Tea Party Candidate Ranted Against Libertarianism And 'Boobies'

DANIEL STRAUSS – APRIL 10, 2014, 6:18 PM EDT

Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R), the tea party candidate challenging incumbent Sen. Thad Chocran (R), ranted that a Libertarian Party's write-in candidate for governor of Alabama used her breasts on the campaign trail.

McDaniel made the comments on his radio show The Right Side around 2005 and 2006. The comments were resurfaced on Thursday by Buzzfeed. McDaniel was likely referring to Libertarian candidate Loretta Nall, who ran for governor in 2006.

Nall, The Associated Press reported in 2006, sold campaign gear showing her smiling in a "low cut dress" with text that read "more of these boobs."

"It's so interesting to see this woman, basically using her boobies —I shouldn't have said that— to using her breasts to run for office," McDaniel said on the show. "If that's not the most typical Libertarian platform I don't know what is. The only thing that could probably make the campaign more Libertarian is a heroin needle in her arm."

Mississippi may eventually reverse their present course of electing Senators for life, but I just don't believe they're going to do it with this guy. Cochran doesn't have Dick Lugar's vulnerabilities of focusing largely on foreign affairs and not maintaining a residence in the state.
