Dick Morris says Sen. Blanche Lincoln is in trouble . . .
Dick Morris was in Arkansas yesterday speaking at the American for Prosperity "hands of our health care rallies in Little Rock at State Capitol and later in Conway and Hot Springs Village. Morris was the former political adviser to both President and former AR Gov Bill Clinton (D) and 2008 GOP& presidential candidate and former AR Gov Republican Mike Huckabee (R). He now is seen regularly on Fox News as a political analyst. He has authored many books and articles popular with middle America.
Speaking to the rally, Morris chided Senator Blanche Lincoln for her liberal votes and ties to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama. The attendees booed when the names of Reid, Pelosi and Obama were mentioned. Morris related that Sen. Lincoln is in political trouble over the health care issue and citing a recent poll showing the two-term Senator and Former Congresswoman is barely leading lesser-known seven announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates. Morris believes that Lincoln will fall even farther in the polls if she votes for Reid's or Pelosi's health care bills.
According to the Arkansas News Service, Dick Morris was interviewed by Rob Moritz and Morris identified that "Sen. Blanche Lincoln and other congressional Democrats in Arkansas will have difficulty getting re-elected next year because they will have a hard time separating themselves from the national Democratic agenda."
Morris also told the Arkansas News Bureau that “Until now, voters could fool themselves and tell themselves that (they can vote) for Democrats locally and Republicans nationally. Now people are learning that if you’re a Democrat it’s an automatic vote for a certain position and you can’t ever change that, and I think that’s creating a sense that is really imperiling to the so-called moderate Democrat.”

Saturday’s vote is another opportunity for Sen. Lincoln to pay back her liberal leaders in Washington for her committee chairmanship and the attack ads of the DSCC. According to NBC this morning, she has already told Sen. Reid how she will vote, and he is proceeding toward Saturday. Why has she not told us? We must not allow her to vote for her interests ahead of the people of Arkansas.
Call her Senate and campaign offices, forward my press release to her staff, email or FAX – I call on every Arkansan to use every communications means available to tell Sen. Lincoln we don’t want this bill to move closer to passage.
According to the Congressional Research Service, 97.6% of the bills which pass the motion to proceed eventually pass the Senate. This is not just a procedural vote. It is a vote which virtually guarantees final passage of a bill which will force Americans to purchase public insurance under the threat of fines and jail time, increase taxes on individual health insurance and allow for the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions.
As your United State Senator, I would vote against Saturday’s motion to proceed, send this 2,000-page bill to the compost heap and begin work on a new bill which truly reforms health care while reflecting the conservative values of the people of Arkansas.
