During the campaign, Dick Lugar chose the low ground of a negative, smear campaign against Mourdock.
But Mourdock campaigned on principles. Those principles include:
- small government is a better government for the people
- you know what to do with your money better than government
- free markets keep people free
- our national security depends upon preserving our national strength
These are clearly stated Republican Party principles, and Richard Mourdock speaks passionately about them.
Hoosiers: When was the last time you heard Dick Lugar speak passionately about anything besides getting Federal funding for some project that supposedly "benefits Hoosiers"?
Some people think we "hire these guys to go represent us in Washington DC." These are the people who think Congressmen are lobbyists who are there to grab Federal money for special interests.
Other people think "we elect representatives to Washington." These are the people who think Congressmen are elected by their peers to represent them in a Federal legislature.
On that level, the difference between Lugar and Mourdock could not be clearer.
