Arkansas Blog

You shoud quote from your buddy Sanders' column.

He breaks two stories:
1. One, a poll showing the race to be 40 to 41 with Beebe ahead. Asa references the 19 percent undecided in an Arkansas News piece today.

and

2. Bush will be here for Asa later this month.

Give Sanders' credit where credit is due for breaking the story.

Out here the "I was just following orders" defense doesn't work.

We don't take to kindly to folks who want to mess with our guns. We generally need them to keep the politicians under control.

"Bush will be here for Asa later this month"

That will seal Asa's fate.

I agree with Brummett's call that McDaniel was just playing apprentice to his dad in the case, but not with his notion that suing gun manufacturers was "merely representing the victims fully and thoroughly." That kind of "sue anything that moves" approach to lawyering is a huge part of the problem with America's legal system.

While it may be Brummett's personal opinion that gun manufacturers are responsible for the illegal use of their products, that misguided logic only hurts, not helps, McDaniels' plea of "I was just doin' what Daddy told me to." McDaniels is, at least, smart enough to distance himself from that reasoning.

What a copout, " I was just doing what daddy said"

How pathetic.

I see why nobody reads the Stephens boys news paper. What a boring piece of shit.

Gun manufacturers should be held accountable. We as a nation are the most gun-happy morons on the face of the Earth. The NRA is a terrorist organization.

No, people that misuse guns should be held accountable- although I would say that the NRA is an extremist group. My problem with Dustin is that he has NO problem lying. He will say whatever he has to say to get elected.

Give his headquarters a call and see what he is saying about abortion over the first district. It's quite a bit different than what he is saying in other parts of the state. He pandered to the gay and lesbian community but now says that he doesn't think their homes are appropriate places for children. Is he confused- hardly. He is a liar.

My issue with him on guns is that he just doesn't tell the truth. He signed the court documents and was quoted in news sources about how the case against the manufacturers was good and just. Now he is saying that it was his daddy's doing. Give me a break. Absolutely ridiculous.

"Gun manufacturers should be held accountable. We as a nation are the most gun-happy morons on the face of the Earth. The NRA is a terrorist organization."

I believe that is what the Germans said a few years before the Nazi's took over. Yep that worked real well. "Register the guns to protect our citizens" and then of course when it was time to remove all of the guns so the citizens couldn't defend themselves...it was easy. Check the registration files and go pick up all the guns.

Strange that liberals and Nazi's have so much in common.

If I can have my telephone calls and emails searched without probably cause, you can lose your guns.

The problem with the NRA is that the membership happily applaudes the loss of other civil liberties. Freedom of speech, of unreasonable searches, of the press -- these are eagerly sacrificed just because the president said it would prevent terrorism and gays from marrying each other.

So the NRA really isn't about protecting liberty at all. It's about a gun fetish.

Oh Ricky Bobby how nice of you to pre-edit what you quote. The original line in Sander's piece reads like this:

"I'm told an internal Republican poll shows the governor's race closer that thought otherwise -- 41 percent for Beebe to 40 percent, Hutchinson."

There is a big difference between a poll and an internal Republican poll. And even Sander's figures should be troubling for Asa! A 3 legged duck would poll 98% in an internal Republican poll, so Asa really is in big trouble if he's only pulling 40%.

And just wait until the most hated man on earth, the worst President in American history, Mr. Failure himself, George "Haditha" Bush comes to practice his love on Asa in Arkansas. The smart Republicans are distancing themselves from Bush-Cheney, but not Asa! Maybe Bush will give Asa the Lieberman kiss of death while he's here pretending to know him.

I may put my cats to sleep as a safety measure before Sir Smirks-alot flies over my house. But I look forward to another photo-op to record the Republican True Believers, so they can be identified later on like the racists who stood at the doors of Central High and barred the Little Rock 9 in 1957. Go Asa! Go......back to DC and your penny stocks.

Alright all you second ammendment loving, gun carrying, freedom fighters. Time to get to work and do some actual freedom fighting. Ready to march on D.C.? Hell, just march on Little Rock if you can. How about actually defending those freedoms you're losing daily instead of just puffing up and stroking your guns? Are there any real patriots out there?

DBI, sometimes I wonder why you are so critical of President Bush.

Then, it comes back to me. "Oh yeah, he's right."

The racists of which you speak, DBI, are in your party, not mine.

No nony, the racists of 1957 can't be found today. No living person will admit they screamed insults in LR that day...it was all the fault of Orval Faubus!

We'll see the same thing in a couple of years when it comes to Bush supporters. Won't find a damn one of them by 2010. That's why I want people to take lots and lots of pictures of those that come to see Asa on his leash with first Cheney and then Bush holding the end while spouting made up words about a guy they don't know.

We'll want proof that someone supported Bush, that some of the people of Arkansas liked Cheney. History will repeat......couldn't find anyone that was a Nazi in 1946......so let's get lots of pictures at these money bag passing Asa parties.

If you recall, when Dustin was questioned about this in the primary he said that he was no where near the lawsuit. Now he says that he was doing legal briefs "since daddy said so"

I think this shows what kind of lying piece of shit Dustin is. He has been caught over and over "bending the truth" to get elected.

Oh another thing, if he was just doing it because daddy says so...keep in mind he only went to law school because daddy said so. He also bought the Democrat primary with Daddy's money. As AG, he will be appointing daddy's friends and doing everything else that daddy want's him to. Let's face it, if it weren't for daddy, Dustin would still be a two bit cop in Jonesboro.

Who is running here, Dustin or Bobby...or should I say Bobby or Ricky Bobby?

As Dustin's brother and a lawyer, a profession that a number of my predecessor bloggers don't quite seem to understand, one is quite often placed in a position as an associate attorney of arguing passionately and ethically on behalf of an issue that may contradict one's own personal opinions. If you want proof Dustin has done so, see where he stands with the Bar Association...and I can again assure you that Dad didn't get him there.

DeLay has found this Gun issue and tied himself to it. What if he did that in a lawsuit on behalf of the citizens....it would be tantamount to malpractice. Does Gunnar know Dustin's rating with the NRA, does Gunnar honestly believe that Dustin would have walked the streets as a police officer armed with only a night stick, can you as bloggers claiming Dustin is a "liar" honestly say that you've never worked a job where you disagreed with management, yet still did the work to the best of your ability?

This is not Nuremburg....as some would intimate. This is a society where we resolve disputes in, you guessed it, a civil manner through a separate and independent branch of government designed for that specific purpose. If Gunnar and his minions had true understanding of the job he is seeking, they should understand this better than anyone...yes, DeLay you may have to argue on behalf of a law that you personally don't agree with (Gasp).

Finally, in anticipated response to anyone that says, "well that may be fine but Westside firearm case was frivolous, my response is simple...unpopular does not equal frivolous." See, Loving v. Virginia. Stick to your record DeLay, to the extent one exists, and lay off the guns....it's becoming very, very tired. By the way, friendly piece of advice, tread lightly when you "take those gloves off."
