Lugar is a foreign policy expert with an extremely solid track record. His conventional and nuclear disarmament work has directly made this nation safer. Both parties agree on keeping weapons out of the hands of our enemy, and as a true statesman Lugar didn't let partisanship get in the way of getting things done. Its completely idiotic to replace proven competence with nothing but rhetoric, but that is way our country is going to its detriment.
It's amusing watching a part of the GOP actively give a senator who kept the country safe the boot.
The Tea Party just increased America's risk of being hit by a nuclear weapon sent via a terrorist.
Who the hell is left to ensure the Nunn-Lugar CTR is being enforced?
To those with decent foreign policy experience, it's a very odd trend to see the GOP campaign to make the country less safe.
