Mark Pryor, the junior senator from Arkansas, may not make the news very often, but when he does say something newsworthy, it's a doozy.

Mark Pryor wasn't so much challenging these folks' political views but their daring to express them.

The more anti-Christian talk we get from the Democrats the more we can use it to throw back at them at election time.
There's another thread on FR today about Democratic Senator Ken Salazar (Colorado) calling Focus On the Family & Dobson the "Anti Christ". Are all the democrats becoming infected with Christophobia??
He lost because a lot of conservatives figured that if they had to have a Senator without good character, they might as well have a Democrat.
And I thought Louisiana politics was weird....(Used to live there, experienced it first hand)....
