These people are from old pioneer blood, and they know the right thing to say to let voters know who they are.
Then there's Lugar ~ he supports the family Black Walnut Grove ~ which is always good. That's so hard-core Indiana I don't think there's anything else that could mark you totally authentic than maybe knowing where to get mushrooms.
The Democrat running for the office this year has similar affinities although I think he's a sort of foreigner since he's from MIshawaka and can probably spell it right as well. Guarantee everybody I just named can tell you where Johnny Appleseed planted a tree in their neighborhood.
As far as being Conservative is concerned, NONE of these men are far off the mark sent by Governor Schricker and William F. Jenner.
Homer Capehart was "business" but he got television off the dime. Many claim he jumped Farnsworth's patents but that's just crazy talk. He paid for them fair and square.
I"d just imagine the only real Liberal to ever be elected to office in Indiana was Representative Jacobs.
Now, about Naptown being a big city filled to the brim with black people ~ they are a remarkably small but still highly visible minority group with defined residential patterns. You get much outside of Center Township and they are just people who live there and commit crime ~ but they don't dominate the scenery. Remember, the City is the same as the County and that's about 400 square miles ~
No, Orrin G. Hatch has been in the Senate eight years longer than McC.
Lugar's own Senate bio claims he's the highest seniority US Senator. The second factor is that Indiana's population is larger than that of Utah!
McConnell still moves up having only Hatch, a drooler, and Grassley, well into the care of his staff people, ahead of him.
He has YOUT' on his side eh!
I did.
Should have counted the number of times Mourdock said "I agree" about things Lugar said, and vice versa.
There was no big conflict in that debate ~ so does that make Mourdock the second biggest RINO in the race perhaps?
Obviously that'd be a ridiculous conclusion.
Seems to me Lugar's age and obvious infirmness are more relevant to this race than anything else ~ guy did drool and failed to show minimal attentiveness to what was going on around him several times in the debate.
So why is it you guys are afraid to go after Lugar for being an old coot?
