It is Pryor himself who is making the "followers of Jesus Christ just (seem as though they are) another special interest group". What he is failing to acknowledge is that we all wear may hats, and those hats overlap. In our POLITICAL lives we may be conservative Republicans, in our BUSINESS lives we may be doctors, teachers,programmer etc., in our personal FAMILY lives we may be moms, dads, aunts, sisters, brothers, etc, and in our SPIRITUAL lives we may be followers of Christ. When I, as a conservative-programmer-mom-Christian take a stand on an issue... the fact that I am a mom does not mean that we moms are "another special interest group", any more than it means we Christians are a "special interest group". And another thing... if he thinks that because we are Christians we need to remain meek and mild and smily-faced about situations we don't agree with, then he has never heard the accounting of how the Christ we follow stormed into the temple courtyard and overturned the tables of the money-changers (a hot political issue of its day).

This kind of rhetoric against the Christian Right will not go very far in getting Senator Pryor reelected in Arkansas.

Mr. Pryor was only elected because of scandal on the Republican side and the joke is if he did not have his father's name to run on, he would be working at Taco Bell!!!!!!
