Another Undocumented Democrat Comes out of the Shadows (Dick Lugar)

In an effort to create a bold alternative to the Democrats, grassroots conservatives have risen up over the years to throw out some confused Republicans in primary elections. Many of these Republicans either vote with Democrats, work behind the scenes with the more aggressive party, or bring a feather to a gun fight – all but ensuring that the other side wins. Yet, whenever we seek out replacements for these Republicans, the establishment accuses us of helping elect Democrats.

However, something peculiar tends to occur once we challenge their ruling class politicians. They officially become Democrats. We saw it with Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist, and Wayne Gilchrest. They first scoff at the claim they are not conservative enough for the party; then they illustrate the point by switching parties. Former Indiana Senator Dick Lugar is the latest to join the bandwagon:

Georgia Democrat Michelle Nunn is getting some cross-party love from former Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.).

Lugar’s political action committee, the 19th Star PAC, donated $5,000 to Nunn’s Senate campaign in early December, according to the group’s latest Federal Election Commission report.

Lugar and Nunn’s father, former Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), worked together closely on nuclear non-proliferation issues while both were in the Senate.

This isn’t the first time one of Nunn’s former GOP colleagues has donated to his daughter — former Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) also gave $500 to her campaign and attended a fundraiser for her, the Washington Post reported last month.

Remember, establishment Republicans poured in a lot of money on behalf of Lugar. The Chamber of Commerce spent roughly $266,000 and American Action Network spent over $500,000 defending Lugar from conservatives.

Sheesh. Nice way to stab your constituents in the back.

Undocumented Democrat is certainly an appropriate label. And the GOP-e wonders why there is a revolt in the Party?

Anyone with the name Lugar who supports gun control should have to change their name.

“Sheesh. Nice way to stab your constituents in the back.”

A great reason to get the GOPes out of the GOP. I’d rather push them out then leave, make them the third party.

[NormsRevenge]

I had hope for Walker.. but sadly, the cupboard is still pretty bare.. just acquiring power is enough for some..

actually using it when one has it , another.

Scott did well by Wisconsin,, he should stop there and concentrate his efforts there and not lead others astray..

" And the GOP-e wonders why there is a revolt in the Party? "

The United States Constitution is the biggest reason there is a revolt in the Republican Party.....the elitists of the GOP and old advisers have dumped that magnificent document along with the Progressives on the left thinking it will produce more invitations to speak for $$$$ across the nation using their office to gain money and votes. Tea Party new comers have managed to stand by their sworn duty to protect that same U.S. Constitution...causing the Old Dogs to eat their own........

Another Rick Santorum, Santorum was supporting /Arlen Specter until Specter switched parties and was asked to return the money for the 2010 election.

[Black Agnes]

Lugar must be doing pretty well “in retirement” if he can pony up $5K for a ‘RAT.
