According to
Newsday, Senator Mark Pryor, a man who calls himself a Democrat in Arkansas, will not be supporting the democraticly elected Senate Democratic nominee, Ned Lamont.
Instead, he announces today that he will support his good buddy, fellow Democrat-in-name-only, Joe Lieberman.
"The Democratic Party needs moderate voices," Pryor said. "I'm for Joe Lieberman whether he's a Democrat or an independent."
Joe Lieberman is no moderate. He is an arrogant prick and a Neocon a lot like Dick Cheney.
From the Arkansas Times:
Pryor said he would tap into his own war chest to help Lieberman. He asked staffers Wednesday to research campaign finance rules regarding transferring money from one campaign to another. ...
Shame, shame, shame.
From the Arkansas News Bureau:
"I think that people know that I support Sen. Lieberman, given the respect I have for him and the things he's been able to accomplish, the things he stand for," Pryor said.
Bullshit. He stands for the same course in Iraq and in America.
Pryor continues to be an apologist for Lieberman and the Bush administration:
"Just as I began my career 14 years ago by beating a 24-year House incumbent, Ned Lamont has earned our Democratic party's nomination in a primary election," she said in a statement. "Now, the final outcome of the general election falls to all Connecticut voters, Democrat, Republican and Independent, and I will respect their decision this November."
This is not the first time that Pryor has betrayed Democrats. He votes continually with Republicans on key issues. How many times have you waited on important votes on judges or the Supreme Court to hear Democrats that voted "yes" on cloture or a nominee? Each time, you hear Mark Pryor's name.
He doesn't get attention from those in the blogosphere and grassroots, because for the most part, he doesn't come out and explain his votes. He doesn't seek the spotlight like Joe Lieberman.
Maybe he should leave the Democratic party and join Lieberman's party of one?
It's not just moderation. When you go against the Democrats and support an independent, you are a traitor to the party.
