Rick Sanchez, one more of the idiots brought to you on CNN: "SANCHEZ: She's voting against everything that could possibly increase your taxes, and there is no mention in that ad of, "I support the president" or let's do health care reform. You know, I'm sorry, but I'm looking at that thing and I'm thinking, she's sounding more conservative than she is progressive or liberal or whatever you want to call it. So, you know, she has always portrayed herself as an independent Democrat." Independent of what, for God's sake? Certainly not independent of corporations, and certainly not independent of Republican cant. As far as I can tell, the only thing Blanche Lincoln is independent of is the interest of the American people. As I have said before, I certainly do not believe in a party-line ideological litmus test like the wingnuts enforce; enough is enough, however. This woman has no business holding elected office as a Democrat.

She's joined with a right wing Republican Senator to try to give the hyper-rich another big payday, by cutting estate taxes , one of the conservatives' favorite bogus issues: "The legislation pushed by Kyl and Lincoln, exempting $10 million per couple from taxation, would affect 3,030 taxpayers this year" That is one person out of 10,000 in the U. S. population, or one hundredth of one percent, which I am going to smugly point out is the percentage of the American people which I have always said the Republican party exists to serve. The other 9,999 of you? Well, you're just flat out of luck, buddy. And Blanche Lincoln is right in there with them. The Democrats don't need her, the Senate doesn't need her and the American people (okay, except for that one in 10,000) sure as hell don't need her. Blanche has an opponent in the primary, a real Democrat named Bill Halter. I sent him a little money, and maybe you could too. Here is his website. It'...

Blanche Lincoln yesterday: "Are we willing as Democrats to also push back on our own party and look for that common ground that we need to work with Republicans?" Lincoln asked." Blanche, you disingenuous idiot, how about worrying about pushing back on the Republicans to look for the common ground you need to work with your own party? Ever think of that one? Why not try that for once, and see if it gets you any further than the nowhere you have helped to create for the last year?
