“Interestingly, one of Talbott’s closest friends in the U.S. Senate, Republican Richard Lugar of Indiana, has emerged as a foreign policy adviser to leading Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. In 2005, Lugar and Obama made a visit to Russia to promote the scandal-ridden “Cooperative Threat Reduction Program (CTR),” also known as the Nunn-Lugar program for its original Senate sponsors. The CTR has poured about $6 billion into the former Soviet Union in foreign aid, supposedly for the purpose of preventing nuclear proliferation.”
OMG!!~ Dick Lugar is a USEFUL IDIOT!
Lugar is an embarrassment to Indiana. He was voted in back in ‘72 I think under the title “Nixon’s Favorite Mayor” (right before the Watergate scandal). He was a reliable conservative his first two or three terms but has become progressively more RINO. Trouble is, he’s been around so long he’s an institution here in Hoosier land and I don’t know that he’ll ever lose an election. He didn’t even have a real opponent last time. He is also BIG TIME pro amnesty with all the trimmings.
