Who is Senator Blanche Lincoln?

Republican Party of Arkansas: On Saturday, at a Democrat U.S. Senate debate held in Little Rock, Senator Blanche Lincoln was asked by a reporter if she thought her opponent Lt. Gov. Bill Halter was more liberal than she. Desperate to thieve a smidgen of left-wing credibility, the incumbent Senator responded by saying: “No. He’s just trying to get elected.”

Why, Senator Lincoln, aren’t you frantically trying to do the same – get elected? Nevertheless, the enigma that is Lincoln recently materialized when we discovered that she received nearly $1 million in contributions from Wall Street.

Hold the phone. Isn’t Lincoln the perceived pioneer Senator attempting to push for the regulation of the derivatives market as part of Congress’ questionable Financial Regulatory Bill, which seeks to create a $50 billion permanent bailout fund? Why yes she is. And isn’t it funny that part of that Wall Street money came from Goldman Sachs, the colossal yet criminal Wall Street bank?

But back to Halter. With the affection and support of labor unions and radical activist organizations like Moveon.org., Halter is a quintessential liberal puppet if we've ever seen one. Could Lincoln have made an erroneous statement when she declared she is as liberal as Halter? Perhaps so. What about when Lincoln said she was against the public option when Halter was for it…Was she secretly lying? And if she was lying, was it to get re-elected?

Back to money. We can’t hold Lincoln accountable for her Wall Street ties alone without mentioning her agenda buddy, President Barack Obama, who in 2008 received $994,795 from Goldman Sachs alone. This begs the question: Who is Senator Lincoln? Is she a closet centrist or a proud liberal? We many never know, nor want to.

However, we know what Senator Lincoln is not. She is not an honest representative of the people of Arkansas. She is not a decisive leader who listens to her constituents. And most importantly, she will not be a three term Senator.
Bye Bye Blanche.
Bye Bye Bill.
