Senator Richard Lugar, Republican (so called) of Indiana, had harsh words for Tea Party members who criticised his support of the new START Treaty with Russia and his votes in favor of confirmation of Obama nominees to the US Supreme Court.
Talking about how some tea partiers had criticized his support of the treaty, Lugar said, “I’ve got to say ‘get real’". He also suggested that votes against liberal justices would lead to difficulty in confirming conservative judges appointed by Republican presidents.
Wow, no kidding? Does he really think that might happen? Oh, yeah, it has been happening since Reagan nominated Bork. Has Senator Lugar been asleep?
Its pretty clear that Lugar has been in Washington too long. He is one of those "Washingtonians" who lose track of what the people who elected him really want. He "knows" more than "they" do. "They" just don't get it. "They" need to 'get real'.
No Senator, you're the one who doesn't get it. But I have a feeling that in 2012, you just may.

While this isn't a comment per se about your article it is a comment about the START treaty. Before I came to your site, and read this, I wrote something heartfelt about the issue of nuclear weapons after watching the movie "On The Beach". Maybe you should take the time to watch this movie. It may be old but it has a point.
I cannot criticize any treaty that reduces the number of the devices of doom that are presently in existence. This treaty still leaves 3100 of the bloody things in the possession of the USA and Russia. In my opinion this treaty does not go far enough in the reduction of these weapons. They should be completely eliminated from this planet before some idiot presses the wrong button. There are better ways for us to kill each other without taking the rest of the species that live on this planet with us.
