Governors Of Arkansas Questions and Answers
Resolved Question: Can we dispel this myth about the racist “conservative” south once and for all?
I have heard so many times that the perceived racism in the southern states is because they are “red” states. But if you look at the states themselves, they are actually quite BLUE! Look at the states’ elected officials, the Democrats STILL run most of the south, just like they did in the 1960s: The Southern States: Arkansas – DEMOCRAT House, DEMOCRAT Senate, DEMOCRAT Governor North Carolina - DEMOCRAT House, DEMOCRAT Senate, DEMOCRAT Governor Louisiana - DEMOCRAT House, DEMOCRAT Senate, GOP Governor Mississippi - DEMOCRAT House, DEMOCRAT Senate, GOP Governor Alabama - DEMOCRAT House, DEMOCRAT Senate, GOP Governor Tennessee – GOP House, GOP Senate, DEMOCRAT Governor Georgia - GOP House, GOP Senate, GOP Governor South Carolina - GOP House, GOP Senate, GOP Governor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_state_legislatures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_United_States_governors Question: So why do people still claim the south is a bunch of Red states and blame the south's problems on its "redness" when most of the south votes themselves BLUE governments? @DOBBY That is part of the myth I'm talking about. The south was blue in the 1960s. Todays libs claim there was a party switch...yet the south is STILL BLUE, and famous senators like Robert Byrd, were Dems before the 1960s, and Dems after 2000. There simply is no evidence to support the myth of a party swap. Sure a few people switched parties, just like happened in the last couple of years. @"truth" Seeker so anecdotle evidence is more believable that actual numerical evidence. Sad that is your version of "truth seeking". @IRIS "Because they vote red" except for the part where I just showed you they vote BLUE more often than they vote red....<sigh> moreResolved Question: What will the liberals do when they lose the House in November to the tune of 80 seats according to a Democrat?
Dick Morris (born November 28, 1948) is an American political author and commentator who previously worked as a pollster, political campaign consultant, and general political consultant. A longtime friend and advisor to Bill Clinton during his time as Governor of Arkansas, Morris became a political adviser to the White House after Clinton was elected president in 1992. Morris encouraged Clinton to pursue third way policies of triangulation that combined traditional Republican and Democratic proposals, rhetoric, and issues to achieve maximum political gain and popularity. Dick Morris Predicts Democrats Will Lose 80 House Seats (video) Last night, Dick Morris told Greta Van Susteren Democrats will be “losing 80 seats” in this year’s Midterm Elections. That would be a new record. The old record is the 74 seats that Republicans lost in 1922. Let's hope he is right. http://www.bluegrasspundit.com/2010/08/dick-morris-predicts-democrats-will.html moreResolved Question: Georgia Residents: Will Deal or Handel win big today? Governor's race?
10 points for best answer by those voting today or earlier as Absentee -- posted at Travel section Do you believe the Republican primary is bell-wether today? Do those who support the winner in the statewide primary win as well? Please predict and analyze. . .thanks for your reply and posting from WASH POST Columnist - Chris Cilizza's column/buzz A new poll in Georgia shows former state Secretary of State Karen Handel (R) with a narrow lead over former Rep. Nathan Deal (R) ahead of tomorrow's gubernatorial primary runoff. Handel, who won with 34 percent to Deal's 23 percent in the July 20 primary, now leads Deal 47 percent to 42 percent in the new Mason-Dixon poll, which surveyed 625 likely Republican primary voters and had a margin of error of four percentage points. 11 percent of likely voters remain undecided -- and both campaigns are bringing in GOP luminaries in an effort to woo those voters in the closing days of the race. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), who endorsed Deal in the race last Thursday, has recorded robocalls for Deal and campaigned with him on Sunday. Deal "did not suddenly find his political voice for life to run for this office," Huckabee told about 800 supporters at an event in Gainesville. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), meanwhile, is hitting the Peach State today to stump for Handel. The two are slated to appear together at a noon event in Atlanta. In addition to the involvement of Huckabee and Palin, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is backing Deal, while former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) is lining up behind Handel. moreResolved Question: Elvis Presley is running for Gov of Arkansas. Isn't that just a little odd?

In short, LBJ was as racist, always was, always will be. He was Senate Majority Leader when President Eisenhower put forth a Civil Rights Bill and Voting Rights Bill and send in the 82nd Airborne to Little Rock to make the Democrat Governor comply with integrating the public schools. LBJ knew that the South could not keep blacks down forever and that should the Republicans be successful in pursuing the passage of Civil Rights and Voting Rights, Dems would lose the black vote forever. Again, in order to break the racist ways of Southern Democrats, it was Republican President Eisenhower who sponsored both Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act and it was LBJ lead Senate who fought tooth and nail against them. Ike finally signed a watered down Civil Rights Bill. Yes, let me repeat that, Republican President Dwight Eisenhower sponsored and signed the first Civil Rights Bill. Did you know that? "Civil rights became a critical concern during Eisenhower’s administration. In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, but the decision was not universally accepted. The people of the South resisted, and racial tensions mounted. In 1957 the governor of Arkansas ordered National Guard troops to prevent a group of African-American students from enrolling at an all-white high school in Little Rock. Eisenhower was forced to send federal troops to escort the new students to school. Eisenhower also proposed and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which was intended to guarantee the voting rights of all African Americans. This was the first civil rights legislation to pass since Reconstruction. It was followed by the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which was an attempt to further strengthen voting rights by mandating federal inspection of local voter registration polls." Heres a nice LBJ quote -------"I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years." -- Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One Ronald Kessler's "Inside The White House"-----------[his words not mine] moreResolved Question: Does Jim Keet stand a chance against governor Mike Beebe in the Arkansas governors race?
Since AR is pretty much a red state now, one of the few states McCain did really well in. Is Beebe very popular? The AR senate seat apperars to be a GOP pickup with Boozman beating Lincoln, could the wave sweep Beebe out of office? moreResolved Question: Why do the majority of blacks support the Democratic Party?
Democrats fought against anti-lynching laws. Democrat Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, is well known for having been in the Ku Klux Klan. Democrat Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, personally filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for 14 straight hours to keep it from passage. Democrats passed the Repeal Act of 1894 that overturned civil right laws enacted by Republicans. Democrats declared that they would rather vote for a yellow dog than vote for a Republican, because the Republican Party was known as the party for blacks. Democrat President Woodrow Wilson, reintroduced segregation throughout the federal government immediately upon taking office in 1913. Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelts first appointment to the Supreme Court was a life member of the Ku Klux Klan, Sen. Hugo Black, Democrat of Alabama. Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt's choice for vice president in 1944 was Harry Truman, who had joined the Ku Klux Klan in Kansas City in 1922. Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt resisted Republican efforts to pass a federal law against lynching. Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt opposed integration of the armed forces. Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr. and Robert Byrd were the chief opponents of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Democrats supported and backed Judge John Ferguson in the case of Plessy v Ferguson. Democrats supported the School Board of Topeka Kansas in the case of Brown v The Board of Education of Topeka Kansas. Democrat public safety commissioner Eugene Bull Connor, in Birmingham, Ala., unleashed vicious dogs and turned fire hoses on black civil rights demonstrators. Democrats were who Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the other protesters were fighting. Democrat Georgia Governor Lester Maddox brandished an ax hammer to prevent blacks from patronizing his restaurant. Democrat Governor George Wallace stood in front of the Alabama schoolhouse in 1963, declaring there would be segregation forever. Democrat Arkansas Governor Faubus tried to prevent desegregation of Little Rock public schools. Democrat Senator John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil rights Act. Democrat President John F. Kennedy opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King. Democrat President John F. Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI. Democrat President Bill Clinton's mentor was U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright, an Arkansas Democrat and a supporter of racial segregation. Democrat President Bill Clinton interned for J. William Fulbright in 1966-67. Democrat Senator J. William Fulbright signed the Southern Manifesto opposing the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision. Democrat Senator J. William Fulbright joined with the Dixiecrats in filibustering the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964. Democrat Senator J. William Fulbright voted against the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Southern Democrats opposed desegregation and integration. Democrat Senator 1964 Senator Al Gore Sr. votes against Civil Rights Act. Explicit Democrat support given to the causes of the Jim Crow laws. The era of Jim Crow laws was governed by southern Democrats like Alabama governor George Wallace and Mississippi senator Jim Eastland. With all this history, it would seem that they would be inclined to favor the Republican Party. moreResolved Question: 2012 Republican Presidential Nominees?
The Following is Wikipedia's list of Speculated Candidates Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi Former Governor Jeb Bush of Florida House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana Former Speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingrich of Georgia Former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas United States Ambassador to China and former Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. of Utah Former Governor Gary E. Johnson of New Mexico Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia Former Governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin of Alaska Former Governor George Pataki of New York Representative Ron Paul of Texas Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota Representative Mike Pence of Indiana Former Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts Former Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives Marco Rubio of Florida Former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania Senator John Thune of South Dakota A few who have confirmed not running are Senator John McCain, General David Petraeus, Governor Bobby Jindal, Former VP Dick Cheney. -------- My favorites from the speculated list are Tim Pawlenty, Ron Paul, and Jeb Bush. I really would have liked McCain to run again, he really is a good man who has been serving America all his life. Im not sure on his reasoning, my first thought was retirement, but he is running for Arizona's 2010 Senate Seat, which is a term which will end in 2014. I would also love to see General Petraeus launch a Political Career. He is definetly busy for a while now that he has been appointed to be replacing McChrystal in Afghanistan. I do NOT want Sarah Palin to be running. She is just plain inexperienced, and shaky on a few issues and struggles with earmarks. I think selecting Palin as a running mate over Pawlenty was a big mistake. Also I wouldn't like to see Cheney as a President. Although he is very strong on international issues, and especially as a Secretary of Defense. He is a powerful man, but the I think he would be better to stay out of the White House. Too many people see him as a dirtbag, and sometimes I get that sense too. Ron Paul is great because he is one of the most consistant voters ever. He defends the constitution, far better than any other current politician. He is also a big advocate of shrinking the Federal Government. Although he seems a little close-minded on a few moral issues, that is irrelevent because of his great voting record and straightforward, honest intentions. I also think that Jeb would do a good job. His stances on issues are solid and are something I can agree with. But we will have to wait and see if the public's Bush-Hating fest is over by 2012. It is definetly declining, as Bush-Hate is changing into Obama-Hate, and people are realizing that Bush did not really screw us over, especially not on a scale like the current President has. Tim Pawlenty will cut spending. He will probably be able to make some huge changes in the tax system, especially since there would most likely be a Republican Congress in 2012. In Minnesota he was able to keep balence the deficit in one year. I also think that he will make reasonable steps in alternative fuel. Not anything like the some of the enviro-wako's proposals that would effectivly hurt the fragile economy. I also prefer him over other similar governers because he is just more well-known. I really dont like the idea of the Leader of our Country being virtually unknown before the primaries. ------- Those are some of my thoughts. What are yours? moreResolved Question: How would I go about writing a letter to my state government about marijuana?
I'm going to write a letter to the Arkansas state government concerning the reformation of marijuana laws in the state. I plan on writing the governor and our senators. I know one person won't get far but I'm going to ask the Arkansas NORML to help out too. Should I type it, email it, or handwrite it? The main issues I want to address are the health aspects(and how marijuana use compares to that of tobacco and alcohol), the potential for legalization to help the state economy through taxation, and disproving some of the myths associated with it. I don't want it to sound too much like an essay but I want to sound logical and reasonable. So, how should I write it, how should I send it, and any tips you have for this paper would be amazing<3 thanks(: moreVoting Question: Why did it take an Executive Order to desegregate Central High School?
In 1957, Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas called the national guard to prevent the desegregation of Central High School. He and other Southern leaders mistook President Eisenhower's silence regarding the decision of Brown v. Board of Education as support of the cause. After 270 armed troops turned back 9 young African American students, a federal judge ordered the guards removed. The next day 500 white students surrounded the building in their stead. Eisenhower, sent in 1000 paratroopers under the Executive order 10730 to uphold the federal constitution. moreResolved Question: With NV,AR,DE,IN,ND,PA Dem Senate seats leaning GOP and CA,CO,IL tossups will the Republicans take the Senate?
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latestpolls/latest_election_polls.html keeps track of multiple polling on a daily basis and put Senate seats in different categories based on the polls and not just the last poll but an average of them. The Republicans now lead in the following Democrat held Senate seats: Arkansas - Lincoln, Delaware - Biden's old seat, Indiana - retirement, North Dakota, Nevada - Senate Majority Leader Reid's seat, and now Pennsylvania where Spector is 10 points behind Republican Challenger Toomey. That's 6 seats leaning Republican. In the Toss up category the Democrats have another 3 - Colorado, Illinois - Obama's old seat, and California's Senator Boxer finds herself unable to shake her likely Republican opponent. Polls show Boxer up by 2 and down by 2 to Campbell and Fiorina in recent polls. That is 9 Democrat seats 6 leaning Republican and 3 toss ups. For the GOP to take the majority they need 51 Senators a 10 seat pickup. 9 would make a 50/50 tie which would be broken by VP Biden. That is where New York, Wisconsin, and Washington State come in. NY & WI former Republican Governors out poll the Democrats if they choose to run. In Washington State Dino Rossi lost in the Governor race by 8 votes after a recount was done when he was in the lead. If he chooses to run he does out poll the sitting Democrat senator Murray. Dick Morris - former Clinton adviser - former Democrat - has his predictions out based on substantial research. He puts the Senate in Republican hands with a 11 seat pickup on election day. He goes on to predict the House will also go Republican with a 60+ seat pickup out doing the 54 in 94 during the Republican Revolution. I know some of you Democrats out there are going to have a hard time seeing things, but contrary to what Obama & the Democrats have said there was no rebound in the polls for them after passing Healthcare, but rather more deeply entrenched the ill feelings by the majority of Americans who oppose the Healthcare Bill and a majority want to see the bill repealed. My question is - Looking at the polls and the anger at the democrats from those opposed to the dictatorial governing style of the we won Democrats - Will the Republicans take the majorities in both House and Senate and by how much? moreResolved Question: Is the crime rate higher in liberal or conservatives states?
Go figure, but the University of Minnesota Center for the Study of Politics and Governance (University of Minnesota’s Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs) did some number crunching based on the Uniform Crime Reports 2008 from FBI. The average violent crime rate (murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault) in 2008 for the 28 states that voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential election was 389 incidents per 100,000 residents. The average violent crime rate for the 22 states that voted for John McCain was 412 incidents per 100,000 residents - or a 5.8 percent higher incidence of violent crime. For example, 2 of the top 3 states with the highest violent crime rates in the nation in 2008 voted for McCain: South Carolina (#1) and Tennessee (#3). (Nevada was #2). The difference was even more pronounced for property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft). Obama states had an average property crime rate of 2,989 incidents per 100,000 residents, with McCain states averaging a rate of 3,228 - or an 8.0 percent higher incidence of property crime. Eight of the top 11 states with the highest property crime rates voted for McCain: Arizona (#1), South Carolina (#2), Alabama (#4), Tennessee (#6), Georgia (#7), Texas (#8), Arkansas (#10), and Louisiana (#11). These crime rate findings hold despite the fact that blue states have a higher population of residents in urban areas, which tend to have higher crime rates than rural areas. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2000 Census of Population and Housing, Population and Housing Unit Counts, the average statewide percentage of residents living in urban areas in the Obama states was 78.0 percent, compared to a statewide average of just 64.6 percent in the McCain states. The red state/blue state crime data split also holds true across other measures of statewide partisan groupings. For example, a Smart Politics analysis of partisan control of state legislatures finds the 27 states with Democratic-controlled legislatures with an average violent crime rate of 390 incidents per 100,000 residents. The average violent crime rate for the 14 states with Republican-controlled legislatures was 11.1 percent higher, at 433 incidents per 100,000 residents. (The rate was lowest among eight states with split partisan control - at 382). There was also a double-digit percentage difference for property crime rates among the states with Democratic and Republican controlled legislatures. For Democratic-controlled states, the property crime rate was 3,044 incidents per 100,000 residents compared to 3,351 incidents per 100,000 residents for Republican-controlled states - or a 10.1 percent higher rate under GOP legislative control. The differences in the rate of violent and property crimes between states along partisan lines by control of the governor's office were less stark, but still pointed in the same direction. The 22 states with Republican governors had a 0.4 percent higher violent crime rate in 2008 (400 incidents per 100,000 residents) than the 28 states with Democratic governors (398) as well as a 6.0 percent higher property crime rate (3,196 for GOP states and 3,014 for Democratic states). moreResolved Question: Does anyone know when Arkansas Governor's school sends out the letters of acceptance?

Currently the Republicans need 10 Senate seat pick up to gain control of the majority in the U.S. Senate. That is huge and something dismissed up and until the number needed to be picked up went from 11 to 10 with the election of Scott Brown (MA-R). An astounding 8 Seats are already in easy reach. Those are the seats in North Dakota, Arkansas, Indiana, Nevada, Delaware, Colorado, Illinois, Pennsylvania. Of the other 10 Democrat seats up for election you have several which are also endanger which one would think should not. In Washington State Republicans lead now in polls. California Boxer can't break 50% and has GOP nipping close behind. New York Gillibrand is soft in polls and former Republican Governor Pataki is eying a run.

Rick Perry gave illegal aliens in state tuition in Texas colleges but US Citizen students from Oklahoma or Arkansas don't qualify and must pay more. Kay Baily Hutchison is pro-choice and doesn't know who the first governor of Texas was.

Why do "Conservatives" let killers loose in America ? Republican Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas Governor, pardoned Maurice Clemmons, who Sunday gunned down four Lakewood, Washington, police officers. But the Arkansas prosecutor who put Clemmons behind bars told CNN on Tuesday that Huckabee was issuing clemency at "an astounding rate" during his tenure as governor.

And remember, they have the word "Family" in their name, so you know they're real stand-up people. FACT. "If a public servant cannot be trusted with this most basic of all moral responsibilities, how can he be trusted with any other? We were rightly outraged when President Clinton issued an irresponsible pardon for fraudster financier Marc Rich. But at least nobody died. The governor has tried to wash his hands of the affair by posting a statement on his website blaming it all on "a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State," as if he had little or nothing to do with it. It appears that Governor Huckabee could not be trusted with the power of the pardon as governor. Perhaps he should not be trusted with the power of the pardon as president." http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/afa-turns-huckabee moreResolved Question: Why did Mike Huckabee allow Maurice Clemmen's to be released from prison only to KILL 4 cops?
Clemmen's was sentenced to 100 years in prison when he was 16. Huckabee granted him clemency when he was Gov. of Arkansas. As you know Clemmen's killed four cops execution style in a coffee shop for no reason whatsoever. If Huckabee hadn't released him those people would still be alive. Still with their family... Why is Huckabee so soft on crime and weak that he let dangerous criminals free? It is also reported that when Huckabee was Gov. he granted TWICE as much clemency as the 2 governors before him. http://www.latimes.com/news/nation-and-world/la-na-huckabee1-2009dec01,0,6987.story http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/01/us/politics/01huckabee.html Are all republicans so soft on cime?

Good ol' Huck changed that. moreResolved Question: Is Mike Huckabee's political career effectively over after the shooting of 4 Seattle police officers?
As way of background, the man who allegedly shot the four officers to death was imprisoned in Arkansas for many years, but was granted "clemency" by Mike Huckabee while he was still governor. For those of you who are too young to remember, the Bush campaign ran several ads attacking Michael Dukakis for Massachusetts' "weekend furlough" program, in which prisoners were able to leave jail for the weekends under certain circumstances. One prisoner, Willie Horton, ended up killing someone while out on a weekend furlough. The "Willie Horton" ads were arguably the fatal blow to the Dukakis campaign. With that in mind, is Huckabee's political career effectively over after what happened in Washington state? moreResolved Question: Is Mike Huckabee going to take responsibility for his actions?
Mike Huckabee, who as Arkansas governor commuted the sentence of the man suspected of killing four Lakewood Police officers, said Monday night his "heart is broken" but insisted that prosecutors and judges were derelict in keeping Maurice Clemmons from returning to prison. From an interview on Fox News. What are the odds that they went easy on him during the interview? Read the article to find out. http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/archives/186761.asp moreResolved Question: Does Mike Huckabee have blood on his hands, at least six times over?
Suspected murderer of four police officers, Maurice Clemmons, was released from a 95-year prison term by then governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, former presidential candidate, who commuted this sentence. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5if_tdQrE5B6tvgSYXBtfmfMOLEwwD9CA5QKG0 In addition to Clemmons' release, Huckabee "had a hand pardoning or commuting many more prisoners than his three immediate predecessors combined," according to an AP correspondent. And for this reason, at least two other murders are tied to the Huckabee governorship. Whether or not you believe the "5% who commit 95% of crimes" should stay in prison for their full sentences, does Mike Huckabee have blood on his hands? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/29/multiple-police-officers-_n_373119.html "Christine K" - I think it IS his presidential prospect's "cyanide capsule."
