'Tea party' group backs challenger to Indiana's Senator Lugar

Given that nearly every teabagger-backed candidate has lost in nearly every election I expect history to repeat itself again when whoever the Democratic senatorial candidate is handily wins Lugar's seat.

I'll also bet that Obama will probably win Indiana again in 2012 thanks to the teabaggers.

1. the mice that roar!

i fail to understand why republicans who should know better cater to these fools.

a local house critter told a very small group of local tea party folks(all 5 of them) that he was in favor of not taxing the rich. these teabaggers probably did`t have enough money between them to buy lunch.


lugar is`t conservative enough for the teaparty? well it is Indiana....:rofl:
