Dick Lugar blames Tea Party for Reps not controlling Senate

| December 26, 2011

Senator Dick Lugar is facing a primary challenge from Indiana state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, who is backed by Tea Party groups, so Lugar took the opportunity to blame the Tea Party for his party not controlling the Senate according to Bloomberg;

“There were people who claim that they wanted somebody who was more of their Tea Party aspect, but in doing so they killed off the Republican chances for majority,” Lugar said. “This is one of the reasons we have a minority in the Senate right now.”

See, that’s why Republicans don’t control the Senate…the Tea Party isn’t about giving Republicans the majority, it’s about CONSERVATIVES being in the majority and that’s why Lugar faces a Tea Party candidate. He may think he’s conservative, but obviously, the voters don’t.

The Republicans running the Senate was no better for the American people than when the Democrats ran it. If Republicans want the conservative bloc votes, they’d better act like it.

Oops, that was supposed to have been Democrat subversives.
Sorry ’bout that. The sun is in my eyes at this time of day.

Tadpole: You have zero credibility, you’re rude, obnoxious, disrespectful, and your lofty opinion of yourself is shared by no one else. Aside from those things, I’m sure you’re just a swell fella, a prince, in fact, and one day when you grow up you may make grammy proud. I doubt it, though.

Noooo…..it can’t be. Brian is the lone commando who conducted mythical black ops with MeK! Someone of that stature can’t be living with Mommy and Daddy…..

And you. Jonn, are a liberal Democrat, a confused Jew, no doubt. It can’t be fixed, asshole. For you, being a sleaze and an asshole is hereditary and genetic. (sigh) You’ll always be a creepy oser.

Color me shocked, an anti-Semitic, rude, profane jerk, masquerading as a Repub. Brian is no more a Republican, or conservative, than MarKos Moulitsas or Keith Olbermann.

They do all manage to out themselves, with no understanding at all just how amusing they are.

Frankly Opinionated

Full assessment is in. Target is insignificant, of no value, save ammunition, do not engage. Out.
