1. It is egg on the Republicons face every time they stop the Democratic attempts to end this blood bat...
Every time the bu$h regime and their Senatorial surrogates stop the pull out it just puts another black mark on the Republicons.
The worst part is the longer it takes to get the troops home the more will die over there.

2. Without having the necessary majority it is a Chess game.
Time is in the Democrats favor and they can beat up Bush until his term is over.

3. I don't know--it may not make the Dems look unified if Ben Nelson and
Pryor won't support it.

4. Pryor In Particular, Ma'am
Would be an excellent target for some of the agitation peoploe have been misguided enough to focus lately on people like Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Clinton.

5. I agree--why beat up on folks that go along with the program at this
critical juncture in history, and lay off someone that bucks his party? Some heat needs to be applied to Mr. Pryor by the good Democrats of AR, and I may just write to Mr. Nelson and let him know what this constituent wants him to do.

6. I don't see what Pryor is worried about, he should be easily re-elected
Huckabee is the only Republic who can beat him and he's running for President.

7. Evern If It Put His Seat At Risk, Sir, He Still Should Stick With The Leadership
Edited on Mon Apr-02-07 11:45 AM by The Magistrate
We are at a point now where solidarity is the essential quality, and no excuse, from either the right or the left of the Party, is good enough for breaking ranks in this Constitutional confronatation.

8. I agree, but I'm never shocked at a politician putting his re-election over national interest
I'm just trying to understand his motive in this case.
