Standing on principle is a binary operation; you either are or you aren't

This statement from Lugar following last night's trouncing speaks volumes about the hollowness of Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome.  I mean, he couches the whole activity of maximizing the number of conservatives in government as somehow undesirable, and yet claims that he is solidly right of center?

  1. Lifelong Demo me, never personally considering myself a freedom hater in any regard but certainly the target of some freedom haters who dictate what substances I cannot legally bodily ingest and who threaten other consensual behavior I might choose to engage in, well, I always appreciated Senator Lugar's restraint when it came to infringing upon other peoples' freedoms in the form of serious bodily harm or death resultant pursuant to their Godly existence as human beings residing in a jurisdiction considered enemy territory by other types of freedom haters within our boundaries and therefore his purvue as a freely elected senator from the Great State of Indiana who deem their existence anathema to what they construe as "aren't" to their "are." Some are and some aren't. Guess there's no in-between.

    If he decides to become a 3rd Party candidate I will vote for him. Either way, your "are" candidate will become an aren't as far as the US Senate seat from Indiana is concerned, because Lugar's presence on the ballot will draw those who aren't in agreement with your ilk and decide to draw votes from your man who (is) what you are and what you are you are so sure those who aren't aren't.

  2. Don't underestimate the level of alarm that the vast majority of Americans feel over the prospect that this regime may get to finish its project.

  3. The wife of a long time friend, a retired mathematics teacher at a high end high school in northern Indiana questioned why guys like Mourdock and you won't compromise. She says, why would we want to elect people who will stand their ground against other ideas? What does that mean to those with other ideas? Or something like that....
