I have the highest regard for Bumpers, Pryor the elder and Tucker and believe Halter is their heir apparent.

You speak of what you've done to "grow the Party", well you've done a great job, four repub congressmen and the real possibility of two repub senators. In the immortal words of G.W. Bush "Hell of a job Brownie" make that Pritt.

You claim to know some "truth" about Halter, well here's a forum, please reveal this information right here. Oh that's right Halter has a PAC and goes to "fancy cocktail parties" parties sort of like the ones Bill Clinton attends. The truth is that you don't have a PAC because nobody would contribute to it and you don't go to "fancy parties" because you're not invited.

Re Bill Halter- the point is most so-called Arkansas Democrats for a number of years are Democrats In Name Only. We, the great unwashed, call them DINOs for short. A prime example is Blanche Lincoln. It was obvious a year before she went down to defeat that she was toast. A number of us posted just that on this blog. AND that she would morph almost instantly into a paid lobbyist, the lowest form of life on planet earth. After all, that's the same thing she was doing when she was in office!

Your opinion that Halter can't get elected statewide is just that, an opinion unsupported by any facts. As I recall Halter is 1-for-1 in statewide elections. And your record getting elected to a statewide office is- drum roll please? I thought so.

Richmond Times-Dispatch columnist A. Barton Hinkle recently made what should be a simple point to understand:
This all sounds great—if you are a state official. But if you are a lowly taxpayer, it leaves out one rather significant point: Where is all that federal money coming from?

No great mystery: Most of that money would come from taxpayers who live in the very states that are looking forward to these supposed windfalls. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, if every state signed up for Medicaid expansion, then the federal government would spend nearly $1 trillion over the next nine years—paid for by you.

So you don’t have to wait for Medicaid expansion to reap this sort of “windfall.” Just take 5 bucks out of your left pocket and put it in your right. As far as your right pocket is concerned, you’re 5 bucks richer. It’s free money!

Rick,
Even Rick Watkins doing his Yosemite Sam routine thinks that's messed up. Cotton "voted against something" and you wish him dead? You don't even know what the legislation was and your wishing him dead? I don't think that's what the liberal progressives on this blog site stand for. I don't like Cotton but that's extreme, careful Karmas a bitch!!!

NVR,

Totally agree with you and DSSW — “Silver Linings Playbook” is a most-enjoyable pitcher show. Saw it last night in Hot Springs after DSSW got roped into playing cards with a pack of bluehairs. (She’s far from a bluehair, but they guilt-trip her into playing with them almost every time we’re at the lake.)

Anyway, very much enjoyed the movie. But wish I’d waited till we got back to our nice theaters over here in the Rock. Both the Carmike Central City 10 and the Hot Springs Mall Cinema theaters in the Spa City just plain suck. No stadium seating; small screens; sticky, nasty floors. Jesus!

Hot Springs, is the state’s 11th biggest town and with a metro area population of over 100,000 plus 3,000,000 visitors a year: It has Oaklawn, outstanding restaurants, museums, shopping, medical services, etc, but the movies houses are absolutely third world. Shame on any of the town’s movers and shakers whose eyes might fall on these lines. It’s 2013! Y’need to get with the program.

eLwood’s color photos of Paris are spectacular. Makes one yearn to return many times over. NVR, I still think you’d enjoy “Midnight in Paris.” I know, you don’t like Woody Allen; but, trust me, you’d like Midnight.

Outta here: Time for Downton Abbey.

Serving not the interests of their constituency, but those of their financial sponsors for reasons based in conservative political ideology with the unerring belief that they do the work of God.

C'mon, Arkansans, we can do better than this. Or can we? We are screwed for awhile folks.

The Americans have, in the treatment of women, fallen below, not only their own democratic principles, but the practice of some parts of the Old World. The unconsciousness of both parties as to the injuries suffered by women at the hands of those who hold the power is a sufficient proof of the low degree of civilization in this important particular at which they rest.
While woman’s intellect is confined, her morals crushed, her health ruined, her weaknesses encouraged, and her strength punished, she is told that her lot is cast in the paradise of women: and there is no country in the world where there is so much boasting of the “chivalrous” treatment she enjoys.
That is to say, —she has the best place in stage- coaches: when there are not chairs enough for everybody, the gentlemen stand: she hears oratorical flourishes on public occasions about wives and home, and apostrophes to woman: her husband’s hair stands on end at the idea of her working, and he toils to indulge her with money: she has liberty to get her brain turned by religious excitements, that her attention may be diverted from morals, politics, and philosophy; and, especially, her morals are guarded by the strictest observance of propriety in her presence.
In short, indulgence is given her as a substitute for justice. Her case differs from that of the slave, as to the principle, just so far as this; that the indulgence is large and universal, instead of petty and capricious. In both cases, justice is denied on no better plea than the right of the strongest. In both cases, the acquiescence of the many, and the burning discontent of the few, of the oppressed testify, the one to the actual degradation of the class, and the other to its fitness for the enjoyment of human rights.

Harriet Martineau, Society in America, 1837

Let me suggest that 175 years later, America still has a problem in the way it treats women. I further suggest that this mistreatment can be ended when women use the power of the vote to their advantage.
