Indiana state treasurer Richard Mourdock (R) fell short in the final stretch of his bid to replace longtime incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) by losing to Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) in today’s general election.
With 65 percent of precincts reporting, the Blue Dog Democrat led the Tea Party favorite 48.3 percent to 45.7 percent.
In a televised debate on Oct. 23, Mourdock said he believes “even if life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.” Dems pounced and Mourdock explained his pro-life convictions.
Unlike Akin, there was no throwing under the bus and NRSC chairman John Cornyn (R-Texas) put out a statement supporting Mourdock — and pointing out that Donnelly is also anti-abortion.
And this is proper. In no way should a bible beating idiot be allowed to be near the levers of power.
You f-tards just won’t be happy until you’re out of power forever. Big Tent, remember? We need social conservatives in the coalition too. Giving them Mittens sure didn’t draw them to the voting booth, did it?
I figured out a long time ago that I can live in social conservative heaven much better than I can in libturd heaven.
Besides, it’s cleaner and the neighborhoods are nicer.
We can also thank the people who voted for the Libertarian candidate. You sent a Democrat to the Senate who will fully support Obama’s statist policies. Hope you’re happy.
In addition to thanking Andy Horning (the Libertarian candidate), please remember to thank Dick Lugar. The so-called “revered statesman” demonstrated he is a small, petty man by his refusal to provide even minimal support to Mr. Mourdock.
David: All we’ve done is replace a Republican in the Senate who fully supports Obama’s policies with a Democrat who will do the same. The only difference is now the senator will have an initial after his name which matches his votes.
