DINO’s
May 10, 2008 by Rett Hatcher
Brilliant Insight… My feeling is that we as a party have to make the Democrats be either true Liberals or switch parties…
The overwhelming Democratic control of the state Legislature is a nominal and tenuous thing. It’s a DINO thing, meaning Democrats in name only.
The fact is that many rural Democratic legislators think more like national Republicans than national Democrats. I’d venture that John McCain will get more votes in November than Barack Obama from Democratic state legislators.
If you start hammering these rural Democrats for acting like Republicans, then they might just get their backs up and go ahead and become Republicans. The state Republican Party, otherwise inept, might be able to grow only by just such a method.
If Democrats want to continue dominating Arkansas, at least by the numbers, then they need to avoid being or appearing dominant, if you know what I mean.
In this case, using it might mean losing it.
