AR-Sen: Lincoln reaction: Punch the hippies

by kos

Blanche Lincoln responds to Halter's candidacy:

“I’m excited about today and I’m excited to be an Arkansas Democrat. I’ll file for re-election and continue fighting for Arkansas every day here at home and in the United States Senate. I know that I am the target of both political extremes but that’s what makes this campaign so important to all of us. This Senate seat belongs to Arkansas, not to outside groups that are angry I don’t answer to them.”

Yup. Extremists like the League of Conservation Voters. Extremists like the Democratic Party (and the Obama Administration).

1. She is a DINO. Guess she'll form a :Arkansas for Blanche Lincoln Party" next

and join her buddy Lieberman.

2. Hey Blanche....

[Teaser]

3. no one likes you Blanche

[belpejic]

4. Keep embracing the myth of the mushy middle, Blanche.

And don't let the door hit your ass on the way out...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

5. She still doesn't get it!

[lib2DaBone]

6. .. a total corporate whore...

[quiet.american]

7. Can't stand her. She's either always whining or taking aim at her own party. nt

[NV Whino]

8. I usually try to reply with more than a smilie, but words fail

:rofl:

9. Positioning herself as the centrist among "extremes" is her only chance

Is it an open primary in Arkansas? (i.e., If AK voters are largely uninformed, agnostic, or Faux watchers... she might just prevail)

10. Yes, indeed, both extremes: the GOP, and most of the Dem Party.

Blanche blanches when she encounters momentum from moderate and liberal Dems.

[Jennicut]

No, you are a Republican pretending to be a Dem. Where has she sided with the Dems on much of

anything?

[FlyByNight]

11. Lincoln serves no purpose except her own

She's precisely what's wrong regarding Beltway received opinion playing to the mythical, "common sense" Center.

She's a total corporate whore and vulgar narcissist. I hope her primary challenger is successful.

12. Good ..

Don't let the doorknob hit you...Another republicon who thinks she can vote for republiCON bullshit and that we shouldn't do anything about it.

[olegramps]

13. What can you expect from a NINO whore.

[Arkana]

16. "NINO"?

Don't you mean "DINO"?

[avaistheone1]

14. Extremists like voters who want single-payer -

that would be 65% of us.


Bye,bye Blanche.

[BlueIdaho]

15. She is a dead woman walking - we need a viable candidate. eos.

[Phx_Dem]

17. And everyone in the middle too. Face it Blanche, no one likes you.
