    Two Arkansas representatives get a thumbs-up from mrmitchell

    Honorary mention (1), Mike Ross, (D South AR) represents my own 4th District, for some good statements:

    First off, a quote I can't find about the religious right that earned him a fiery editorial in the Dem Gazette

    and the following
    "I'd rather be in the minority the rest of my life than sell my convictions down the river," said Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark.
    about how scalawags of less manly states like Alabama are joining the Republicans.

    Honorary mention (2), for Vic Snyder (D Little Rock), for voting against the estate tax elimination, ANWR drilling, and the bankruptcy bill--a threepeat of solid voting that almost makes me wish he represented District 4.

    Mike Ross
    Vic Snyder

    Feel free to jack this thread to add your own "pat on the back" for your representatives. As much as they get complained about, they need recognition when they do something good.

    EDIT: Mark Pryor, Democratic Senator from Arkansas, made the remarks about the religious right. No wonder I couldn't find anything about it.

      Mel Martinez for handing a Democratic Senator a sheet stating what he believed, and then saying he'd never read it and blaming and aide. It was the infamous GOP talking points on Terri Schiavo. Alright Mel, embarresing Florida and the GOP all in one go!
      Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

              One good idiot deserves another. I wish they'd touch one another and explode into nothingness.

                    They'd take out a few city blocks in the ensuing explosion. We're playing with fire just letting them be that close.

                      "I'd rather be in the minority the rest of my life than sell my convictions down the river," said Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark.
                      In other words, he knows he's going to be in the minority for the rest of his life.
                      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                        You guys still haven't told me why you specifically dislike her.

                        Did Rush Limbaugh tell you to dislike her?

                          No, I can't stand Limbaugh and have only seen / heard about two of his shows. No Babs comes by my scorn honestly through her own actions as leader of the Wack Caucus. She's stupid, partisan and disingenuous.

                            I have no idea about the subject material in this thread, but something did deserve a comment.

                            "I'd rather be in the minority the rest of my life than sell my convictions down the river," said Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark.

                            Do americans actually believe politicians who make statements like this during an election campaign?

                              Then there's that old joke -

                              How can you tell when a politician is lying?
                              His lips are moving.
