Re: “Judge Wright issues injunction against abortion law”
No surprise here. Anyone with even a little intelligence knew if the bill became law it would be unconstitutional and challenged.
To save "tax payer money" can Arkansas choose not to fight the challenge or are we forced to go the distance knowing this law is doomed to fail?
Re: “City Director Erma Hendrix unhappy about bike lanes”
First, just because something happens that is not popular with a black politician does not mean it's racial! Erma, "The Man" is not trying to keep your people down by putting in bike lanes.
My advice , read the story "The boy who cried wolf" and you might get a clue why people ignore the "racial injustice" claim for the most part even when racial injustice is taking place!
Second, while bike lanes are the popular thing around the country, in Little Rock, this is tax money wasted on the minority. "No Erma, talking about people who ride bikes, not African Americans."
Little Rock and Central Arkansas in general will never be a "big bike town" with people utilizing bike transportation heavily. The Central Arkansas area is too spread out.
Even if lanes were available, would you ride your bike several miles to and from say work even a few days out of the week? Throw in that great Arkansas heat and humidity and if you survive the trip, you would not exactly be popular working in close proximity of your coworkers.
Sounds good, makes for popular politics, but spending money on bike lanes in Central Arkansas is a waste of money.
Re: “Brantley: Nuts about guns”
I don't see even a conservative republican being any worse given Mark's recent voting history and actions.
"At least with a Conservative Republican, there would be no questions or surprises on where the person stands on issues."
Re: “Report: Bloomberg looks to make 'example' of Mark Pryor”
"Where do I send donations for the Anti-Mark promotions?"
Except for changing parties, Mark has become a conservative Republican. His public announcement that he is against gay marriage, voting against a very watered down gun safety bill, etc......
I see no disadvantage to electing a Republican candidate given Mark's political stance, so plan on voting against Him.
Sadly, I think Mark is going to find himself "out in the cold" without any friends this election.
He has pissed off most Democrats who now see him as a traitor and most Republicans see his recent conservative stance as a "reelection stunt" so don't trust him either.
If you know your probably going to be "kicked out the door", be a man and go down fighting for what's right instead of "pussying" up to the opposition!
Re: “Pryor stands up to the American people”
I'm not sure why Mark has not switched party's yet. Pro-Gun, conservative social stance, have I missed anything?
"I'm voting against Him!" Having a conservative republican in his place won't be that different from what Mark has become or at least is pretending to be.
"Hope daddy can find you a job Mark!" "You'll need one after the next election!"
Re: “The House approves Medicaid expansion, 77-23”
I'm just hoping the private exchange option works as we have been told.
"Is there any chance the Federal Government could reject the way Arkansas has chosen to set this up?"

Re: “Tom Cotton's attack on the Constitution”
This is why when a politician is placed on a pedestal for being the perfect citizen, (Military veteran, Harvard trained lawyer, "good ol' hometown boy", etc...) "red flags" go up for me!
Whither Tom Cotton is mentally unbalanced, a political stooge, or really has "Stalinist" ideals He represents why everyone should never take freedom for granted.
