This week, Senate Conservatives Fund released a new ad focusing on Pryor’s vote for Obamacare.

1.Mark Pryor cast the deciding vote for Obamacare.
2.Despite the wishes of his constituents, Pryor still supports Obamacare and won’t vote to repeal it.

This upset Senator Pryor, who tried to claim his vote was not the deciding vote for Obamacare. So who’s right? Let’s take a look:

In the end, Obamacare could have been stopped by a single U.S. Senator.

Had Mark Pryor voted the wishes of his constituents, the bill would have failed. It’s as simple as that.

Had Mark Pryor stood up to Barack Obama and Harry Reid, the bill would have failed. Again, it’s as simple as that.

For Pryor to claim his vote was just another vote that didn’t have a deciding outcome on the passage of Obamacare is pure baloney.

When you vote with President Barack Obama 95% of the time, but represent a state where Barack Obama only received 37% of the vote, you can expect people to be upset with your voting record.

Republicans shouldn’t let him forget it in 2014.

Probably not. With these close votes it's like they sit in a hidden room somewhere and decide how to get these things to pass without it costing them the next election. If the ptb thought Pryor would lose the next election because of the vote, someone else would've been chosen to vote for it.

By all means Mark Pryor should be primaried by a real conservative. The only way to stop the US Senate from destroying the US is to have Republican Senators who will not ignore the will of the people when they get enveolped in the DC fog.
