Thank You Senator Lugar


Legislators should have an ideological grounding and strong beliefs identifiable to their constituents. I believe I have offered that throughout my career. But ideology cannot be a substitute for a determination to think for yourself, for a willingness to study an issue objectively, and for the fortitude to sometimes disagree with your party or even your constituents. Like Edmund Burke, I believe leaders owe the people they represent their best judgment. 
Too often bipartisanship is equated with centrism or deal cutting. Bipartisanship is not the opposite of principle. One can be very conservative or very liberal and still have a bipartisan mindset. Such a mindset acknowledges that the other party is also patriotic and may have some good ideas. It acknowledges that national unity is important, and that aggressive partisanship deepens cynicism, sharpens political vendettas, and depletes the national reserve of good will that is critical to our survival in hard times. 
Prepared Statement of Senator Richard G. Lugar on the Concluded Indiana Senate Primary - May 8, 2012

  6. I don't leave a lot of responses, but after looking at through a few of the remarks on this page "Thank You Senator Lugar". I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright.

    Could it be only me or do a few of these comments look like
    they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on other online sites, I would like to follow you.
    Would you make a list of the complete urls of your social pages like
    your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
