Blanche Lincoln thinks playing bouncy music along with images of children is taking care of Arkansan's problems. How many of these kids shown in her video will live long, productive lives when Arkansas is rated 48th in national life expectancy? *

This pathetic ad puts so much lipstick on this swine, the pig gets suffocated in 'Blanche Blood Red' - her favorite color. The irony is that she is the one acting like a child by refusing to be an adult in negotiations, preferring instead to take her toys and go home.

• Arkansas is a lowly 48th in the state health rankings, dropping from 46th in 2006. *Arkansas Department of Health website - (data '07)

• Arkansas is rated 48th in national life expectancy.

• Arkansas ranks 48th among states in a national study of well-being


Way to go Blanche!!! That's 'Answering to Arkansas' - at least the ones who are still alive...

1. I hope Halter kicks her RW butt all the way from DC back to AR. nt

[DonCoquixote]

2. This is a job for Bill Clinton

As much as I am angry at him for other things, I admit, having Bill Clinton get on and debunk her as the voice of Arkansas would be sweet.

[cutlassmama]

14. he just came out in support of her. YUK!

[DonCoquixote]

16. ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Please supply the link so I can try not to vomit on it!

[pezDispenser]

3. Talk about spitting in the face of your base

but I guess she has been doing that for years. Glad to see she just came out and said it.

4. Blanche Lincoln answers to big business with deep pockets

and no one else... except for Blanche Lincoln

[Ed76638]

5. "Against the public option"

And in such nice, glowing letters too. Make no mistake about it. This ad isn't for her Senate run. This is her resume for when she turns tricks working directly on K Street.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

6. She may as well of gone "show me the money!, " erm. So, Lt. Gov Halter...

I'm sure constutuents want their money to go more than nowhere or if there isn't a saving on health costs and create jobs where will new streams of revenue come to pay deficits? There is a time to rein in deficits, now is the worst time. Besides it's not spending, it's investing.

7. I like at 00:15 where the kid TRIES to find her heart with a stethoscope

... unsuccessfully

[SemperEadem]

8. LET THEM EAT CAKE

That should be the phrase stuck to all who oppose the public option/single payer/insurance reform

[Plucketeer]

9. Little Rock

Hey! That describes her brain! :rofl:

[Renew Deal]

10. Funny thing is that my dollars answer to her Democratic opponent.

[rhett o rick]

11. Why arent the DU Blue Dogs in here supporting their queen. nt

[AlinPA]

12. That is a republican ad.

[LaPera]

13. We have to toss Blanche Lincoln out on her republican supporting ass

Donate - Bill Halter

[SemperEadem]

15. yesterday, I heard a number

that Halter has raised over 4 million dollars in 4 days after his announcement to run against her. That's what I'm talking about. If people want to think progressive isn't the direction the country wants to go in, let them go ahead and think that way... let their pride sink their ship.

17. Penny Wise, Pound Foolish

What an ignorant politician, but I repeat myself.

[GETPLANING]

18. Blanche wisely disabled ratings and comments

Because Arkansans would probably differ with the "I answer to Arkansas" nonsense.

"I answer to Big Coal and Big Insurance" is more like it.

19. Is that real money? If not, they didn't look legal.

What are the rules for the printing, publishing and illustration of U.S. currency?

The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550, in Section 411 of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, permits color illustrations of U.S. currency, provided:
1. The illustration is of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of the item illustrated
2. The illustration is one-sided and
3. All negatives, plates, positives, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices, and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof are destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use

Title 18, United States Code, Section 504 permits black and white reproductions of currency and other obligations, provided such reproductions meet the size requirement. See the section on this website entitled Know Your Money for more information.

20. Why are these people Democrats?

I've always wonder why people like Blanche Lincoln are Democrats, she doesn't believe in unions, she doesn't believe in taxing rich people or corporate income, she doesn't want single payer or the public option and the corporate interest loves her. If you act and vote like a Republican just change parties and support the Republican platform of protect the rich.
