Senator Richard Lugar's Concession Statement After Losing GOP Primary

His concession statement confirms his conservative principles, and his desire to put public policy over conformity to ideology. The country came first for Lugar over 24 years in the Senate. His statement should raise concerns for our future to all Americans. The electorate has to decide whether it wants government to function by making the normal compromises that are required when one party does not have all of the good ideas, or whether it wants a one party system that is driven by ideology.
