Pryor whores himself out for the Republican Party



Once again, Mark Pryor is doing the bidding of the Republican Party. This time around he is selling out the Democratic Party by supporting the loser of the Democratic primary in Connecticut instead of the rightful winner. I know that he and Joe Lieberman have been beltway buds for a few years but instead of doing the right thing, he is toeing the Republican party line with his unwavering support of Joe. Now Pryor has never been one of my favorite politicians because he has sold out the people of Arkansas on many occasions. Pryor was instrumental in allowing the most vile of big business conservatives, Sam Alito, to be elevated to the Supreme Court, he caved to Republicans on the bankruptcy bill that was written by and for the big credit card companies, and in the Terri Schaivo nonsense I will let Senator Pryor speak for himself "I support Congressional action taken over the weekend that allowed a federal judge to review the case of Terri Schiavo. The legislation offers an opportunity to gain additional perspective on the right way to proceed and ensures that every option was explored in coming to a final decision." Yes he actually supported a special session involving one person's right to die decision and a review of the case that had already been reviewed and re-reviewed. It is well known in the beltway that Pryor votes with the Republicans and more importantly with the president way too often to be considered an actual Democrat but what really irks me about this product of nepotism is his assertion that this is compromise. Compromise is when both sides give a little, capitulation is when you just cave in like Mark Pryor is so prone to do. Mark Pryor is a dangerous politician mostly because he is a stealth Republican. Bad for Arkansas and bad for America. Enjoy the next two years, Mark, because they will be your last.
