Lugar's Pack, Other Republicans
Help Democrat Michelle Nunn

If one ever needed proof that
establishment Republicans and Democrats amount to one party rule in Washington, look no
further than this story.
Former Republican Senator Richard Lugar’s leadership political action committee, The
19th Star PAC, sent $5,000 on Dec. 12 to Democrat Michelle
Nunn, who will face the winner of the Republican primary for Richard
Shelby's seat. Shelby, a Republican, is retiring.
Nunn also received a donation from another
Republican, former Virginia Senator, John Warner.
Lugar's PAC has also been busy in some
primary races, backing establishment Republican candidates, of course. Some
might suggest this is simply more proof that many long-in-the-tooth
establishment Republicans have more in common with their Democrat colleagues in
Washington, D.C., than they do with the GOP's conservative base.
Lugar’s PAC also made donations in
November and December to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky,
Minority Whip John Cornyn of Texas, Lamar
Alexander of Tennessee, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Susan Collins
of Maine, Mike Enzi of Wyoming
and Pat Roberts of Kansas.
All were facing challenges in the
Republican primary at the time of the donations. Enzi challenger Liz Cheney
dropped her bid today.
