing-in meant the repugs controlled things a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't know how repugs get the way they are, but they clearly have no self-respect at all.
I hope that he has to pay all the court costs.
