Senator Mark Pryor Delivers the Democratic Radio Address

[cal04]

(snip)
My fellow Democrats and I believe our government must do more to protect Americans at home and around the world. We also understand there is no time to waste. Five years after 9/11, our country is not as safe as it needs to be, or should be. More needs to be done.

Our first responders lack critical resources. For example, the administration has cut funding for a proven program in Pine Bluff, Ark. that has provided on-site training to over 70,000 first responders across the nation.

Our military, including our National Guard, has been stretched to the breaking point. Returning Guard units no longer have adequate equipment to train for their next mission.

Our ports, borders and chemical plants remain unsecured, the person responsible for the 9/11 attacks - Osama bin Laden - is still on the loose, and North Korea and Iran continue to pursue their nuclear ambitions.

3. He makes some good points. I heard that he is sending some

money to Ol' Joe Lieberman to help him in his Independent bid though, so I wish I had a more progressive alternative and I would vote against Mr. Pryor.

4. It still stinks to hand him the mic right after he declared for Joe

-like a reward for being divisive.

*Unless*, maybe the party is trying to lure him away from Joe :shrug:

5. This is fuckin stupid

this fuck won't even back an elected Democratic Senatorial candidate in Ct and Reid(or someone) has him deliver a official Democratic reply. Why the fuck does anyone bother with anything. There is no discipline at all.
