Because Lugar called himself a Republican but is really a democrat =liberal/socialist, corrupt, marxist, liar.
He didn't get as many votes as Mourdock because he's an @$$hole.
This is true and it will apply to Obama's flip-flop on gay marriage also. The effect will be largely moot, even with young people, IMHO.
Lugar showed exactly why he lost in his “loser” speech.
He said that his opponent would have to ‘revise’ his stance on being hardline conservative, in order to “get things done” in washington.
1) his opponent WON by taking a hardline stance- why should he ‘revise’ the issue? THAT IS WHY HE WON
2) to ‘revise’ your stance after you are elected is the same as “lying to the voters” THAT IS WHY YOU LOST
3) you have been in office 36 years- WHILE THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED - you WERE PART OF THE PROBLEM, Loser- i mean Lugar
I have made the point about “comprimise” many times to aquaintences. It’s always the GOP that “comprimises”. It’s all about “fairness” for liberals. They think that any Idea, no matter how outlandish, needs to be respected.
I have been unemployed and I don't recall that experience making me more socially liberal at all.
And he called himself an Hoosier, but was really a Washingtonian who occasionally visited relatives back in Indiana.
You know, when I was growing up, government employees and teachers made modest salaries. Now they are pigs at the trough.
Hey, there is a reason and a certain grace to living within one’s means.
no one cares about “getting things done” Dickie boy. they care about holding the line. Oh maybe the military allusion is lost on a genius like you.
I’m happy that creep Lugar is out! Finally some good news!
Those intolerant, small-minded Indiana Republicans decided they wanted to be represented by someone who actually lives in Indiana.
This in itself speaks volumes. 'Da Trib' was once a conscientious Conservative newspaper. Col. McCormick must be spinning in his grave.
Thumbing your nose at the people who gave you your job will sooner or later cost you.Buh-by Lugar,won’t miss you.
The democrats are falling all over themselves to tell us what a foolish move it is to send Lugar packing.
That alone shows us it is the right thing to do.
Think you nailed it - ‘good’.
As an Indiana voter I can give many reasons why he was (finally!) kicked out of office. He did not have a recorded residential address in the county (Marion) he was ‘registered’ to vote in; County Republican chairmen would ask him to attend various gatherings and his office would arrogantly tell them he doesn’t have to do them anymore; he was more interested in cow-towing to the globalist United Nations AND DEMOCRATS then visiting the State (and voters) who sent him to set in his lofty Senate seat; his own arrogance and holier-than-thou attitude FINALLY got him canned and Indiana, (no matter how the November election goes) is now much better off for it!
As long as we thought that Dick Lugar was a charming Hoosier, we tolerated his penchant for caving in to the Washington statists. The discovery that Lugar, in fact, really didn't live in Indiana (and even went so far as to charge taxpayers for his hotel rooms when he came to visit)tore the scab off his liberal voting record.
Just the tip of the iceberg...More rinos to follow.
