Leftist journalist and member of the infamous JournoList, Spencer Ackerman wrote in The Washington Independent:

In the spirit of self-criticism, something that I see my New START coverage has taken for granted is the support of Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), the leading arms-control baron on the Republican side in the Senate…

Lugar is firmly behind the Obama administration’s new treaty to reduce the U.S.-Russian nuclear stockpile and the deployed systems that can deliver those deadly payloads. So if you assume every Democratic senator will vote for the treaty when it comes up for ratification, Lugar’s vote brings the count to 60. The question is whether Lugar’s vote can bring along seven other Republicans.

In the end, Lugar convinced more than enough Republicans to vote for a treaty that was enthusiastically backed by the Democrats, Russians, Socialist International and the Communist Party USA.

How is it that a GOP Senator from Republican stronghold Indiana could be such a life-long proponent of disarmament treaties?

In my view, the answer lies in Lugar’s long time connection to the Council for a Livable World.

Founded in 1962 by Manhattan Project nuclear scientist, leftist and reported Soviet agent, Leo Szilard, and led by long time Socialist Party USA/Democratic Socialists of America affiliate Jerome Grossman and more lately senior Democrat Congressman turned D.S.A. member David Bonior. Council for a Livable World is the US’ leading pro-disarmament lobby group/PAC.

The CLW has funded hundreds of US Senators and Congressmen in its history, almost all Democrats. In recent years, Lugar has been the only Republican to receive C.L.W. largess.

Jerome Grossman

C.L.W.’s long time CEO, Jerome Grossman, claims that by funding Senators at the beginning of their careers, the C.L.W. was able to influence them later when needed.

Now Council for a Livable World is playing the money game… We try to find obscure people who would make good Senators or Representatives and early on try to give them the initial funding. Now we can’t compete with the big money. We only raise a million and a half each election cycle. But that’s a million and a half that has no cost to them. Because we get in early, and because it’s tied to issues, seems to have some kind of an effect. Then if we elect somebody they’re eternally grateful. Then we go and we are able to get a hearing.

While a token amount, Jerome Grossman (on behalf of C.L.W.) did donate to Lugar’s campaign in the 1999/2000 election cycle. more at link......

I received a newsletter or email a week ago that said that Lugar has never lived in IN since he was elected to Congress.

I would strongly encourage any of you lucky enough to live in Indiana to vote for and otherwise support Richard Mourdock in the May 8th primary.

For those of us who live in other states, we can donate to show our support. I’m not in a position to donate much (I donated $50 and will try to do more later) but that, in combination with many others doing the same, can lead to a defeat of “Obama’s Favorite Republican” in the primary and a victory of a true conservative (Richard Mourdock) this November. That would be a significant step toward a truly conservative led Senate.

Lugar and Obama are both Communist tool. "Lugar and Obama, Perm, Russia, August 2008" Today Russian President V. Putin ordered U.S. Senator Barack "Obama, who is also tight with MOSSAD, to be held in custody under suspicion of being a British operative illegally spying in Russia at off-limits secret facilities. Spying with Obama, who was locked up, was U.S. Senator Richard Lugar, pro-Bush, was detained by Putin but unlike Obama, quickly released. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar and Committee member Barack Obama at a base near Perm, Russia. This is where mobile launch missiles are being destroyed by the Nunn-Lugar program." http://americanreporter.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/russia-holds-obama-for-suspicion-of-being-a-british-spy-back-in-2005-investigator-in-chicago-fingers-obama-for-being-a-british-spy-as-far-back-as-2004/ OBAMA COULD HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED DURING HIS DETAINMENT IN RUSSIA READER ASKS IF OBAMA COULD HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED DURING HIS DETAINMENT http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin...gi?read=131645 Posted By: Rayelan Date: Tuesday, 16 September 2008, 9:14 p.m. In Response To: NOW WE KNOW WHY SHERMAN SKOLNICK HAD TO DIE - FELLOW CHICAGOAN OBAMA (Rayelan In Response To: NOW WE KNOW WHY SHERMAN SKOLNICK HAD TO DIE - FELLOW CHICAGOAN OBAMA (Rayelan) HEY RAYE COULD OBAMA HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED WHILE HE WAS DETAINED. YOU WROTE THAT IT COULD BE DONE IN 5 MNINUTES. Answer from Raye... Yes. it is possible that he could have had a "recall" program inserted in 5 minutes. A recall program tells him when and where to report for further programming. Gunther wrote about this in Operation Open Eyes. Levels One and Two If the tested applicant has more than 120 IQ, a "recall" command and an accompanying "trigger" word will be written into his personality during the Level One hypnosis session. This "trigger" will activate his recall program when we are ready for him. http://rumormillnews.com/operation.htm How Sleepers are Produced "The initial stages of hypnosis are derived by subconsciously distracting a person to where he/she does not realize that hypnosis is taking place. If the procedure is done in a doctor's office, or in the emergency room of a hospital, a Level One hypnosis, with a post hypnotic suggestion, to return for another session on a specified day, time and location, can be all be given in less than five minutes. At an emergency room, the doctors have to be far more cautious because of the others (emergency room workers) who are about him. At any rate, a second and far more detailed appointment is made where Levels Two and Three can be attained within a matter of 2-3 sittings. http://www.rumormillnews.com/operation2.htm I have always felt that this is the first election that we have two Manchurian Candidates to choose from!!

Bold Tea Party Conservative VS D.C. RINO Insider (Indiana)

Sunday, April 22, 2012 2:15:25 PM · by Syncro · 3 replies
Tea Party Express ^ | April 21, 2012 | Amy Kremer
Dear Friends,There are only 20 days left until Tea Party Express-endorsed State Treasurer Richard Mourdock faces Obama’s “Favorite” Republican, Senator Dick Lugar, in the Indiana U.S. Senate Primary. This is the first Tea Party vs Establishment battle of the cycle and we MUST send a powerful message to the powers-that-be: WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE SILENCED! . . There is timid career politician and then there is Sen. Dick Lugar. He not only refused to join republican Senators in challenging Obamacare, he voted to confirm liberal activist judges like now Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor – these justices...
