Richard Lugar gets teabagged

Indiana state Treasurer Richard Mourdock announces primary challenge:
Dick Lugar used to be OUR US Senator.

Now, according to MSNBC, Lugar is “Barack Obama’s Favorite Republican.”

Why?

Dick Lugar voted for Obama’s liberal supreme court nominees — Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

Senator Dick Lugar appeared in a 2008 Obama campaign commercial.

Lugar co-sponsored Obama’s DREAM Act that would provide amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Lugar recently expressed support for banning legal firearms in response to the shooting in Tucson.

Dick Lugar voted against earmark reform.

Dick Lugar helped ram the START Treaty through the lame duck session so that newly elected Republican senators couldn’t even consider it.

Simply put, Obama loves having Republican Senator Dick Lugar on his side. But we Republicans in Indiana need someone who will speak for us. Not Barack Obama.
