Blanche Lincoln (D-AR)
Let the debate on the Senate floor begin.

[Sebastian Doyle]

1. "Won't Allow Liberals Dictate My Decision"

So in other words, she won't allow Democrats to convince her to vote as a Democrat, which is why she was fucking elected, by Democrats?

Can we finally drop any pretense that this treasonous DLC pieces of shit are on our side?

[Salviati]

3. She also won't let liberals dictate that she represent the will of her constituants

Who support a public option by a nearly 20 point margin.

8. Aren't her constituents lined up right now for free health care?

Blanche makes me ill.

[msongs]

2. walmart's &%#@#@ looking out for corporations, not her unemployed constituents nt

[Hulk]

4. She spoke some important and honest words....

...but I'm not persuaded for a minute that this senator is anything more than what she has been for the past several months.

Good, that she will support opening debate. Whether or not she will support health care reform or just play more of her crooked game is left to be seen.

I wouldn't buy a used car from this woman.

13. Then hopefully she will allow her fellow senators the chance to vote on the final bill also

[vaberella]

5. I'm done with her...Vote her out. n/t

[Krashkopf]

6. Demand an UP OR DOWN vote on Health Care Reform and the Public Option!

[JDPriestly]

7. Pragmatic. Funny that she used that word. My husband

and I were just joking that "pragmatic" almost always means "corrupt." "Pragmatic" is a code word and synonym for "corrupt."

[fascisthunter]

9. You mean you won't Represent Your Constituents

and that liberals do represent your constituents more than you do.

You and other conservative democrats are convincing America that they are more "liberal" than they had once realized, because issues like this for the average American hare much more important than ideology, yet according to your statement, this issue is purely ideological. Now that you have drawn that line in the sand, your constituents will now know where you stand as a representative. Enjoy the blowback, sucka!

10. Blanch Lincoln (Dino - Insurance Companies)

I saw that ambitious young Lt Governor on tv a couple of nights ago. I would bet if Mrs. Lincoln sells the Dems down the river he could beat her in a primary.

[Nyquil Man]

12. Halter?

I heard rumors about his challenging Mark Pryor last year, but nothing ever came of it.

11. Comments are being freeped

~or Blanche's office is attempting to defend her.
