Blanche Lincoln Files For Re-election… Tea Party Breaks Out (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 4:51 AM
Dozens of tea party protesters greeted unpopular Senator Blanche Lincoln (Democrat-Ark.) when she filed yesterday for re-election at the state capital.
This is footage of the first day of filing for candidacy in Arkansas. U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln was protested by dozens who were opposed to her voting record on several issues while she filed for her candidacy. About 1/2 dozen protesters/Lincoln’s staff were supporting Lincoln. Several other candidates and their supporters were present to file. I ask Lincoln if we should start over with healthcare reform, she gives a useless answer, so I ask her again. Then I ask her about Cap & Tax. When she gets questioned, Lincoln has a habit avoiding the heat by hugging buddies. The last bit of footage is from Blanche Lincoln doesn’t seem to care where she “avoid hugs” some guy named “Eddie”.
The Pulaski County Tea Party sent out a press release saying they planned to protest Sen. Blanche Lincoln when she filed for reelection on Monday. They met at the State Capitol building around noon. According the Sen. Lincoln, she planned to file around 1:30 in the capital rotunda.

Dear Jim Hoft:
Thank you, but these sentences as written are incoherent:
‘When she gets questioned, Lincoln has a habit avoiding the heat by hugging buddies. The last bit of footage is from Blanche Lincoln doesn’t seem to care where she “avoid hugs” some guy named “Eddie”.’
Best regards, Peter Warner.

Lots of nervous laughter on her part…shows she knows she is not going to win. She does not know what the people protesting stand for! She is history now, thank goodness!
Militant Conservative commented:
Heard the reason the crowd was so small.
Court house only allowed 50 TPM people inside the building. Crowd outside numbered over a thousand!
HUGE news, People are way beyond pissed off and massively energized. So much so my own wife wants to take a vacation day for the TPM rally in Atlanta on April 15th! I’ll be there. Might get a shirt made with my GP name. Come on ya’ll, LETS PAAAARRRTAY!!!!

Oh yeah. April 15 will be a big day for us Tea Partiers.
And November 2nd. Each Tea Party person who shows up represents thousands. Look at the voting in Massachusetts. That proves it.

Arrogant: She knows what (higher taxes, more regulations, the temps to cool/heat your houses, how many miles you can drive, how much money you need to live the way she thinks appropriate, etc.) is good for you!
Clueless!
John Gargano commented:
She did not give one straight answer. Sadly, her behavior is typical of the numerous politicians in America who have emptied our Treasury while simultaneously taking on levels of debt we can never pay off. They know full well they are creating financial problems at a greater rate than they are solving social problems. This can be seen from their ubiquitous denial about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Freddie Mac, Fanny Mae, etc, etc. Yet they go on because while they feather their own nests today, the problems they create are handed down to future generations.
Insincere bottom feeders like Blanche Lincoln continue to put forth social entitlement programs that never accomplish their stated objectives, but instead become nothing more than inefficient cesspools of government bureaucracy. These charlatans are seeking to grow their constituencies of those who are dependent upon the government, while hindering the productivity of those who produce the wealth that pays the taxes upon which our nation depends.
This is madness and the end result of their incompetent governance is a place called – California.

Can’t wait for November.
Pat the First commented:
I heard on one of the Fox programs last night that she is going to have a primary challenger because she isn’t left enough. There are 12 Republicans in the primary. She also has millions in her bank for the re-election battle. Her Dem opponent has the support of MoveOn.
This election should be very interesting.

BL is just going through the motions. She slit her political wrists by supporting obamacare. Her feigned confidence is pure comedy.
