Just a friendly reminder to any GOP members that think that voting for an assault weapon ban will help them get reelected in 2014 or 2016.

Glad Lugar is out. Lots to be learned about GOP from that episode.

Yeah, like, for instance, don’t replace someone who’s mostly conservative with someone who is stupid.

From what I’m seeing, voting for Obama’s AWB is a career ender. Liberals are talking about this poll and that poll that shows this and that and playing their usual propaganda games. The only polls House republicans should be worrying about are the ones taken in their districts. They should also remember that it isn’t the moderates that determine their fate and that the people that do determine their fate are in no mood for reaching across the aisle.

Yes of course, let’s continue to support RINOs like Lugar who will abandon us in the clutch, just as long as they go along to get along most of the time. = wink = wink =
Maybe if the hot water were made suddenly hotter, the frogs will notice in time.
Certainly better than letting the water warm up slowly with RINOs like Lugar.

There are plenty of so called “conservative” FReepers who happily worked in concert with the media and RINOs to destroy anyone who stood in their way.
On the bright side, they were so busy with a few that many more tea partiers won.

I might have agreed with you a few months ago. Now? not so much. The only way to make some men hold the line is to put a machine gun behind them.

It's more than past time to shed these 80 year old dinosaurs who are comfortably entrenched and more than willing to compromise us into socialism. The party needs to be bitch slapped back to it's conservative roots. Pray be this the first bitch!!! Orin Hatch is probably not sleeping to good tonight!!!

Some hits (Cruz, Flake, Fischer) but dreadful misses (Akin and Mourdock).
It ain't the conservative message that is the problem. It is the messenger. We have to find a better way to screen out the stupid.

Richard Lugar, lowest common denominator.
(2009) Chicago Climate Exchange Has Important Partner: Sen. Richard Lugar
A greenhouse gases trading system funded with the help of then-Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama would appear to have another prominent supporter, Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who was also one of the system's earliest clients.
Three years ago, Lugar, who grows corn, soybeans and trees on his family's 604 acres of property in Marion County, Ind., became the first farmer in his state to sign up with the new commodity market called the Chicago Climate Exchange, which is likely to play a major role in President Obama's $650 billion cap-and-trade initiative. In the process, Lugar became what the exchange called an offset producer, entitling him to a financial reward in return for keeping his part of his property untouched.
Get your money for nothin and your RINO hacks for free.

Wrong. Completely wrong. mourdock was elected statwide as treasurer and was a fine choice. He made a ridiculous mistake, and one that is inexplicable after the Akin comments in MO. Otherwise, he was fine.
You single out a few candidates in your comments, but leave out the slew of ‘RNC preferred’ candidates that fell on their face. You didn’t mention Tommy Thompson, Connie Mack, or George Allen who were all the ‘safe’ choice. All ran terrible, uninspiring, losing campaigns. You seem to cherry pick few upstart candidates among hundreds in the country.
You win some and you lose some, and your attacks afterwards are not helpful.
