» VIDEO: Sarah Palin Calls Out Cochran’s ‘Shenanigans’; Says Why She Would Consider a Third Party

Lead Story By Jennifer Burke, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
As election results for the Primary Runoff in Mississippi were being reported, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin appeared on FOX News’ Hannity to discuss the contentious race between incumbent Republican Thad Cochran, who has held the Senate seat for 36 years, and his Tea Party challenger, State Senator Chris McDaniel.

Host Sean Hannity brought up the anger that welled up in many conservatives as Cochran reached out to Democrats in an effort to catapult him to a win over McDaniel. Following the Primary, McDaniel was ahead of Cochran in the polls by 8 points as recently as the Monday before the Primary Runoff. That’s when the dirty tactics from the Cochran campaign and his supporters came into play. Among those was Cochran crossing the aisle to lure in Democrat voters. Well-known Democrat operatives were even hired to help get out the Democrat vote in the Republican Primary Runoff for Cochran.

This illegal and dirty strategy is what many believe made the difference for Cochran in his victory. While Democrats can vote in a Republican primary in Mississippi, they can only do so if they also intend to vote for that candidate in the General. CNN interviewed numerous Democrats as they left the voting booth who admitted that they voted for Cochran and confirmed that they intended to vote for the Democrat in the General.

Palin responds to what was looking like, and inevitably became, a Cochran win.
Well, you know, as for the primary, and perhaps if it’s true, some shenanigans going on there, nothing should surprise you, but that’s old-school politics where it’s a bit of the status quo and that’s got to go. It’s very rare in a Republican Primary that the candidate who promises to bring home the bacon, promising bigger government, which is requiring higher taxes and more burdensome government, actually pulls it off in the Primary.
She continues saying that it will be surprising to see how that crossover of Democrat voters actually impacts the General election.

After discussing the problem with the status quo and the importance getting new blood in DC, Hannity asks Palin about whether she would actually consider going third party, a possibility she has alluded to in the past.

Palin responded, “If Republicans are gonna act like Democrats, then what’s the use in getting all gung ho about getting more Republicans in there?”

Breitbart —
Are you a commodity, or an American? An economic unit, or a human being, a child of God, even? It’s good that Sen. Jeff Sessions is asking these questions, because the elites in both parties already have their answers: They do, indeed, see the American people as mere “commodities,” implying that Americans have no particular special value. Moreover, they further think that if we are just fungible commodities, there’s no reason we can’t be manipulated...

Washington Examiner —
 photo 062614NewsBriefs9.jpg The Supreme Court gave privacy rights a big victory in the digital age, unanimously ruling Wednesday that police can't search the cellphones of people they arrest without a warrant. The justices said that because cellphones potentially contain vast amounts of personal information unrelated to a person's arrest, they should be off limits to a police search without a warrant...
