80 year old Lugar who's been in Washington 35 years.......give me a fucking break......I can't believe Indiana returns this jerk to the Senate.

Urgent Message from Steve Forbes

Dear Fellow American:

I’m writing to you about my friend, Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock, who is in a watershed race for the U.S. Senate.

Treasurer Mourdock is running against Dick Lugar because the Senator has simply lost touch with core conservative principles.

In fact, Dick Lugar has worked so closely with President Barack Obama that MSNBC called him Obama’s “Favorite Republican.”

It’s time to retire Dick Lugar.

I’m throwing my full support to Treasurer Mourdock because it’s evident a new generation of fresh leadership is needed to clear up the mess created by “Republican in Name Only (RINO)” politicians.

As Treasurer of Indiana, Richard Mourdock has proven himself to be a principled, no-nonsense Republican leader, a champion for conservative Republican values.

As a personal favor, I’m asking you to support Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock’s campaign for the U.S. Senate quickly and generously.

Please read Richard’s urgent request below.

Thank you in advance for helping conservatives across America win this battleground race for the U.S. Senate.

Steve Forbes

Fellow Conservative,

Senator Dick Lugar (R-IN) really stepped in it. Senator Lugar starred in a 2008 Obama for President commercial, voted for both bailouts, and had the gall to praise gun control.

Conservatives are furious.

That’s why the Weekly Standard says, “The list of organizations that have endorsed [Richard Mourdock] reads like a Who’s Who of American conservatism” (3/5/12).

With less than 20 days to go before the Indiana Republican Primary for U.S. Senate, I need your urgent help to combat Dick Lugar’s warchest.

The $15 trillion national debt is the focus of the 2012 campaign. How can Republicans expect to take back the Presidency and the U.S. Senate with nominees like Senator Dick Lugar who regularly break ranks with our party to vote for fiscal train wrecks like the bailouts, earmarks, and illegal immigrant amnesty!

Hi, this is Richard Mourdock. I’m the Indiana State Treasurer and a conservative Republican.

We have built a grassroots campaign in Indiana with thousands of volunteers and donors.

It’s paying off. The polls show us within 6 points of Dick Lugar.

But, with 36 years in D.C., Senator Lugar’s loyal Beltway allies hope to bury our campaign beneath millions in contributions and Super PAC ads. It’s something even the most energized campaign cannot overcome without support from conservatives around the nation.

Will you donate $35, $100, or even $250 to help us retire Obama’s “Favorite Republican”?

Thank you for standing with me to defeat an incumbent liberal Republican.

Sincerely,

Richard Mourdock
Indiana State Treasurer and Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate

P.S. The Washington Post sums it up. This race is "The biggest Tea Party-versus-establishment contest of the [year]." We have a chance in Indiana to upset an incumbent liberal Republican Senator. Get involved today.
