” and I very much disagree that Lugar is more left of dangerous than a RAT—not even close.”
I’ll give a for instance: Sen. Lugar voted against EVERY move meant to weaken or punish the Iranian regime, including any sanctions & was THE ONLY senator to vote against listing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard on the Terrorist list.
His stance & votes have been so pro-Iranian regime, that people have wondered if he’s been receiving money from them.
He’s a danger to the U.S.
He’s not nearly the danger to America as Reid and the Democrats. We’ll have to differ on the value of those such as Lugar. IF we could have replaced him with a better Republican, I’m all for it but to deliberately choose to lose and let the Democrat control the Senate, then it’s a bad deal.
