THE QUESTION
By Kermit C. Moss

 

Mercy me, sakes alive, and carrot coffee!  As Shakespeare put it in Hamlet: 
To be or not to be, that is the question.  But here in Arkansas in the upcoming Democratic Party election it all evolves into another matter:  Bill Halter or Blanche Lincoln, that is the question!

 

Here are some points to ponder:

 

Along with Bill Clinton, Halter is a Rhodes Scholar and majored in
      economics while there at Oxford.   With the country still suffering from
      the greatest economic downturn since the great depression,  this is
      precisely the kind of training that is so badly needed!  Look at what
      Clinton  did.  Even with a GOP congress, he led us into a budget
      surplus!   
Now for a look at Blanche.  She has been up there for 12 years and
      during that time our economy has been swamped with bad news!
      Despite what she will say, it happened on her watch, and she did
      little, if anything, to stop it.  Along with the GOP she often sided
      with the insurance companies and other big-money campaign
      financing lobbyists!  A recent report by Public Citizen indicates
      that the CEO of Aetna, Inc. , over the last two years was paid
      $47,345,946.00,which comes to $64,857.46 per day!  And 8 other
      large insurance companies paid their CEOs at similar rates!

 

As mentioned before, Blanche has had her chance.  Why not retire her
and give the job to Halter, with the high IQ and training in
economics needed by a senator?
