He says all the right thing to look reasonable and then gives cover later. He is the worst. At least the Delays and Coburns and Santorums are honest about their right-wingery. #8 How is Spectre not objectionable? He says all the right thing to look reasonable and then gives cover later.

He responds to me emails. He even responded to my demand Bush and Cheney be impeached, disagreeing, but hoping we could work on issues we agreed on. The problem is, and I never fail to point this out to him, every vote he has cast that enabled the invasion of Iraq, and destruction of the Constitution, and the facilitation and legitimization of torture and suspension of Habeas Corpus, is his responsibility, he has repeatedly and unrelentingly enabled the most corrupt, henious administration in our history. I ask him in every email when he is going to have enough, and start voting for American and Americans, not the Bush crime cabal. Lugar is my Senator too. He responds to me emails.

Lugar is my senator as well. And he does vote party lines even when it's painfully obvious he shouldn't. But, he <i>has</i>earned some bipar. cred. recently by supporting a Dem mayor in Indianapolis and the mayor's plans to reorg. local gov't. The Indiana House won't allow the change because it would spell success for the Dem. mayor. Not good when it comes time for the mayor to run for governor. Dan F. is also correct that Lugar's staff responds quickly to E-mails and requests for info. I’ll agree with Dan F. Lugar is my senator as well.

So, not only they are pandering for votes in Nov. 2007, they are also trying to hang on to policitcal life as they know it. Remember, there is Presidential elections in 2008 and another round of congressional elections in 2009.
