Glad Arkansas is red

This is in reference to John Zach’s letter in which he lamented that Arkansas was a red state. He believes that Arkansas should be a two-party state. Thank God Arkansas is a red state. It could be a blue state where our senators and congressmen vote in lockstep to whatever the president wants. A president with an approval rating hovering around 42 percent. Arkansas senators and Congressmen did not vote to approve things like 87,000 more IRS agents or part of $20 billion for climate change in Indonesia (Arkansas’ annual budget is around $6 billion). All of this for a president that cannot remember that his son did not die in Iraq.

Yes, I thank God for my red-state legislators.
