Lugar loss has lessons for Republicans, Democrats

 VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) - Veteran Sen. Richard Lugar's loss in the Indiana GOP primary provides warnings for President Barack Obama and his Democrats as well as Mitt Romney and fellow Republicans six months before the November election.

 "...Ultimately, it was Lugar's efforts to cross party lines and his longevity in Washington - two issues that tea party-backed challenger Richard Mourdock used against him - that proved too much for Indiana Republicans...."

 Not the first time I've wondered about the idiocy of Indiana Republicans.  I respected the The Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program and I respected Senator Lugar's ability and willingness to work with Democrats. The gridlock in DC is so destructive for the American people.
