Andrew/Drew/Caleb/Deirdre Ho Jenkins (all real and assumed names and aliases he has used during his storied criminal career) is pathetic beyond words. The man has been convicted of many crimes involving fraud and theft of services, and is currently evading prosecution in Alaska for defrauding a double amputee war veteran and his family there. I'd say that he deserves to get raped by a pack of rabid dogs, but it would be terribly cruel to subject those poor animals to something so traumatizing.

Is this the same Drew Pritt who stole money from a fundraiser for a soldier who lost his legs fighting for our country? (see above link) Yes, it is.

Is this the same Drew Pritt whose biggest accomplishment in life is having been a drag queen? Yes, it is.

Is this the same Drew Pritt who has tried run for just about every office he can find – and failed every time, including only having received 8 votes for a Little Rock office? Yes, it is. (And I would like to meet those 8 people because they clearly do not know you.)

Is this the same Drew Pritt who ripped off a family owned printer in Little Rock? Yes, it is.

Is this the same Drew Pritt who defrauded taxpayers by illegally writing checks off a taxpayer-funded Senate account while working for REPUBLICAN senator Tim Hutchinson? Yes it is.

If there’s a poster child crying for a reason to take away a person’s first amendment rights, it would be you Drew Pritt.

Everyone who reads this blog knows about your illegal, immoral and insensitive life of lies. You’re a huckster, a thief and a disgrace to Arkansas and our country. You deserve to be in jail, but you’re not even worth the cost to taxpayers.

Nobody takes you seriously on this blog, so you’re wasting your time popping-off here. Only those who do not know you or who are not aware of your past would take the time to even hear you out, let alone trust you to do anything other than rob them blind.

Just to be clear -- I am in no way a supporter, campaign staffer, etc., for Mr. Halter. I don't like the man one bit. (Almost as much as I don't like you.) You are one fishy character and the stink lingers far after you've gone on to the next cash cow. Quit clawing up the ass of the state Democratic Party and do something original for a change. You are an embarrassment to the LGBT community and to Democrats in Arkansas in general. And now back to ignoring you in hopes you'll disappear.

The only decent politician Arkansas has had for years at any level is Mike Beebe. Without an equally good replacement Arkansas will become Michigan, Wisconsin or Virginia...a state run by anti-government Bible-beaters. I was never a McDaniel supporter due to his behavior in and out of office, none of it concerning his penis, which I don't care about. He acted apolitical making it impossible to figure out where he stood....except for standing for himself at all times.

The national and state Democratic Party gave us Senator NOozman, not Bill Halter. The dishonesty of Garland County Democrats gave us Senator NOozman, not Bill Halter. What's shocking to the Arkansas Democratic Party about Bill Halter is that he isn't a pretend Democrat with an soft chewy Republican Conservative center. Bill is an old fashioned Arkansas Democrat, an FDR & LBJ Democrat who cares about working folks. Who cares about education for every kid. Who isn't interested in dirty tricks and wants to move Arkansas out of the 20th century, if not the 19th.

We do need him in the Senate, but first we need him in the governor's chair. We must remember the election of 1872 when the radical Republican Powell Clayton was such a terror as Arkansas Governor that both Democrats & Republicans joined hands to elect Powell to the Senate just to get him out of Arkansas. That shows how important it is that we have a good person as our Governor.

Douche Boozman, from his Senate seat can deny food and medicine to sick kids, refuse to help our returning veterans, but his actions don't hurt Arkansas like they would if he was our governor. Arkansas is much safer with 6 bad guys in DC than it would be with 1 bad guy in Little Rock. That's how important it is to replace Beebe with Halter. That's why my family will work hard to get Bill Halter elected as our next governor.

The only politician on the scene with a ghost of a chance of moving Arkansas forward is Bill Halter. Look what he did in the absolutely worthless office of Lt. Governor. Yes I'm mighty beholden because my award winning 2nd daughter is in the 3rd year of a quality college education she would have never had except for Bill Halter. In 20 years we'll all be super thankful Bill Halter made it possible for record numbers of Arkansas students to enter college and finally lift our state out of 48th spot.

Governor Halter now! Senator Halter later! Maybe even President Halter someday when we run out of Bush & Clintons to run. I have hope!

This thread is not about me. But FOR THE RECORD, I never was anything but accused. Never charged by the police, never convicted by a court of law. And until things change legally, we all are innocent until proven guilty.

So attack the messenger all you want, but the truth I speak about Bill Halter and plan to continue to speak is truth! He was charged by Arkansas Democrats and in the 2010 U.S. Senate primary CONVICTED.

And where has Bill Halter been since he lost?

I, for one, welcome our new Democratic Overlord.

Otherwise, all those 'progressives' that failed the D party last time won't be so squeamish about a preposterously qualified candidate who can speak bidness and social justice at the same time--given the alternative of the Ledge and Spring Street both going to the most ignorant, greedy bunch of hypocrites "since Reconstruction," to use the popular (unironicallly echoed) self-congratulatory wording of the state GOP.

I can't decide whether or not to credit Team Halter for getting JMcD out of the race. Ultimately, it's all on the AG, of course: Never sleep with anyone crazier than you... But if it comes out that Halter's loyal nerds have been trolling the interweb all along... I just don't care for minions--but maybe they're a political necessity. Bill, bring on some more Arkies, seriously. My people will call your people, of course.
