DPA Calls Arkansas Republican Legislators a Partisan Cult - RPA Responds
When discussing Republican Michael Lamoureux’s State Senate win, Democrat Party of Arkansas Executive Director Mariah Hatta let her leftist attitude show by having the audacity to call Republican Legislators a partisan ‘cult’ who want to see Little Rock be more like Washington.
Ms. Hatta was using a move from the Democrat leftest playbook - "accuse the opponents of the very thing you are or you are doing." Most Arkansans clearly know that it is not the minority Arkansas State legislators that are trying to make Little Rock look like Washington. It is the Arkansas Majority Democrats Party and its liberal left Democratic leadership in Washington that is bankrupting the futures of our children.
Hatta is a leftist who moved to the state in 1992 to work on Bill Clinton's campaign. We all know Bill, hum! From an article "Born Left" we learn that "Following Clinton's inauguration in 1993, Hatta [followed Bill Clinton to Washington, D.C. and] worked at the office of the U.S. Agency for International Development, . . . in the press office and scheduling. She also worked for the Department of Treasury in scheduling and on the Clinton re-election campaign of 1996.
In 2000, Hatta moved from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles to work at Democratic National Convention, and stayed in Los Angeles working on several elections. . . . Hatta . . . found herself back in Little Rock, working on retired Gen. Wesley Clark's 2004 losing presidential campaign. Following Clark's decision to drop out of the race, Hatta remained in Little Rock, working for [you guessed it] the William J. Clinton Foundation and then for Attorney General Beebe's campaign for governor in 2006." With Beebe's help, she got a job with the Democratic Party, and in July, she became the executive director. Must be frustrating for Ms. Hatta missing out on being close to the "cult of Obama" in Washington. It is interesting that in a State identified predominately as Democrat, the DPA could not find a liberal enough Arkansan to be the DPA Executive Director.
In fairness, the Democratic Party of Arkansas could have been pressured by either "good old" Bill or the the incumbency of Obama administration which could not trust the DPA to have an Arkansan again as executive director. But then again, Obama was defeated by 20% (59% to 39%) in Arkansas. A similar problem occurred with the Bush Administration (won 54.3 to 44.5) which influenced the Republican Party of Arkansas to hire as executive director from outside of Arkansas.
Fortunately the Republican Party has right sided itself and has conservative Arkansans as their Chair and Executive Director. Chase Dugger, RPA Executive Directo,r released the following responses by RPA Chairman Doyle Webb and House Republican Leader Bryan King to Ms. Hatta's "cult" remark:
Representative King: “I guess if you don’t agree with President Obama and Governor Beebe then you get labeled as being part of some crazy cult. I would say partisanship includes things like trying to dissolve the Electoral College so that the average Arkansans vote no longer matters. Something the Democrat members of the House tried to accomplish.”
Chairman Webb: “The people of Arkansas deserve competitive ideas. For too long now one party rule and the Democrat Party has allowed our state to be ranked 48th, 49th, and 50th in almost every aspect. Our Republican Legislators are believers in lower taxes, transparent and limited government, traditional values, and personal freedoms. If those values are challenged by the Democrat Majority in the legislature, they have a right to stand up and defend them.”
“Ironically most Arkansans agree with these conservative views. The Republican Party is the Party that represents the views and values of everyday Arkansans. Ms. Hatta has effectively called a majority of our great State a cult. Surely this liberal opinion isn’t that of most Democrats? I call on Chairman Turner and Governor Beebe to ask her to retract this statement.”

Bill,
It never ceased to amazed me how far the Arkansas Democratic Party has become disconnected from the mainstream principals and ethics upon which it was founded,
Second, if any party has lost it's way, it is the Democrats, they are the ones forwarding a fanatic cultist regime, they are following the play book of the likes of Saul Alinsky, Marx and Lenin, with almost exact quotes of rhetoric directly out of the teachings of Saul Alinsky, the book of Mein Kampf, and the leadership of Lenin with the masses of this country not realizing the seriousness of ridding ourselves of this cancer on the face of our personal freedoms. Don't get me wrong, there are patriotic minded Democrats who are more "mainline" but the leadership of the Party as a whole, not just in Arkansas, is so far leaning to this ideology, it should cause alarm amongst those of us whom are enlightened to this way of thought. We even have some legislatures who under the guise of being Republican, personally hold this same ideology, all one needs to do is to investigate their voting record.
Being a daughter of Arkansas, a fourth generation Arkansawyer, the child of a "Yella Dog" Democratic political family, a Vietnam Era Veteran& former military wife, I am appalled at the present attitude of the Democratic Party in Arkansas. The Party should take heed since the controlling mainline rhetoric does not represent the average Arkansan or American Citizen.
Most Arkansawyers, are hard working, conservative minded, fiscally responsible, religious grounded, gun owning or a supporter of and fiercely freedom loving that will bite back in short order when these freedoms are challenged, we will show our anger and ethic values with the upcoming election in 2010.

A Democratic party carpetbagger, now that a twist. I'm not current on Arkansas politics, so won't comment on her personally. Seemed like they all have read the same book however.
