Reply #65: How do you explain the active White House support...

[bvar22]

...for the election of Conservative Blue Dogs in 2010?
...and their cold shoulder to Liberal Democrats who needed help? :shrug:

The White House enthusiastically endorsed and supported Conservative Blanche Lincoln in the Arkansas Democratic Primnary 2010.
Conservative Anti-LABOR Blanche Lincoln had actually crowed about derailing the Public Option and obstructing the "Obama Agenda".
She was opposed by a very popular Democrat, Lt Gov. Bill Halter, who was Pro-HealthCare/Pro-LABOR and had the support of Organized LABOR and the Grassroots.
Halter was also polling better than Lincoln in the General.

..and, yet, the White House gave Anti-LABOR, Anti-HealthCare Lincoln full support and directed funds from the DSCC to her support.
The White House even sent Bill Clinton back to Arkansas to rescue her failing campaign.
Adding insult to injury, a "White House Spokesperson" ridiculed LABOR for "wasting 10 Million Dollars"
supporting a Pro-LABOR challenger.

I'm a Pro-LABOR Grassroots LBJ/FDR "Democrat" who lives in Arkansas,
and worked in 2010 to give Obama more Liberal democrats to work with.
Imagine how I felt when I realized I was having to fight the White House to do so.


This Anti-Liberal White House behavior was repeated across the board in 2010.
How do you explain this if "All we have to do is give him more Liberals"? :shrug:



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
