The backstory for this post, that is.
Dick Lugar (or one of his toadies) has dropped by our corner of Hoosierland to let the world know that the Lugarites are still really ticked off about losing the GOP primary. Read the comments from “Guest,” it would appear that Obama’s favorite GOP Senator thought Indiana owed him a job for life. (Nevermind he had already outlived most tools his age and nevermind he had been in the Senate longer than 95% of most Senators.) Dick’s apologist appearing here under Guest seems like the kind of person who would sneak in your house and leave a bunch of dead bunnies in her/her wake.
Speaking of bunnies, Linda Zimmerman is the Everready Bunny of profamily causes in NE Indiana. Linda and her hubby Max are recent award winners (from Cathie Humbarger’s Right to Life) for their decades of local activism, and the Zimmermans have the inside track on the replacement of Dick Lugar.
Here is what Linda wants you to know about the fall of Obama’s favorite RINO Senator:
I would like you to know these FACTS: #1: More than 1/2 of the Indiana Republican Central Committee members ASKED Mr. Mourdock to run for the U.S. Senate AGAINST Lugar in the Republican Primary without conferring without each other. Lugar was ASKED to retire and he would not. #2: The Republican party was so sick of Lugar’s voting record and not coming back to Indiana (He has not lived here since 1977) that over 70% of the Indiana Republican Party County Chairman PUBLICLY endorsed Mourdock on the day he announced he was running AND more than that backed him behind the scenes. #3. In the Indiana REPUBLICAN Primary Richard MOURDOCK received more than 61% of the votes while Lugar got a little under 39%. There is plenty of reason Lugar was rejected FINALLY. He USED to be a good, conservative, REPUBLICAN Senator, but has not been for years. Mr. Mourdock IS a grassroots Conservative REPUBLICAN who did not NEED to be a Senator, but felt he was qualified and even though he was ready to retire after working 30 years in private industry as a geologist, serving two terms of county commissioner (refusing to run for a 3rd term because he DOES believe in term limits, and serving in his second term as our State Treasurer, being 61 years of age, was set for life…but he cares enough for his country and his state to serve WHEN ASKED! So, Mr. guest, if you want to retain the Senate in the Democrats hands and KEEP Harry Reid as the Senate boss, go ahead and vote for anyone else OTHER than Mr. Mourdock. But if you like the idea of firing Harry Reid, and if you trust the REPUBLICANS in the State of Indiana, you should put aside your sour grapes and support Mourdock with your vote. What do you care about most?
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!
Way to go, Linda! Perfectly put!
Ransom, I had to catch-up with what you were talking about. You should link your original post to this one, like this.
Thanks GF, done.

Better a toadie for a strong leader in Indiana than to run the whole GOP bus over him! I am so not alone! It is just guys like you Bryan Brown who make moderate Republicans honestly consider becoming conservative Democrats!
Dear anonymous Guest (so brave you do not even sign on with an email) … yes, I know your kind. Been locking horns with RINOS like you my whole life. You are the type animal that refused to vote for McCain/Palin due to Palin, and handed Indiana to Obama in 2008. Nice work there, gutless Guest The One was your "strong leader" in that choice. Guess Obama was your conservative Democrat in 2008. You voted for him to protest the Right and prove you were not a racist. Who will you vote for to prove you are not a moron? Donnelly, and thus hand the Dems the Senate? No, that would again prove you to be a moron, the kind who evidently does need a strong leader to tell you what to think.
As I already said I have voted straight ticket Republican since 1980 but I am not voting for your tea party poster boy Mourdock! Guest happens to be the name that I choose to use at this time. As to the rest of your wasted words, it is further proof of your cowardess, paranoia and relentless attempt to make yourself not look as insane as you are publically known to be.
Thanks Guest, so I make sense when I speak for myself, you say? Stop listening to what the Left says about me ….. they hate me for reasoning having nothing to do with crazy and everything to do with political correctness.
man up, Guest …. we have Republic to save, and friends of Obama are not with us in that goal.
Check it out, Guest above claims to have voted straight GOP tickets since 1980, but just cannot go Mourdock! I have a theory as to why this Guest refuses to leave an email, wants to be completely anonymous…… this guest is a DEMODCRAT shill trying to give loyal GOPpers a path to Donnelly. I mean, think about it ….. every other GOP candidate since 1980? really? So if this Guest is accessing from Fort Wayne, then this Guest voted for Kelty, but not Mourdock. Voted for Palin, but not Mourdock. Voted for Bush when Clinton and Perot were alternatives? DANNY — is this Guest accessing from the Fort? If yes then I am prepared to call the Clue packet — if so this anon guest attacking Mourdock and me personally is a DEMOCRAT shill, without a doubt. I would guess Aboite from the News Sentinel website is who we are reading as Guest.
Yes, from Fort Wayne on a Frontier connection, but no way to know anything more specific.
The trolling guest will be disappointed when he comes back. For now, he'll have to get an account before posting again.
