The Downfall of a career politicain and go-along to get-along moderate Statesman News Alert Dick Lugar spent almost his entire Senate career trying to make the world safer from the specter of nuclear war. But as it turned out on Tuesday night, Indiana Republicans weren’t (pause for a good weep) motivated to vote for the longtime statesman’s foreign policy bona fides, and he lost his party’s nomination to state Treasurer Richard Mourdock by about 20 points.

I wonder if Lugar's approached Murkowsky for advice yet.

No I'm Not Bitter
"If Mr. Mourdock is elected, I want him to be a good Senator. But that will require him to revise his stated goal of bringing more partisanship to Washington. He and I share many positions, but his embrace of an unrelenting partisan mindset is irreconcilable with my philosophy of governance and my experience of what brings results for Hoosiers in the Senate. In effect, what he has promised in this campaign..."-Lugar
Which is why you have been forcibly retired you sod. -

The people of the Philippines are smiling today. Lugar encouraged the tyrant Marcos to remain in power, stealing from the Philippine people. I wonder if they will ask for him to be tried there.

RINO dealmakers like Lugar are precisely the reason our country owes $16 trillion.
I want more partisanship inside the Beltway.
I would rather lose fair and square than have my own (former) party cut a crappy deal with the other side, in the interests of partisanship, of course, and tell me that it is in my best interests. -

A former resident of the Hoosier state, I was there when Dicky set up "CitiGov" which mushed Marion county government together with Indianapolis city government. Dunno if it was successful, but he was in charge...
That said, he's had 40 some years in Washington. They can and will get along without him. If he couldn't get his agenda done in that time frame, or if, in actuality, his preferred pony-to-ride to victory was hobbled by the changing nature of Missiles and Nuclear stuff, too bad. He didn't keep up, and kept blessing elections in other countries, like his compatriot-in-time, President Goober. Sen Lugar never met a foreign delegate he didn't like.
He also never stood up for anything.
I have to ask why he thought he was so important to the operation of the Senate that he should go back 15 years after he was eligible for Social Security. Most would retire with dignity instead of hanging on until their fingernails were torn from the doorjamb ignominiously{with disgrace}.
