thinking. It’s just
Pundits sometimes refer to Arkansas as one of the 'reddest' states, but the socalled conservative American Enterprise Institute and libertarian Cato Institute think-tanks rate the voting records of the Arkansas delegation to the U.S. Congress as abysmal. While all six federal officeholders are Republican, each just votes 'not D.' In the most consequential vote in the 2021 congressional session, 1st District Rep. Rick Crawford was the only member of the Arkansas delegation to vote in support of the 'free and fair elections' on Jan. 6, 2021.
The other five, including possible 2024 presidential candidate Tom Cotton, failed to support and defend the electoral process for the presidential election. Now a Trump puppet is in line to be our next governor. Can we please get the GOP back to reality and out of Trump World?
[ Editor’s Note: I think Florida is trying to win the “ 2022 Reddest State” awarrd, but I see what you’re saying. It’s not that I don’t see any value in conservative
that it’s very hard to hear what some Republicans say and then say, “ I with those guys.” Sure, all six of Arkansas’s representatives and senators Republican, all seven elected state executive offices ( governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, treasurer, auditor and commissioner of state lands are Republican ( as are the majority in the state house and state senate), but as “ red” is Arkansas is, these individuals should be wary of exclusively catering to members of that party — in other words, don’t completely ignore roughly half the population. That is the exact thing that is wrong with our current political climate. Your desired way of doing things is unproductive, uncooperative and frankly, un- American.
While you say, “ Crawford was the only member of the Arkansas delegation to vote in support of the ‘ free and fair elections,’ it’s clear there are two bitterly divided parties, both doing their share of harm right now.
Everything isn’t “ red or blue” and those that think it is are the problem not the solution]
