I am so thankful that we have someone like Senator Lugar standing up and asking the tough questions why we are involved in Libya. Senator Kerry seemed to just rubber stamp the whole plan. If Senator Lugar weren&#39;t in the Senate, no one would take the leadership role in calling for justifications and goals and objectives.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486321085321039850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-76344686467309847392011-03-31T10:32:17.734-05:002011-03-31T10:32:17.734-05:00So Paul? Are you saying we need more people like Lugar who never met a bank bailout he didn&#39;t like? <br /><br />We need legislators who are too cowardly to stand up to the banks (the very people responsible for the economic mess)? <br /><br />Is that what you are saying?M Theoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892309818226431745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-57496237640192608142011-03-30T21:03:58.312-05:002011-03-30T21:03:58.312-05:00Couldn&#39;t agree with you more - Sen.

Murkowski waged a write-in campaign.<br /><br />Politicians are slick, especially career pols like Lugar. It just shows how much power corrupts. <br /><br />When Lugar could enjoy a leisurely retirement in his golden years, writing books, speaking, and influencing policy in other ways, he feels the state NEEDS him as if we cannot survive without his representation. It&#39;s arrogance at its worst, deluded thinking at its best.LA Sunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445498119590721449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-16972369680482690402011-03-29T19:57:18.223-05:002011-03-29T19:57:18.223-05:00LASunsett, Indiana has a &quot;sore loser&quot; law that prohibits people from running for public office that lost a party&#39;s primary.Blog Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900497671781531454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-26528438085454334822011-03-29T18:04:29.300-05:002011-03-29T18:04:29.300-05:00Good for him. <br /><br />I wish I could, but I can&#39;t get too terribly excited because he has a flash of sensible thought, now and then. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.<br /><br />If you ask me, it&#39;s time for re-election. Knowing he&#39;s got a helluva primary fight on his hands, he&#39;s trying to put on his conservative hat for awhile.<br /><br />What would you bet the guy pulls a Burton and talks a bunch of people into running in the primary to split the anti-Lugar vote? Or better yet, he&#39;ll lose the primary and pull a Lisa Murkowski. <br /><br />I don&#39;t trust him.LA Sunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445498119590721449noreply@blogger.com
