Mark Pryor Stands Against Religious Liberty

Mark Pryor is in the fight of his political life against Tom Cotton in what has become one of the reddest states in the country, and also one of the most religious states in the country. It is no coincidence then that Pryor has been seen holding a Bible and saying the word “Jesus” more often than a revival preacher in a tent. Pryor’s first ad of the campaign season focused literally on nothing more than how much he loved the Bible, as seen here (imagine, if you will, the Democrat freakout if a Republican ran such an ad):

Pryor has continued to lean on appeals to his personal Christianity heavily throughout the campaign, and has gone apoplectic at any suggestion that his voting record is not exactly consistent with with that of a strong Christian.

Unfortunately for Mark Pryor, an opportunity arose this week to prove that he has even the most marginal allegiance to the Bible or religion of any kind, and he failed it miserably. I’m talking, of course, about Harry Reid’s cynical attempt to overturn the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision, which said that closely held corporations have the religious liberty to not pay for abortifacients in accordance with their religious beliefs. Again, the issue is not whether women had the right to have access to these abortifacients, but rather whether their employers can be compelled, over their religious objections, to become complicit in medical abortions by paying for them.

That commercial is so offensive.

How can anyone be a democrat and say such things? I to be around anyone that puts the Bible in our face while being a member of a party that supports abortion and gay marriage.

Sorry, Mark. I don’t believe your lies will hold up this time.

That should be:

I “don’t want” to be around anyone that puts the Bible in our face while being a member of a party that supports abortion and gay marriage

Tom Cotton isn’t perfect but Pryor is the consummate DC Rat that will say/do anything to get elected. He has no discernible principles other than himself. Disgusting.

This “satirical ad” should have used Pryor instead of the actor featured:

Pryor is running a new ad of him sitting with his BIG Bible [wants to make sure it seen -- opened].

Cotton 51% over Pryor 44%.

I found that commercial to be disgusting.

S. Johnson: “Patriotism the last refuge of a scoundrel.” Pryor must have remembered it as “religion”.

WOW! This has got to be the Death Knell in Pryor’s Election chances. I hope Tom Cotton pounces on this.
