A few hours after conceding, Lugar slammed Mourdock for embracing "groups whose prime mission is to cleanse the Republican Party of those who stray from orthodoxy as they see it."
"This is not conducive to problem solving and governance," Lugar said. "And he will find that unless he modifies his approach, he will achieve little as a legislator. Worse, he will help delay solutions that are totally beyond the capacity of partisan majorities to achieve."
Some effing nerve! The SOB should look up the Federalist Papers and see what the framers had in mind. Dollars to doughnuts they didn't mean for Congress members to sit around smoking cigars discussing what types of legislation should be passed and they sure as hell weren't suppose to be there all year round nor were Senators supposed to be elected by anything other than the state legislatures they supposedly represent.
Rest assured the Founders didn't want new law to pass by easily which is probably why the 16th nor 17th Amendments legally passed. They were deemed to pass by Wilson's SoS.
