Senators Pryor and Lincoln should both switch to the Republican party. They might have some differences with Republicans, but I believe they’d much closer to the Republicans than the Obama Democrat party, as is the state they represent. Time to end that relic of the past that most southern states and their senators ended over the part twenty to thirty years.

Pryor and Lincoln are Liberals and quite happy helping advance that cause in the Democrat party. Not to mention the perks available to them as members of a Majority party. It would be eaier to win election, maybe, as a conservative Republican in those states if they switched parties but it won’t happen since they aren’t conservative and have so far managed to be just enough in line with their state to scrape by as D’s with no serious opposition from the Republicans in elections.

IF they won’t against this bill, it’s only because their political necks are on the line. That or the Dem’s don’t need their votes for passage so they can safely vote no.

NO WAY! IMO, that's part of the problem w/ the GOP as it is now: they have moved leftward over the last several years & have welcomed ex-Dims into their fold. I say the GOP needs to move in the opposite direction: much further to the RIGHT. They need to become a limited government / pro-Constitution Party, not a big tent Party!
