      Yeah he was ousted for voting against the health care bill instead of his inappropriate behavior?
      
      Health care bills passed both the House and Senate.  Likewise, his vote was not needed.
      
      The Democrat leadership want "ethical" individuals to represent the party to help win back the people's trust in government officials.
      
      His actions are quite embarrassing.

            That's his problem. I guess his inappropriate actions or desires were more important than voting against the fixer health-care bill.

               They will need to use reconciliation to pass the fixer health-care bill to make changes to the Senate health-care bill by removing Senator Nelson's Medicaid provision for Nebraska, adding the few, good GOP provisions, and so on.

                           That's why the House Republicans should also vote for the fixer bill so we can input their few good provisions into it for the benefit of all Americans and remove the bad Nebraska Medicaid provision.
                           
                           They should do the right thing by putting their country before the Republican party, like Joseph Cao did previously.

                                 This is what the Americans who voted for Obama wanted. Both bills passed without reconciliation or ramming health-care through.
                                 
                                 If the Republicans want to fight the reconciliation fixer bill, then they will just have to live with the Senate health-care bill as is once it passes the House.

                                       We want to make the necessary compromises that both the Senate and House Democrats and maybe the few Republicans who vote for this measure can live with.
                                       
                                       Also we want to add the few, good GOP provisions that are not in the current Senate bill to show Americans that we considered the best ideas from both parties.

                                       Most laws in Arkansas are influenced by the Christian Family Council and people's religious belief.

                                          Did Arkansas vote for Obama or McCain in 2008?
                                          Did Arkansas vote for Bush or Kerry in 2004?
                                          Did Arkansas vote for Bush or Gore in 2000?
                                          
                                          Obviously it voted for Clinton in the 90s, because he's their native son. But that was an aberration.
                                          
                                          But I take your point about representation in Congress. But they're more Dixiecrat than Democrat, right?
                                          
                                          Arkansas is very conservative, and if it's dominated by Christian "family" organizations, that will  explain why it's poor and not exactly a hotbed of innovation of any kind (except Walmart, of course).

                                       Livelonger...Ark also voted for Clinton overwhelmingly. Arkansans were not going to support Gore. Arkansans usually vote for the candidate they want more than for a political party.
                                       This is why Arkansas has bi-partisan legislation more than US Congress will ever see.  This is why Arkansas has a balanced budget. Arkansas has a law that the State has to have a balanced budget.
                                       I have seen many legislators in this state vote for bills across party lines.

                                          Arkansas voted for Clinton because Clinton is from Arkansas. (He was your governor, remember?)
                                          
                                          That's great that the state government has a balanced budget. That laws can still get passed simply means the virulent partisan obstructionism of the national GOP hasn't infected your state government. Yet.

                                       lol, Dixiecrat. Yes Arkansas is conservative. Hey, Clinton in office benefited this state big time.
                                       Yes, Arkansas ranks near the bottom in all national statistics in areas you talk about, but also has an extremely large number of wealthy people in this state. (ratio wise that is)
                                       
                                       Arkansans are more apt to vote across party lines. Except for a couple of Congressperson we have right now, who will be on the unemployment line come election. One thing Arkies don't tolerate is those elected going against the "will of the people" here.
                                       
                                       And Arkansas is a "tax" happy State. Everything they can tax, they do. And looking for more ways to tax.

                                          I think Kenrick is going to have to wake up to reality pretty soon. I am not a fan of the Republican party but they are going ream the Democrats in November. I think Kenrick is just giving the Democrat last hoorah.

                        I just complimenting your ability to make people laugh with your statements. That's why Fox News probably has high ratings since it's probably the only television news outlet that caters to the GOP supporter views and it provides Democrat supporters with plenty of laughs, looks of disbelief, or head shaking on a consistent basis.
