Kickback scheme.

Via HuffPo:

Black voters played a huge role in helping Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) fend off tea party challenger Chris McDaniel in a runoff election Tuesday, and now the state NAACP is asking the six-term senator to return the favor.

In an interview with HuffPost Live, Derrick Johnson, president of the Mississippi NAACP, said that Cochran could thank black voters by supporting efforts to re-establish protections in the Voting Rights Act that the Supreme Court struck down last year.

“Our advocacy towards his office is to support amending the Voting Rights Act, free of any conditions such as voter ID,” Johnson said. “I think this is an opportunity for him to show some reciprocity for African-Americans providing a strong level of support for him.”

Johnson said that there are currently no Republicans who support re-establishing the formula eliminated by the Supreme Court last year, though Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and a handful of other Republicans have expressed support for restoring protections. Under the formula, states like Mississippi needed to receive federal clearance before making changes to the way that elections were held. Johnson added that other priorities for the Mississippi NAACP included getting more support for the state’s black colleges and universities as well as getting more federal allocations for communities represented by black elected officials.

Well, it's tit-for-tat, I suppose.

Ol' Thad ran ads telling everyone how his opponent hated blacks and was a racist.

Now he can prove how he's just the opposite.

Live by the sleaze, die by the sleaze, I always say . . .

Gimme, gimme, gimme.

"priorities for the Mississippi NAACP included getting more support for the state’s black colleges and universities as well as getting more federal allocations for communities represented by black elected officials."

The payoff demanded. We used to call this voter bribery.

The GOPe is so desperate to hold on to power they just shot themselves in the foot. This dirty old man and animal molester, Thad, is now the poster child for the corrupt and phoney GOP political apparatus. There is no way the Roveites will be able to spin out of this one.
