I would guess “dick” Lugar voted for Obama. Lugar is the ultimate elitist RINO that travels below the radar.
I called “dick’s” office to ask him to vote no on the SB 510.
He could care less what the people want.
Problem is that he has ran unopposed for many years. If a democrat runs against him I would vote for the democrat just to see Lugar’s time end.
What you need to do is get Lugar out of there now. The man is obviously senile and living in a totally different age where he imagines the agricultural sector in Indiana still needs guys to pick beans by hand.
Fact is the bean growers probably do have better access to Lugar than most members of his constituency, but they don't need the bean pickers unless there's late season rain and the fields are muddy. Otherwise they are some of America's wealthiest farmers ~ with fine contracts with Mexican and Puerto Rican bean packers.
NOTE: about 90% of the US fancy bean crop is under contract with Mexican bean marketers. In Mexico 90% of all protein derives from fancy beans. This is one of the tightest co-dependency situations between any two nations on Earth. The Rubber Meets The Road in Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas and Tennessee when it comes to fancy beans. These guys usually have 8 members of the Senate bought and paid for at any one time.
We are unrepresented in Washington.
I agree, it will be nice to replace Lugar with someone more conservative but to vote for a RAT is unconscionable.
This is why we have primaries. Primaries are very important. This is how we move the party to more conservative--not by electing RATS!!
You are right about Richard “Nixon’s Favorite Senator” Lugar. He has been sliming up the GOP caucus for more than a generation now. We in Illinois feel the same way about Mark Nancyboy Kirk who is destined to be Obamao’s favorite “Republican” senator.
