Ah . . . Dick Lugar

joecollins

Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) must need a hearing aid. He can’t hear us yet. He might, in two years.

you will be needed in two years.

Sen. Lugar is the problem. Marlin Stutzman is the solution. This guy is an idiot. He’s writing his own political obituary.

Some people just don’t listen.

If Mr Lugar did not hear it, he will. YO! DICK, fix it or leave. You are a RINO, a deaf one too. Your days are numbered in the US Senate, start counting. Two more years, two more years, two more years to retirement. AMF.

IJB

Let me amend that:

I don’t see how Lugar can get through a Primary IF HE HAS ONLY *ONE* CONSERVATIVE CHALLENGER.

If the pols in IN make the same mistake that the pols in the MI GOV and TN GOV races made, and run multiple challengers to Lugar, then Lugar may just slip through.

I hope the people in IN put their heads together and rally around *ONE* conservative challenger (i.e. make sure just *one* “name” runs) against Lugar.

(And, FTR, I don’t think it should be Stutzman – he’s “too new” to try this now – leave him in the House for a few years where he can build his name and brand up…)

Primary him, please, please, PLEASE!

Of course, the despicable Lisa Murkowski has now written the book on what to do next, but one problem at a time….

someone on the “inside” of the IN GOP that I’d trust to be better than Lugar…. thinking, thinking, thinking. Hmm, Pence certainly but I really like the idea of “Governor” Pence. Nope, can’t think of any GOP insiders that I’d trust to be better than Lugar.

Good old DICK Lugar. What world is DICK living in? It certainly isnt in this galaxy.

I guess he’s planning early for that 2012 run in Arlen’s Party.

Dick wants to bring back the days of the great Bills that he proudly voted for and moved forward – like MCCain Feingold and the Brady Bill.

would need to be his pension. If we try to primary him and he wins, then he says ha, ha, ha.
If we primary him and we win, then he says ha, ha, and HA as he collects a fat taxpayer paid for pension and goes to work on K Street.
But don’t get me wrong, replacing him with someone who would take that quaint oath of office (something about a Constitution thingy) seriously would be WONDERFUL!!!!!

How about SENATOR DANIELS.

Yeah, I’d prefer him as a President, but since he’s term limited, if he doesn’t want to make the big leap to Prez, maybe he’d consider being a Senator.

second. A notorious drunk and obvious dolt, a parody of a functional human, the one and only Ted,hiccup, Kennedy was hailed for years and honored in his death as, “The Lion of the Senate”. This should tell you the full story of this once reasonably respected institution.
The club most often tends also to be a one way street, favors lean Left, Right gets “not this time”. But they never learn or care.
We do get the occasional Jim DeMint, thankfully.

I hate it when I’m right!!!!

A mere one hour after my post above I get this charming tweet:

Our experts agreed that Lugar is largely correct — ending earmarks won’t directly reduce spending, only re-direct it. — http://ow.ly/3cf75

…Are state Treasurer Richard Mourdock (R), state Sen. Mike Delph (R) and 2010 Senate candidate Don Bates, Jr. (this according to Hotline On Call.

Can anyone from IN tell us anything about these potential candidates? Are any of them movement conservatives?

The_Rebel

in two years and wants to suck up to the MSM and his Dem buddies, Tea Party and conservative Republicans be damned. There definitely should be an age limit on these jokers to stop them from running until they drop dead on the Senate floor. He will be 80 in 2012.

alaskaescapeartist

He’s living in DICK World.

I want our side to be DICK Less,… oh wait, I guess it already IS!

IJB

That, more than anything – that he wants to run again at *80* – shows how “Washington” and out of touch he’s gotten.

The guy’s been there too long. I’ve got to think even people in Indiana have got to see that…

rascott

is a great Hoosier and a great American. I’m proud to have him as my Senator regardless of all these ridiculous RINO comments. THe guy is a consistent fiscal conservative, is one of the most knowledgable foreign policy individuals in the GOP, and is LOVED in the state of Indiana.

rascott

Daniels got his start in politics working in Lugar’s office. They are close and Daniels would NEVER challenge him. Beyond that, Lugar is more popular in Indiana than Daniels is.

rascott

the state of Indiana votes him out, primary or general. You guys really are clueless to think you can primary Lugar. He is without a doubt the most popular politician in the state.

He co-sponsored the original bill too. I hope the voters don’t forget this in 2012.

That “bipartisanship” was fast. Looks like he will need to do some research on what Americans actually want if he has any hope of retaining that Senate seat.

grandma

He has been buds too long with the likes of Bayh.

I’ve seen Dick come and I hope I see Dick go. I’t be nice if a Jane would come on the scene to take his spot.

Maybe Jackie Walorski will be the one. See Jackie run. Yes!

The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (The “DREAM Act”) would provide certain inadmissible or deportable alien students who graduate from US high schools, who are of good moral character, arrived in the U.S. as minors, and have been in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill’s enactment, the opportunity to earn conditional permanent residency if they complete two years in the military or two years at a four year institution of higher learning. The alien students would obtain temporary residency for a six year period. Within the six year period, a qualified student must have “acquired a degree from an institution of higher education in the United States or [have] completed at least 2 years, in good standing, in a program for a bachelor’s degree or higher degree in the United States,” or have “served in the uniformed services for at least 2 years and, if discharged, [have] received an honorable discharge.” Military Enlistment contracts require an eight year commitment.

Beretta throbbing with all this co-sponsorhip? It’s almost like there’s a personal story in the shadows or something. I wonder if he’s been hiking the Appalachian Trail.
