Blanche Lincoln is trailing badly behind Congressman John Boozman, in large part because her right-leaning agenda has alienated her from the progressive portion of Arkansas Democratic voters. Her vote today against LGBT equality won’t help her with that problem.

Which Arkansas town had the best watermelon? Blanche Lincoln opposed quality to quantity.

39 members of the United States Senate chose to stand with Lisa Murkowski, in opposition to responsible efforts to slow climate change. These senators, chose to align themselves with the short-term corporate profits on the very day when NASA’s Goddard Institute reported that the last decade has been the warmest on record.

Democrats may have the majority of seats in the Senate, but the Republicans still appear to have the control. The Democratic-Republican distinction appears not to have anything near the meaning as the progressive-regressive split, and the progressives are clearly in the minority.

The signs declaring that projects in certain areas were funded through stimulus legislation usually include the name of a United States senator or member of the House of Representatives. These signs amount to a form of political campaigning, demonstrating that a member of Congress is able to bring money into constituents’ communities.

Many Democratic senators supported Sunstein even though progressives have expressed concern about Sunstein’s sort of approach to regulation for years.

The following are the United States Senators who voted for this betrayal of the Constitution. 20 of these 69 senators are Democrats. Without the Democrats helping out, the Republicans couldn’t have gotten the FISA Amendments Act passed. Which ones are the Republicans, and which ones are the Democrats? You figure it out. I can’t tell the difference.

That’s a total of eleven Democrats who voted against the simple progressive idea that the Bill of Rights means something, and the government shouldn’t have the ability to conduct searches and seizures against us without a search warrant. So, let’s do the math. In order to overcome the damage done by these Republican-leaning or Republican-enabling Democratic senators, we’d need to have yet another eleven genuine progressive Democratic senators.

The following four Democratic senators joined George W. Bush and the Senate Republicans to support the push for uncontrollable electronic spying against you by the government: Mary Landrieu, Mark Pryor, Ben Nelson and Blanche Lincoln. These four Democrats deserve to be turned out of office in shame by activists of their own party. They all have a disgraceful history of voting for right wing Republican interests, and against Democratic values over and over again.

Why did Arkansas Democrats Blanche Lincoln, Mark Pryor, Mike Ross and Vic Snyder vote to betray American liberty and pass the Republican Protect America Act? Were the Arkansas Democrats blackmailed? Was there a quid pro quo? Perhaps the Arkansas Democrats already involved in the spy program in some way, even before it was legalized. I don’t know. Help me understand how this could have happened.
