INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican Sen. Richard Lugar is asking Democrats and independents to cross party lines and save him next week in the political fight of his life.

The six-term senator said Friday he needs votes from outside his own party if he is to survive Tuesday's GOP primary. Recent polling has shown Lugar trailing tea party-backed state Treasurer Richard Mourdock.

Lugar told reporters he is best suited to represent Jewish and female Hoosiers along with ethnic minorities.

“George Bush should probably have made him Secretary of State and let someone a generation younger take the seat.”

Lugar? You must be nuts ( like Peggy Noonan)! It’s thinking like this that has resulted in worthless a$$holes like Lugar overstaying their welcome for at least 25 years. It’s bad enough that Lugar has screwed the State of Indiana, but he’s been screwing the whole country for a generation. I just hope that the voters in Utah don’t think like you and kick that other pud, Urine Hatch out at the same time!

Last Refuge of a Scoundrel. Asking members of the opposition to cross party lines and bail you out in an open primary.

Of course, you realize if it works and he wins he will be incorrigible. Like Arlen Specter would have been if the GOP had not backed his last re-election bid.

The same thing which goes on in a dickhead.

Now, do I have to join them?

"What is going on in Dick’s head?"

"Dear Diary,

As I put pen to paper this evening to write my first - and last - concession speech, I strive to assess why Hoosiers would do this to me. Oh, yeah, I'm not a Hoosier. That's why."

RINOs are WORSE than Democrats.

Democrats are like bullets. They can MISS. You can dodge and if hit and not fatal, remove the bullet 100%.

RINOs are like Cancer. Killing from the inside and many times you don’t even know your dying.

Indeed, it reminds me of the Taqqiah islamic game. First they come pretending they are capitalists when in fact they are into hunger games and want to ransack the whole place, because they are too incompetent... until they find the hard way that they will lose at those games, so they set it up long long term.

I think Lugar is moling himself or coming out of the closet ever so shyly as it has happened ever since the 911 defeatism and stuff. .
