Tea Party candidate taken behind the woodshed by an old man asking a simple question

Quote:JACKSON, Miss. –A quiet morning campaign event erupted into a shouting match Thursday morning when a Democratic voter crashed a coffee klatch by State Sen. Chris McDaniel and got into an angry confrontation the conservative who is challenging six term Sen. Thad Cochran.

“How, with no seniority and a promise simply not to get along with anyone, will you accomplish any of the things you want to accomplish?” shouted John Davis, a 77-year-old retired teacher who was shopping at Kroger’s grocery when he noticed Mr. McDaniel about to begin a meet and greet session with about a dozen local retirees.


“What have they accomplished lately by putting us in debt?” shot back Mr. McDaniel, who outpolled Mr. Cochran in the June 3 primary but is facing in a June 24 run off because he did not break 50%.

Mr. Davis, with finger-wagging emphasis, retorted, “What have they accomplished? They have accomplished airports. They have accomplished roads. They have accomplished schools.’’

It looked like it would get really ugly when Mr. McDaniel snapped, “Get your finger out of my face.”

Mr. McDaniel responded to his support for federal spending by saying, “you do so by adding trillions on my children’s back, trillions of dollars we can’t recover from. Our country borrows 46 cents on every dollar.” Mr. Davis interrupted and said, “I don’t want this rote answer. I want to know how you will accomplish it.”

Mr. McDaniel backed away and sat down, and Mr. Davis was surrounded and eventually sent away by the octogenarians who had gathered to hear from the candidate.

The mainstream media is supposed to have a liberal bias, but when have you ever heard any MSM talking head ask a Tea Party lunatic a question as simple as "how will you accomplish cutting government spending without allowing everything we rely on to fall apart?" If there was a bias, they'd ask it all the time, because it would put on display the complete lack of value inherent in this ideology.

Now ask yourself how many corporate-owned MSM talking heads keep going on about Benghazi even though it's an obviously artificial 'scandal', and you'll know where the bias really lies.

Rock on, old dude.
