Sour grapes. Obama loving idiot.

Wow, how easily we can be discouraged and defeated! A mere $5,000 donation by a liberal PAC to a Democrat in a red state and “we’re done”.
I guess it’s too much to ask that we work to have a Tea Party candidate win the Republican nomination for Senate in Georgia and defeat the Democrat? You know...similar to what we did in Texas to end up with Ted Cruz being Senator instead of a RINO or Democrat.
I’m constantly amazed at the weaklings and defeatists “amongst” us.

Now tell me again how much clout the Tea Party has or not.
The media claims the Tea Party to be DOA but day after day I’m hearing more and more about them. Perhaps the ground swell has begun as people are sick of the do nothing republicans and are seeking a light at the end of the tunnel.

It would be hard to find a bigger ego in the US Senate while he was there.

Well, everyone who was paying attention knew Lugar was a political whore before he got primaried. He just confirmed it.
Too bad Mourdock turned out to be an idiot.

This kind of thing is exactly why Im no longer a Republican. Even if you have no love for the Republican Party, Inc., until their is an approaching viable alternative, it is stupid not to make the most of primary voting opportunity to promote those candidates you do support.

I agree. We MUST do all we can to put Tea Party types into office and bump the GOPe out. The GOP can be made into what its platform is.

$5,000 isn’t going to push Michelle Nunn over the top. That senate seat is going to a conservative republican. Hopefully Dr. Paul Broun.

We had Lugar nailed for decades and now Lugar provides his very own proof!

Lugar hopes the daughter of his friend is as big of a neocon as him.
