Silent No More Fanatics

This letter goes out to the Silent No More fanatics who think that the money the State of Indiana needs to fix roads, build bridges and fund our public schools grows on trees.
Richard Lugar’s track record reflects nothing more than that of a man who was sent to Washington to fight for the things that are in the best interest of the State of Indiana and what that means is money.
I don’t think that the radicals pressing for Senator Lugar’s retirement really understand what a senators job consists of. A lot of the time it means compromise to get the important bills passed that are required to keep the nuts and bolts of our society up and running.
The TARP act for instance is credited for saving the American auto industry. Without it GM and Chrysler would be out of business, our economy would be in a shambles and millions more people would be out of work. TARP has been considered a resounding success.
Chrysler repaid $10.6 billion of a $12.5 billion loan and recently recorded its third straight profitable quarter, raking in $239 million in Q3.
In regards to the opposition of the DREAM act, Richard Mourdock calls to immediately secure the border and enforce the law. OK and exactly how does Richard propose we do that? Perhaps we could build a 600-mile-long fence and activate what’s left of our overburdened National Guard to patrol it day and night to keep out all the illegal immigrants that small business owners seem to have no qualms about hiring. Where does Mr. Mourdock propose we get the funding to pay for all of that?
You see it’s easy to spout half-witted rhetoric without any regard for what it takes to solve real problems. You can’t have it all and you can’t have any solution to any problem without the funding to support it. Somehow someone has to figure out where we going to get the money to protect the children who need DCS, to fund the public schools that the vast majority of Indiana residents have attended and fix the potholes in the roads we need to drive on to get to work every day.
You see, radical ideology always sounds good in conversation, but has no basis in reality when it comes to what it takes to oversee the necessary infrastructure required to keep American society up, running and competitive.
So before you vote, consider the partisan bickering and gridlock that we have already experienced with the last wave of Tea Party ideologues that have nearly rendered Washington completely dysfunctional and vote for Senator Richard Lugar, a man who is guilty of nothing but doing his job, fighting for the State of Indiana.
