Opinion of Mark Pryor (D-AR)

[RR1997]

Eww..

[Rockefeller GOP]

an agressively dumb person. good riddance.

Granted, you guys are not Democrats, so this isn't directed at you ... but I don't get the thinking behind when conservative Republicans or liberal Democrats say "good riddance" to their moderate members who lose re-election.  The "Don't let the door hit you on your way out, DINO/RINO!" attitude would only make sense if said politician were being replaced with someone closer to your actual views.

If Joe Manchin or Mark Pryor get primaried successfully from the left/lose re-election, their replacements are going to be 1,000 times worse to liberals.  At least old school Southern Democrats preached some economic populism, just as old school New England Republicans preach fiscal conservatism.

Rant over.

It's one thing to be a moderate Democrat, it's quite another to thump a bible in a television ad. Neither party should accept that kind of b.s., and that's why Mark Pryor should've gotten triaged much earlier. Individual situations should have individual consequences, and Mark Pryor is certainly too stupid to deserve a Senate seat (hell, he even said so!).

Meh, negative. He looks okay next to Cotton, but that's the best I've got.
