Club for Growth Backs Mark Pryor Challenger #ARSEN

[Smart3]

|The Club for Growth’s political action committee formally endorsed Republican Rep. Tom Cotton on Wednesday, a day after the freshman announced a challenge to Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor in Arkansas.

The group is set to launch a six-figure TV ad buy against Pryor on Thursday, tying the incumbent to President Barack Obama. The ads will run on broadcast and cable stations, and it’s just the latest media campaign targeting one of the most vulnerable incumbents of the cycle.

“Tom Cotton is a taxpayer hero and a fighter against the Obama agenda,” Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said in a statement.

I support Mark Pryor because he's not Tom Cotton.

The Club is an organization that has nothing to with foreign policy, only fiscal issues.

In the big scheme of things, Cotton's victory would be another addition to the Rubio faction (should such a faction exist in the future when McCain and Graham are gone)

And that would be much, much worse than having some run-of-the-mill DINO in office.

I'm all in on Mace, Enzi, and Pryor. Neocons must lose hard.

He must not be that good even with fiscal issues if he supports continuing our expensive interventionist policy.

Is tom cotton horrible enough for any of you guys to proactively help pryor to keep him out of the senate?

Yes.

From my perspective Cotton is essentially Graham or Rubio, so yes indeed, I'm rooting for that rat ba--ard Pryor.

I prefer an enemy I know.

A friend of mine in Arkansas who voted for Ron Paul and is somewhat liberty oriented said he is fully supporting Cotton over Pryor. He doesn't agree with Cotton on NSA surveillance and some of his foreign policy stances, but I think he's just one of those people who basically think that any Republican is better than any Democrat, and he also wants someone who will vote to repeal Obamacare and will help give the GOP the majority in the Senate. Personally, if I lived in Arkansas I probably couldn't bring myself to vote for Pryor either, even though I hate Cotton. I would probably vote for the Libertarian Party candidate or just not vote in that race.

Seriously, this is the first race they get in on? I better start seeing some serious cash flowing to many more of our peeps.

Pryor is really no different than McCain/Graham... Besides Obamacare, there is little that separates them. It seems that Cotton is decent on fiscal issues, which would be an upgrade from Pryor. Pryor is arguably the last blue dog left in the senate, and it would really be good to finish off the dems off in the south.

At least as far as voting on issues, he would be a decent improvement. It would also be nice to have 1 less Democrat in the Senate. Pretty much all of the Republicans (only exceptions I can think of are GOP Senators from ME and IL) are better than all of the Democrats. This should be good for the future of the US. Personally, there are 100s of races I'd rather get involved with but if Club for Growth think there is a really good chance, if they throw in a bunch of money, I won't hold it against them. This seems like much easier than primarying a Republican incumbent in KY or SC.

 

[compromise]

Cotton is bad, but Pryor is worse than Cotton.

 

[TaftFan]

Cotton is bad, but Pryor is worse than Cotton.

On the issues yes, but strategically Cotton may be worse for the liberty movement. The only exception being if that Senate seat is the final vote over Obamacare repeal.

"Sippenhaftung" the German word for family responsibility introduced by the Nazis, might come in handy when referring to his failed law proposal.

Filibuster, we'll need 60+ seats. (which the GOP will never get again)

The two are intertwined so deeply that there is no way you can only deal fiscal issues and not affect foreign policy.
