It’s primary day in IN. For the first time in 36 years IN Senator Dick Lugar is on the ropes. He trails Tea Party favorite Richard Mourdock by about 10 points in the latest polling data.
So what’s a life long Republican like Lugar to do when he’s about to go down? Appeal to Demo-Dopes to cross over and vote for him. That’s right. Since the Dope candidate is running unopposed, Dick Lugar is now openly asking the Dopes to cross over and vote for him.
He’s doing this in spite of the fact that he campaigned on being the best candidate to beat Demo-Dope Joe Donnelly in the general election. So yeah, that would make sense for the dopes to cross over and vote for the Republican candidate who claims to be the strongest guy against their guy. Hey, they are Dopes. Anything is possible.
I’m sure Lugar is a nice guy. He was probably even a conservative when the political winds were blowing in that direction. But when those winds began to shift, so did Lugar. He’d been in the senate so long he probably thought nobody would notice. Well we did. All we needed was a legitimate candidate. We got one when conservative State Treasurer Richard Mourdock stepped up for what seemed an impossible fight. Now Lugar is about done.
Lugar is one of the Washington elected elite ruling class we have here in America. And as Lex has noted in the past, just because they are elected does not mean that they do not see themselves as a ruling class.
Lugar has been in D.C. for THIRTY-SIX YEARS. Who do these guys think they are? The Pope? Do they reign for life? Is there no one in a state of about 7 million people who might have a better idea or two? Are you so full of hubris that at no point do you think, we’re 15 trillion in debt most of it on my watch, let’s give someone else a shot?
Things are such a mess, anyone who has been there more than two terms should be replaced. Yet they run ad after ad, “X will fight for you”. If this is what happens when you fight for me, please stop.
Lugar, like all of them, I suppose, runs these ads with him in blue jeans, boots and a work shirt standing in field somewhere talking to a farmer with a big tractor in the background. The truth is Lugar has not lived in Indiana since 1977. He sold his home and moved to Virginia. Article 1, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution requires a person to be a resident of the state he’s elected to represent. Makes sense, no? Lugar is all offended that his Indiana bona fides are being challenged. What a load of crap. A child could figure this one out. Like any member of any ruling class, after a life time of perks and being kowtowed to, Lugar does not take kindly to anyone challenging him.
In this respect he’s like life time Senator Orin Hatch from Utah. Hatch said he’d like to punch the people at Freedom Works in the nose for having the temerity to mount a primary challenge to what I’m sure at this point he believes is his birth right.
Hatch is so out of touch, he once had a “good friend,” Teddy Kennedy, who drowned a girl, not his wife, in his car late one night. Teddy the swimmer got out, made it to safety and waited until the morning to arrange any assistance for the girl he left in the car. Some good friend Orin. Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are.
Both these guys need to go. They should have gone 2 or 3 terms back. It should be a good day in IN and for America as one of the ruling class is finally pushed aside.
