Insert joke here ________.

I'll go first: Will he break double-digits?

Oh man, this ought to be good. What's the over-under date on him dropping out of this race?

You know what, thats fine guys, you can take your swipes at me if you like.

It would be better if you used this thread to talk about issues and something substanitive.

* We have a transportation problem and what are the alternatives?

* Lake Maumelle is a serious issue we need to discuss.

* Civil Unions is the fairest thing to be offered in this city and is what will eventually become law.

* Economic Development should be dispersed throughout the city instead of economically segregating parts of the city. What are the plausible alternatives?

I am prepared to discuss those issues. But look just lay off the attacks on me and my character. It's old and it will do nothing to change anything then make you look like a bully and a punk.

Diamond State Rodeo has some spiffy drag Q's. When's the round-up.

All right, please discuss why you chose to compare yourself to Socrates, Gandhi, Wilde, and MLK during your exposition on being a gadfly.

Why them instead of other gadflies like Lyndon LaRouche or Oscar Stilley?

Based on those positions, I'd probably vote for ya, but is Joan really the one that should be replaced? I don't claim to be an expert, but aren't there other at large board members that are more pro-business and anti-environment than her?
I spoke in front of the board against a development along Rock Creek and she seemed very supportive and asked good questions that helped turn the whole board against the project.

Oh good lord, not this again. Haven't we been through enough already?

Yay!

The sadistic side of me loves the great Arkansas gadfly! Absolutely useless and annoys actual politicos like a mosquito that won't go away.

Hoorah! Butter teeth is back in!

This could get interesting...

There are more comments on this thread than the amount of votes Diedra received for the school board.

An anxious electorate holds its breath...

JohnnieC- yes, Little Rock Director-at-Large Dean Kumpuris needs to be the first to go. Kumpuris was the biggest LR Board ally of Martha Jane Dickey, who was recently forced to withdraw her much sought after reappointment to the Central Arkansas Water (CAW) Board. Kumpuris is totally out of touch with the public.

Kumpuris was also an obstacle in early 2005 when Deltic Timber was trying to strip CAW's power of eminent domain, the only power they have to protect Lake Maumelle. Kumpuris tried to muddy the waters (no pun intended) back then and keep the LR Board from actively working to defeat Deltic's effort.

He is in the pocket of development interests.

Maybe Kumpuris will decide, given Martha Jane Dickey's recent defeat and humiliation at the hands of central Arkansans, that the times they are a changing and not seek reelection. But I suspect he likes having power over other people's lives far too much to retire from 'public service'.

Who came up with the laughable term 'public service' to refer to folks who are more accurately engaged in 'self service'?

JohnnieC, it's simple really.

1.) Gene Fortson is seeking reelection and I think he deserves a full term on the Board. He has a number of individuals supporting him who are friends of mine and who I have supported or who have supported me, so I won't run against him.

2.) Lynn Hamilton picked up packets for Kumpuris' and Fortson's seat, in case Fortson didn't run. With Fortson in the race, I have a hunch Hamilton will challenge Kumpuris, but thats for Hamilton to decide.

3.) Joan Adcock once again is a good person. However, as an incumbent, she is part of the status quo. She has had a chance to present her perspective and vision. If you like the status quo in Little Rock and you like what she's doing then vote for her. However, if you like my ideas and are willing to give me a chance to make a positive difference for Little Rock, I would appreciate your support.

"who have supported me"

your parents don't count.

Well one thing is for sure when there are people trying to tear you down so viciously then you know you are doing or saying something right.

In the past, I have made some poor choices, but I did what I could do to make things better, I corrected anything that was wrong, and I don't live in the past. But I refuse to fight against the foolishness.

You see for some to read this thread they will see what I see. Someone or someones who are insecure about themselves, so they attack someone else, and try to shout them down and make fun of them.

Take your potshots and make your jokes but in all seriousness what are you bringing to the table? What are you proposing alternatively for these problems?

* Little Rock has a crime problem. Bigging a bigger jail will not solve it because crime increases when economic disparity grows wider and deeper. However, what can you propose to make things better?

* Little Rock's working families are paying more and more at the gas stations to get to and from work. There is no effective mass transit system for our city and yet the city grows. What are you proposing to make things better?

* Little Rock has a vibrant and active GLBT Community of which I am just one member. What do you propose to protect, to defend, and to provide the rights guaranteed to the members of that community already guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution, yet is currently denied them.

* There are those who wish to sacrifice non-renewable resources like our water and water sheds to make short-term profit built upon long-term pain and disparity. What do you propose to solve this issue?

Little Rock has serious problems and I am proposing serious solutions. The time for games is over.

* Protecting the Lake Maumelle Watershed from further development.
* Promoting the implementation, construction, and use of a light rail system for Little Rock.
* Seeing that the economic development is more evenly dispersed and promoted not just downtown but south, southwest, and in areas that need economic renewal.
* Adoption of some sort of a Civil Unions policy for the City of Little Rock.

Excellent! Good luck, Drew.

only if Pritt (or should I say "Miss Diedra Windsor Walker") were a serious candidate..

His facebook is a treasure waiting to be discovered!

Here is a sampling that some might find interesting (and it something that is not laced with referenced to his sex-life, or lack of).

From the note '2008 in Review':

9. Went Camping?
You're kidding right? I consider a Motel 6 roughing it. Going to Best Western is like visiting the colonies!

Can someone say elitist?!?!?! Hahaha.

Ohhhhh, the screenshots I have of his facebook. Only if he were worth it.

Drew, don't listen to these FLYING MONKEYS on Arkansas Times who clearly have thorny dildos up their asses. Their souls are so black and dark, y'all. I know in my heart that you were just a young naive little country boy facing the big city all those times you bounced those checks and all those times money mysteriously went missing from various student clubs! And, you know, them squirrels here in South Arkansas can be mean! Jesus forgives you, and you sick f**ks on this board who bash Drew ought to do the same. Y'all, what happened to, forgiveness? Y'all shouldn't laugh at Drew, y'hear? I mean, Dale Bumpers started out small and look, where he got!

Your Sister in Christ;

Elizabeth Rachel Rothstein

Drew,
I'm not hearing anything different here. The BOD is about business and bringing it all in. This is from my point of view in working within the city as an employee. I am also a 'sister' to you. However, Joan has been good to the point of taking care of the voices within the city's departments. What do you have to offer that she hasn't come thru on? For me, within the area that I work in, she is held in high regards, and whether she wins or not is most certainly going to have an impact on how I do my job. If she loses, the people I work with and myself will feel like we've lost an ally, if she wins, then we know our voicese will continue to be heard and appreciated. I want to know Drew, is what you can offer to the employees you would help oversee? Can you take care of animal services, midtown's blight, can you be a voice for the employees who go out and pick up your trash every Thursday and Saturday morning?
Running against her is fine with me but I want to know as I have already seen from her, is can you represent the employees you'll see, admisitrate over, come in contact with? We are leary of new blood because we have disappointment after disappointment from our directors and we stay because we work for the citizens and we hear them first before you ever would.
Good luck

Drew, Drew, my darling, whilst it's thrilling to see an actual politician engage this blog under his real name (or, uh, IS it thrilling?), please know your potential electorate is seeking maturity, no matter your chronological age or sexual orientation.

So take my hand and walk with me, momentito, as we explore the Wonderful World of Parsing together.

"But look just lay off the attacks on me and my character. It's old and it will do nothing to change anything then make you look like a bully and a punk."

Bloggers are forgiving of punctuation errors and typos.

But when you tell others to "just lay off the attacks on me and my character" then call them bullies and punks in the next sentence, flags go up.

I don't care how gay or straight people are (even politicians). I DO care about maturity.

But if you're thin-skinned enough to actually respond to blog trolls, I have two words for you, punkin.

Grow Up.

NormaBates, I'm in the corner over here snickering...that was a good one...you go girl

Mallen1 to answer your question is I will be accessible and I will be open.

I support unionization when it comes to the labor force. In fact, I will stand in solidarity for the workers at Waste Management. Also, for those who are GLBT and in the service of working for the city, I want to make sure domestic partner benefits are extended to all city employees and protected. Also, I support the implementation of a light rail system for the city of Little Rock. That will provide jobs as well as help in alieviating the costs for working families in travelling to and from work. One more thing that I support is involvement. By that, I mean I will be accessible online, by phone, and in person. I will work hard for this city if given the opportunity.

well you are not going to win with that agenda Drew....facts are facts and I know that a light rail isn't going to work...the city is broke...you missed that flier... the city will not any GLBT issue no matter what. So you can't go thinking that route and Waste Management tackles of and on with unionization talk all the time...
If you live in the Fair Park area, then I strongly encourage you to drive east and see what I see. Let your boundries float you around midtown but south of 630...go get lost up in midtown and see what is never blogged about here or anywhere else. Go on over to southwest and take a look thru Wakefield, or Cloverdale and see what is going on over there.
I think your too young and inexperienced to run...your not ready. Lake Maumelle, that mess is going to remain no matter who is on the BOD pocketed or not.
Please I encourage you to go out tonight, or tomorrow and just drive around then come talk to us about what you have to offer...leave that other stuff out...it will only cost you.

But I still wish you luck

Mallen1, I will listen and look around the city. I am not too young and I do already see, the loss of jobs, the run-down houses, the crime, the disparity. But I cannot make changes to help improve these areas if I am not elected and have the power to make the changes.

Will all of the people who have bad mouthed Drew Pritt please go ahead and run for office so everything about your personal life will be disclosed to the public? It's easy for you all to judge because you aren't out there trying to improve the lives of others.

You guys take this press release and turn it to some farce? I guess if that's what you guys have to do to cure the boredom in your life then have at it; it makes you all just as bad as you THINK Drew is.

At least if you disagree with how Drew does things then disagree with them on the a political level and do not attack him personally. Has he attacked anyone of you personally?

I think Drew has some GREAT ideas for the city. So what if he runs and only gets 11 votes. He's still trying to get things done for the community. I, for one, would love to see some type of public transportation in forms other than the bus.

I also think Drew's idea about civil unions is one that like he said will eventually become law so why not save a couple lawsuits and be done with it.

Just disagree with Drew on the issues and don't attack him personally. I feel like half of the bloggers on here are still in high school. This should be a blog where we come to debate issues and not one where we come to make fun of others. Again, that's what high school was for.

I challenge everyone on here to start talking about how Drew is wrong/right on the issues and steer away from the personal attacks.

I cannot believe how mean people are! Ya'll should be ashamed of yourselves. Drew is a wonderful person that I think he has the ability to be a member of the city board. I am so irritated at how IGNORANT and SMALL MINDED people are. I am probably right in assuming that NONE of you have ever run for any kind of office and won. He does'nt judge you, so you don't judge him. I'll vote for you Drew!!

Drew, I try to choose my battles. How do you feel about correcting exemptions locally to the Arkansas Clean IndoorAct? Smoke free parks?

Oh, how I've missed this!!!

Zarathustra, the Arkansas Clean Indoor Act is the law and has to be obeyed. I personally opposed it and believe like Prohibition, it will be eventually overturned. I believe the rights of a smoker have been compromised but until its overturned, it is the law.

Drew -

Thank you for incorporating my advice. Your last couple of posts here are, indeed, much more mature.

I like you and like your policies.

Just not your thin-skinned defensiveness responding to blog trolls. If you're better than they, BE better. Which you HAVE been in your last posts. Thank you. Respect is earned. I applaud your choice to be an honest gay Arkansas politician and think you'll be successful.

Please learn to rise above the temptation to defend yourself against the inevitable name-calling that will be thrown your way. Grownups know how to handle children.

Your supporters, Drew Dearest, are certainly adamant and fanatic (and shrill)!

Exactly, Liberal my darling. Which is why I morphed into Good Samaritan mode to point out that Drew had done just that by calling his detractors bullies and punks.

I can tell he's over it, now.

Norma,

I put this song on while I blogged :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXV6HJxUebg&feature=related

Its amazing how music can speak to our souls. :)

Drew

Maybe you should start small Drew.

Try running for school board....wait...
Maybe start with a party auxiliary, like VP of the Young Democr...wait.

Seriously, Drew, you're a good guy with some decent ideas. Take some time off, finish your degree, get a job, work in the real world for awhile, and then, with some credibility, run for office.

You do nothing but embarrass yourself announcing for office every single time a seat becomes available (Lt. Gov, LR Mayor, School Board, etc...) and getting less than 20 votes and further ruin any real shot you had at holding office.

To steal a page from Jim Rome: "Drew, after losing several elections in a row, take some time off, regroup, then run for office again after a few election cycles - Mike Hathorn"

Veritas, I ran for Lt. Governor and School Board and a Young Democrats position. Look, I appreciate the "advice" but honestly, I have decided to run, I am committed, and will see this race through.

Funny thing, Wisconsin's State Treasurer is someone I know, like, and actually financially supported....Dawn Marie Sass.

You know she ran for Wisconsin State Senate and Milwaukee City Clerk and Milwaukee Municipal Office, and three times she ran for Wisconsin State Treasurer....and she lost. And on her fourth run for Wisconsin State Treasurer in 2006....SHE WON.

I was the campaign manager for a man who lost bids for Illinois State Senate, Illinois State Treasurer, Illinois Secretary of State, U.S. Senate, and Lt. Governor, and then in 2002, he was elected Lt. Governor.

There was this other guy from Illinois who lost countless races for office and won President of the United States....Abraham Lincoln.

The point is this, others told them to stop, take some time off, regroup, and to refocus. They were activists and they stayed to their course as I will stay to mine.

Where the hell is Prouster when we need him?

"I was the campaign manager for a man who lost bids for Illinois State Senate, Illinois State Treasurer, Illinois Secretary of State, U.S. Senate, and Lt. Governor, and then in 2002, he was elected Lt. Governor. "

No, you weren't. Nobody on Pat Quinn's staff has even heard of you.

"There was this other guy from Illinois who lost countless races for office and won President of the United States....Abraham Lincoln."

I'm not going to dwell upon the sheer arrogance of that post, as it's fairly apparent for anyone to see. However, at least Lincoln won a couple State Senate terms and a term in Congress before his presidency. All you've done is bounced some checks, stolen money from the Westminster Fellowship, (ask E. Kate Stewart, UAM professor, if you doubt me), killed squirrels, and vandalized websites. You are a rotten excuse for a human being, and you deserve the ridicule you receive here and elsewhere.

Veritas - let us not forget the solicitation of funds for his own run at John Boozman's seat, despite not filing any federal paperwork. Let us not forget Drew's excuse where he admitted was a ruse to draw attention to his brother's "candidacy" despite not having a valid address in Arkansas.

You never answered my question, Drew. Why compare yourself to Socrates instead of Oscar Stilley?

You ashamed of other Arkansas gadflies?

BTW, nice cop-out on the smoking question. Don't you know civil unions in Arkansas are against the state constitution (the law of the land)?

Arkansas Red, hmmm, funny but a recent court ruling would suggest otherwise. I didn't cop out. I stated my feelings. You know its funny how you get on here and try to back me into a corner and try to force me to agree with your view and your aspect. If you don't agree with me, you have a vote, so use it. Otherwise, stop with this silly game. The voters deserve better than games.

I am offering solutions to problems. You are playing games.

Playing games? Which Arkansas court ruling are you referring to?

Please "run" for statewide office again, and I will avail myself of the opportunity to not vote for you.

Also, why is Diedra's orientation "gay," while Drew's orientation is "n/a" on those respective MySpace pages?

Can the GLBT (I always thought L went first) truly trust you as a leader when you don't proudly proclaim your orientation, but leave it to your alter-ego?

ED is sure fun to read.

Arkansas Red why are you so worried about my orientation or that of anyone else. I am sorry but if you want a date you are not my type. A little too high maintenance and clingy. Go find yourself a nice closet case.

Oh, since you are not a resident of Little Rock, then this election doesn't pertain to you. So that means while you can have an opinion, it's really not up to you to decide. So why you so worried pumpkin?

Finally, lets be honest, I report all my campaign donations. So don't worry about that either.

Go run along and play now and leave the grown ups to find solutions for the problems left to us after RED Administrations have been in office!

Today I was just contemplating how boring the election has become. Like a lot of folks I'm a bit burned out and I tune out the constant Obama/McCain chatter because it's meaningless. I don't think many people will pay attention until the conventions roll around, although I'll certainly glance up from my Vanity Fair when the two announce their running mates.

Then in waltzes Drew in a tattered chiffon gown he got at a consignment shop and a beehive wig, here to entertain us all with comparisons of himself to Gandhi, Socrates and Lincoln. You put yourself in some mighty fine company there, Drew. Of course, you forget one thing: those folks actually accomplished something more than embarrassing themselves with fake campaigns that never get off the ground.

How's your brother doing? The one you were pushing to run again Boozman this fall? That worked out well, didn't it? I heard you were soliciting donations on Daily Kos under your own name, blissfully unaware of money limits, completely without an exploratory committee.

So let's count it...with David in the race (and you as his fundraising proxy) there has been a Pritt on the ticket for almost every election in the past...I dunno how many years, but a bunch. To say nothing of the years you announced for multiple offices. You went from running for Mark Pryor's seat, to Little Rock mayor, to School Board in the course of one cycle, and ended up with a total of eight votes. That should tell you something.

Good luck to you, Drew. I'm gonna pick up some microwave Orval Redenbacher and a six-pack of Bud tomorrow 'cause I think we're in for one helluva show, rerun though it may be. Please file ethics charges against someone. Please.

Drew, I thought you were finally going to finish college after 15 years. Stop this insanity. Get your degree, get a real job, and then run for office. You're making a fool of yourself and you've become a joke. Most people who have heard of you just roll their eyes at this point. Don't you see that? Lay low for a few years, get your degree, get a job and then think about becoming involved. It's time to grow up my friend.

Drew, you never answered my question: Which Arkansas court ruling are you referring to?

I don't think there was one recently since gay marriage and civil unions are banned in the Arkansas Constitution.

I am just curious how you will be able to offer domestic partner benefits, like you promise, since it would be unconstitutional?

Why won't you fully address why your brother listed the residence of Berta Seitz without her permission in his aborted run for congress? People asked you about it on Daily Kos, but you called them Nazis.

Hey Prouster if you want to know how he is doing, he is in Iraq. He is a combat paradmedic and because of the urgent need for those with his skills he chose to remain on the front lines protecting and aiding those injured.

Yes he registered at Berta Seitz's residence with her permission. She didn't know him but knew me and gave her permission. As far as the solicitation of funds we were doing what we could do legally to raise the necessary funds to be competitive. Prouster it seems easy to attack without facts for you but settle down on attacking those who wear the uniform of our armed forces please.

Wrong.

http://www.nwanews.com/adg/News/216024/print/

"She said she agreed to accept mail at her house as a temporary campaign headquarters but wasn't aware that Pritt had used it as a residence for his voter registration."

You're a stinking liar, Pitt. Oh, how are classes at UALR? Going to fail yet again? Hopefully the University of Absolute Last Resort would graduate you to rid their classrooms of your B.O.

The writer of that column is the one who got it wrong. Berta Seitz gave her permission. As far as your attacks....wow. I feel sorry for you.

Little Rock has serious problems and I am proposing serious solutions. The time for games is over.

Wasn't that stolen from "The American President"?
I really lost respect for Drew because of his SHRILL and almost unhinged opposition to Halter in '06.

You know, the military would be a good résumé builder for Drew. Voters love a veteran and nowadays they've eased Don't Ask Don't Tell enough for a gay man to serve. Too bad he's still a convicted felon and a total fatass.

'Bye, Drew!

For a minute I thought I might vote for you because of your positions. But your childish responses here have made me see the light.

Too bad. Arkansas can use a mature honest gay man or woman in politics.

You're not it. Keyword: "mature."

As for your whitebread link to "Amazing Grace," it's just another putrid rendition of the most overplayed hymn in history. The "My Heart Will Go On" of spirituals. Jesus Christ, that's sappy.

Want the real deal for a change, Drew?

Clicky.

What a way to start off the day.

Mr. Pritt, if you want to run for office, it might not be wise to post naked pictures of yourself on gay dating websites. When I first heard them mentioned, I thought it was just a rumor. How could anyone interested in politics be so dumb. Well, a "friend" sent me the pictures. Now I am scared for life.

And no, I no loner have them. I deleted them immediately. I'm sure others still have them.

My advice to you Mr. Pritt is to finish your education and get an actual job. Stop running for office so you can solicit donations. I think we all know where the cash donations go.

someone please assure me Joan Adcock can still remain in the running and not be held to term limits. Drew is an embarrassment and Norma is right there is a whole slew of immaturity showing in his postings.
Drew, did you have the same issues running for class president?

In kindergarden?

Maturity level remained the same.

Please spare any further postings from our eyes....you are truly NOT going to win.

Still waiting on an answer to that court ruling claim, Drew.

You said you want to talk issues, and I want to talk about your promise to extend domestic partnership benefits to city employees despite the fact that those benefits may very well be unconstitutional in Arkansas.

Yes, I don't live in Little Rock. However, if you attempt to do this, I would like to know what kind of legal precedent you would base your argument on (since it is written in our constitution), because if it happens in Little Rock, I can expect an effort in my town (despite it being potentially unconstitutional).

Let's go, Drew. This central tenet of your campaign is controversial (a likely unconstitutional), and I am asking you about the issue.

P.S., please try not to channel Lincoln, Socrates, MLK, Gandhi, or RuPaul in your response.

Sorry Drew, but you blew it on the ACIA. Civil rights pertain to people not behavior. There is no more right to smoke than there is to run naked in public or drive drunk. The courts have been quite consistent that the harm from tobacco justifies policies protecting the public. In short, tobacco free space is not about you but about children and the public health.

The myth of smokers' rights is the result of decades of tobacco industry manipulation of public opinion to the point of a conviction in Federal Court in 2006 for racketeering and fraud under statutes typically reserved for organized crime.

As a gay man I would have expected from you a better understanding of rights. I too hope the ACIA is repealed; repealed to rectify exemptions that fail to provide everyone with their right to a safe workplace and public space.

Look, if you live in Little Rock and choose to vote for me, I will appreciate your vote. If you don't vote for me, thats your right. The people who should be ashamed are those of you who attacked me on a personal level and without facts or reason. Its sad that I once again am offering solutions for problems we face here in Little Rock and rather than discuss those issues some of you decide to attack my character without justification. And it hasn't achieved anything because the problems remain!

Drew, answer Red's question' What court ruling?

How will you give domestic partnership benefits to city employees when the state doesn't recognize domestic partnerships?

Two simple questions, and you are avoiding them.

Now, Prouster. You know calling Drew on that is not a discussion of the issues, but instead an unjustified attack.

Be nice. After all, knowing the state constitution is not part of the talent competition at Miss Gay Arkansas.

"Sorry Drew, but you blew it on the ACIA. Civil rights pertain to people not behavior. There is no more right to smoke than there is to run naked in public or drive drunk. The courts have been quite consistent that the harm from tobacco justifies policies protecting the public. In short, tobacco free space is not about you but about children and the public health. "

Oh God, another anti-smoking zealot. Each post in this thread is funnier than the last (even Drew's pitiful attempts at defedning himself) and then you come along with your cornball diatribe and totally ruin the fun for everyone. Save it for the next fascist rally, Buzz Killington. This thread is reserved for the lulz.

moar lulz.

I noticed that Drew is referring to himself as a "local activist" rather than a "consultant". Times must be difficult for him, though he seems to be able to keep his fat ass fed.

Also, it appears that Drew has two MySpace profiles (other that Diedra's).

In one, previously mentioned, his orientation is "n/a".

In the other, it is "bi".

And he has yet to answer my question about domestic partnership benefits for city employees (when civil unions are unconstitutional in Arkansas).

what's the url of the "bi" one?

blue name

Oh, I have another question for the Christlike Andrew Caleb Pritt. Are you still running for Lieutenant Governor in 2010, or was the article below lying too?

http://www.todaysthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=57053

I think the voters of Little Rock would be interested to know that you have no intention of finishing your term if elected.

You guys really need to chill out a bit. Nothing about what you are writing matters except to your own egoes. Drew Pritt is someone who has some great ideas and whether he is elected or not we need to hear these ideas. Some of your comments show you want to do nothing more than attack Drew Pritt so that shows you are biased and your viewpoint comes from emotion. Some of you ask him for answers and when he gives them then you attack him for giving a response. You need to grow up and shut up! Oh and I am counting votes for Drew on here that cancel out the few of you attacking him. He gave his side and you gave yours so let the voters decide now.

I'm suprised you've waited this long to let your duplicate accounts chime in, Drew, I mean "arkiegirl".

Sorry arkiegirl, I am still waiting for my answer as to how he plans to extend domestic partnership benefits to city employees when gay marriage and civil unions are unconstitutional in Arkansas.

By the way, has your vote counting reached double digits yet?

lo Drew. When your love life goes south you 'run' for office to get attention.

Drew, face it. No man wants an overweight unemployed guy with bad B.O.

Arkansas Red, I mean the rulings we see happening in other states. The "law" you cite passed here in Arkansas is no different than the Jim Crow laws passed and eventually overturned. But there is no law against civil unions. Also, there is no law against extending domestic partner benefits. You are stuck on the wrong issue. My plan is to challenge that issue and see that it is eventually overturned.

BTW, "MisterHands", arkiegirl, LiberalTopher, Eureka Springs, and Rebecca are not me. Just because someone supports me does not make them me.

Also it's the pot calling the kettle black for some of you to question my maturity when you are stirring the pot just as much!

Drew,

Did you ever pay off the default judgment against you to Ad Craft? The court ordered you to pay. I would like assurance that you complied with the court's order.

Drew, that's six people counting yourself. Are we to believe that six of the eight people who voted for you in your school board race are supporting you here? I think not.

Go back to writing one of your whiny Facebook blogs about how "waaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaah nobody wants to be with meeee when will it be my turn to join all the other couples out there someone set me up with JEWISH DOCTORS" (no joke, people, he actually put out a request for Jewish doctors in all caps).

"ERRothstein" you have some serious psychopathic problems, not to mention you are a stalker, and a pathological liar.

Drew, Drew, Diedra...

"But there is no law against civil unions."

Don't need one.

There is a constitutional amendment. To wit:

Amendment 83
1. Marriage.
Marriage consists only of the union of one man and one woman.

2. Marital status.
Legal status for unmarried persons which is identical or substantially similar to marital status shall not be valid or recognized in Arkansas, except that the legislature may recognize a common law marriage from another state between a man and a woman.

3. Capacity, rights, obligations, privileges, and immunities.
The legislature has the power to determine the capacity of persons to marry, subject to this amendment, and the legal rights, obligations, privileges, and immunities of marriage.

I believe section 2 of Amendment 83 pretty much blows away your premise. You can call it a Jim Crow law if you want, but the only way to change it is to amend the constitution.

I'm perfectly sane. I believe in our Republic, and will do anything in my power to inform the people of your egregious record and your despicable behavior to ensure that you are never elected to anything. Incidentally, all I have to do is show people stories written about you in independent media sources in addition to YOUR own quotes to do so.

Drew,

Answer my question.

Did you ever pay off the default judgment against you to Ad Craft? The court ordered you to pay. I would like assurance that you complied with the court's order.

PRICELESS:

This from Drew Pritt's facebook notes.

"SO I guess what I am saying is I am terribly lonely and I would love to have a man. I want someone to lay next to with my head on his chest and listen to the rise and fall of his chest. I want someone to sit outside drinking a coffee with and chatting. Someone to come support me when I perform and someone I can support in his endeavors. Someone to stand beside me if I run for office again. Someone to eventually build a life with.

Guys who I find hot are Vin Diesel, Matthew McConaghey, etc. I like men who are masculine, a lil cocky, and have a nice athletic body. I like guys who can take charge of a sitaution....because face it to date me, I'll need a guy who can take control.

I know I have a lot of great friends. The odds are a few of you know those military guys, jocks, attorneys, JEWISH DOCTORS, who are single and could use a great partner like me. Someone who I can have my life with and join all the other couples."

Gee, Pritt, why just Jewish doctors? I take it Christian doctors, Muslim Doctors, Agnostic or Atheist Doctors, Buddhist Doctors, Shinto Doctors, and Hindu Doctors need not apply? God, you're a racist. You know, beggars cannot be choosers.

Most people add anyone who sends them a friend request. It's interesting that as of this posting, you've only gotten ten supporters (yourself included), and none of your "vast circle of friends" have offered to help you or even written to wish you luck on your wall.
