just keep in the front of your mind the NRA supported Hairy Reed when they call wanting money to "fight" for your rights.

When is Boehner up for re-election? Can we do the same to him?

Here's hoping that idiot Luger doesn't screw us over by voting for that Law of the Sea Treaty. What a freaking disaster. So glad Mourdock beat him.

Here's hoping that idiot Luger doesn't screw us too badly in this lame duck period with that Law of the Sea treaty.

Hopefully, our Tea Party candidate can beat the establishment one here in VA next month. Thanks to lack of media coverage. Many think it's George Allen only on the ballot.

Thank God. Lugar was/is nothing but RINO trash. Thanks for taking out the trash.

Note he said "he left his speech at his apt" -- he has already sold his house and is ready to move to DC!!

Hopefully this is a sign that the Tea Party is still very much alive and that we can look forward to many more victories in November.

A class act. Indiana and America can only benefit from this man being a U.S. Senator.

With this win and the major gains around the country in key party positions by grassroots people, the future looks bright for the next few election cycles. Let's just hope ron paul retires.

Main stream news sources (CBS et. al.) are reporting "Lugar loses primary to Tea-Party rival". Are they that biases that they don't want to mention the winner by name? I can't wait for November: "Barak Obama loses Presidency to rich White Opponent".

...and "Tea Party RIVAL?" implying in some way that Dick Lugar was part of the Tea Party. They get really weird sometimes. They are so out of it.

Feels like good juju! I hope the folks in Wisconsin are paying attention and don't let Walker get away.

Is Walker losing in the polls? I shudder to ask.....

Maybe we better not look too much at the polls. You know they are sometimes used as a propaganda device.

With this win and the major gains around the country in key party positions by the Ron Paul people, the future looks bright for the next few election cycles. Let's just hope there is a country left by then.

And another one bites the dust. I tip my latticed pie lid to Richard Murdock, and to the state of Indiana for nominating him.

The GOP elite still think Palin was the problem in 2008. This proves Palin is the real power broker.

Now we need to defeat the Union Thugs too! Unions had their place when needed back in the day but we don't need them anymore. Union = Mob Thuggery

GREAT win for conservatives in Indiana, and everywhere! Let the wave of conservatism sweep us into November and take the next step to ending the liberal madness, methodically and decisively, grass roots style.
