I’m paraphrasing, natch, but there’s a reason why this ad is heavy on human imperfection and verrry light on party identification. Pryor’s rightly worried about how the Democratic agenda’s playing at home in Arkansas, and by “agenda” I don’t mean raising the minimum wage. Odds that a future ad will include the phrase “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”: 95 percent.
Actually, O-Care’s only half his problem. The other half, Sean Trende argues, is that all signs over the past year point to an even steeper than expected drop-off for Democrats in 2014.
Taken together, of the 170 contested elections that have been held this year for state legislative seats, for federal office, or for statewide office, the Democrat ran ahead of President Obama’s 2012 showing in only 27 races. By contrast, the Democrat ran more than 10 points behind the president’s showing in 47 races. On average, Democrats ran 5.9 percentage points behind the president, with a median drop-off of 6.4. Even if we knock a point off of these numbers to account for the Chris Christie effect in many of these races, that’s still a big decline.
What does this mean for 2014? Possibly nothing. There is a lot of football left to be played, the president’s job approval rating could rally significantly, the Democrats could become enthused, and drop-off could become a non-issue.
But if that doesn’t happen, Democrats have a real headache coming on. Let’s assume they can expect a drop-off of four to five points from Obama’s 2012 performance, all other things being equal. Twenty-eight House Democrats occupy seats where Obama won less than 55 percent of the vote. More disturbingly for Mr. Jackson’s Party, 13 Senate seats fall into this category. This is consistent with what we’ve seen in polling: Democrats putting up terrible numbers in places like Louisiana, Arkansas and North Carolina, while races in states like Michigan and Iowa are looking surprisingly tight.
Bottom line: If the GOP can’t beat this stiff, who also voted for amnesty, in a conservative state with a Harvard Law grad turned decorated veteran as its nominee, it should disband. Exit question via David Freddoso, who notes that Republicans, of course, have played this game too: Who’s witnessing for whom here?
Did this guy used to be a preacher? He sounds like one: “G-d told me to tell you ...”.
OK, so it’s the car dealer’s first visit to the church. The minister is greeting people following the sermon which was ‘short and sweet.’
“Father, that was the best damnedest sermon I ever heard!” said the businessman, pumping his hand.
“Well, thank you. But I’m not Catholic and honestly we don’t really sanction that kind of ...”
“And you know what they say father. ‘Money talks and BS walks! So I dropped five grand in the collection plate.”
(Long silence, then)
“No s**t?”
Who told you God has forgiven you?
Is he confessing his vote is a sin? If so, what restitution is he offering?
Fooled him huh? He could, but maybe not. Lucky for us that God is a forgiving kind of God.
“New Sen. Mark Pryor ad: If God can forgive me for voting for ObamaCare, why can’t you?”
Answer: cuz I’m not God!
When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
She said, “No one, Lord.”
And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
John 8:10-11
Those last five words constitute the key part that Pryor ignores. It was only eight weeks ago that Pryor had a chance to vote against funding Obamacare. And with that chance, Pryor chose to sin again. Repentance means turning away from your bad choices. Pryor has yet to turn away from his.
Ok, any moment now I expect to hear the lsm jump all over this guy, I mean we just cannot have the crazies out there invoking God’s name, right??
I am sickened at the low tactics these aholes resort to, just disgusted.
how does he know God forgives him....did he get on his knee’s and ask god to forgive him....One has to ask before forgiveness can be given and remember ..go and sin no more. Is he saying he is sorry, let him show it by his action and resign for being stupid.
Forgive you for that? I think he’s still working on being taken out of your party’s platform then being booed when he got put back in.
Because you blaspheme GOD and still love baby murder and would do what you always do because you are a GOD-less creature of evil.
Proof that God has forgiven you, I heard He condemns you.
If he wants forgiveness, he will have to accept the penance of not running for office.
Tom Cotton should have a field day with this ad from Pryor.
Because continuing to identify yourself with a "D" after your name is all we need to know about you and your future actions...
Does he have a video of God coming down from the heavens to forgive him or any other evidence of such?
Forgiveness is NOT the restoration of trust.
If he were truly sorry for voting for it, he would resign.
>>If God can forgive me for voting for ObamaCare, why can’t you?<<
Because God is perfect, man is not.
I hope so.
I’ll be happy to forgive, when 0bamacare is gone. If the good Senator wants forgiveness, he can help it go. Otherwise, flapping his lips about it isn’t going to help.
Saint Peter: "What was your biggest accomplishment in life?"
Pryor: "I voted for Obamacare."
Saint Peter: "You go to Hell !"
