RPA Responds to DPA “Cult” Comment

Little Rock – When discussing Republican Michael Lamoureux’s State Senate win, Democrat Party of Arkansas Executive Director Mariah Hatta let her leftist attitude show by having the audacity to call Republican Legislators a partisan ‘cult’ who want to see Little Rock be more like Washington. RPA Chairman Doyle Webb and House Republican Leader Bryan King released the following statements:

Representative King:

“I guess if you don’t agree with President Obama and Governor Beebe then you get labeled as being part of some crazy cult. I would say partisanship includes things like trying to dissolve the Electoral College so that the average Arkansans vote no longer matters. Something the Democrat members of the House tried to accomplish.”

Chairman Webb:

“The people of Arkansas deserve competitive ideas. For to long now one party rule and the Democrat Party has allowed our state to be ranked 48th, 49th, and 50th in almost every aspect. Our Republican Legislators are believers in lower taxes, transparent and limited government, traditional values, and personal freedoms. If those values are challenged by the Democrat Majority in the legislature, they have a right to stand up and defend them.”

“Ironically most Arkansans agree with these conservative views. The Republican Party is the Party that represents the views and values of everyday Arkansans. Ms. Hatta has effectively called a majority of our great State a cult. Surely this liberal opinion isn’t that of most Democrats? I call on Chairman Turner and Governor Beebe to ask her to retract this statement.”
