You just happened to hit on something that really upsets me.I believe that Pryor is a total phony that completely pulled a fast one on some very naive Christian voters.Firstly if he was a true Christian he could not run as a democrat.Secondly I dont believe he is a Christian at all.Look at his vopting record on the Bush judges.He told the voters as I remember that he would vote for Bushes judges.He is a total loser!!!Arkansas had a fine Senator before Pryor came along.Pryor is a total loser IMHO

I would disagree that Democrats cannot be Christians. But, in my own personal experience, it became extremely difficult to justify supporting what the leadership had become. This is why the party is leaking people of genuine faith to the only Party that in majority still evidences respect toward Christians/Jews etc.. and their Faith. There are exceptions...but overall this is the case with the Republican party currently.

An unidentified rural voter in Arkansas was quoted putting it this way: "I'm proud to be an American because of the way this country was founded. And (Republicans) stand up for this nation's Christian heritage. There's no question that - I believe this with all my heart - this country is blessed the way it has been for all these years because of the way it was founded. And God's looked on us favorably. And I think Republicans have that at heart, most of them do. And it shows in the moral stance they take. Because you hear all the time that there are no absolutes, but there truly is, and I think (Republicans) recognize that and try to push that in their agenda."

Pretty well stated in this quote.

Dean met in Arkansas with Tim Wooldridge, a Church of Christ lay preacher who is running as a Democrat for lieutenant governor. "I told him you have to be real, to be bona fide," Woodridge said, "because if you're not, you're going to smack of hypocrisy and gag people."

Precisely what I stated last year when kerry ran. I don't have a litmus test that a politician must be a believer but don't you dare use my God to attempt to fool people into voting for you. I will never tolerate it, it'll only anger people of real faith.

I don't know if Pryor is a Christian, I usually do not make that judgement unless it becomes blatantly obvious after intence prolonged coverage such as in the case of the Clinton's and Kerry, but his pledge to vote for the judges is the same as was made by the one in Colorado. That lie can easily be smacked down for use by other Democrat politicians by making Pryor and the one from Colorado the warning label for giving Dems the benefit of the doubt.
