Talk:Richard Lugar

message: I don't think it's terribly likely Senator Lugar's page will be vandalized or edited to be very biased.  Neither side can really complain about him.  He's too old and has been a Republican too long for the right to attack him, and he's too centrist for the left to attack him.  I personally feel he's one of the most rational members of the legislature. --Starkruzr 01:47, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

message: This page needs to be expanded.  Why should Evan Bayh's page be so much larger than Lugar's?--Bedford 16:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mainly because Bayh is more in the public eye, while as Lugar, now, works behind the scenes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.77.204.235 (talk) 19:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I was just about to revert the edit made about Warren County.  However, I decided to make sure and it appears a cock-up by CNN has given the wrong figures and Lugar did win the county. --Davebesag 16:24, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Every time Jay mentions what Senator Dick Lugar says, Jay mentions that he is the only US Senator with a "Pornstar" name! Dick Luger, get it?

message: Can't a better picture be found than one with him talking to an actress?  It seems that a picture of him giving a speech, campaigning, or anything else would be more appropriate and more enlightening.  Meeting with a movie star has nothing to do with politics.--Gloriamarie 16:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Following Ted Steven's guilty verdict, he will likely be voted out of office, and with Pete Domenici not running, Luger (3rd in republican Seniority) will likely become the most senior republican senator.
Should we mention it yet, or wait for confirmation? 78.148.170.152 (talk) 15:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Sen. Lugar's residence is listed as Indianapolis, Indiana yet by the Senator's own admission he has his residence in  McLean Virginia since 1977.  Why is this error not corrected?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.16.130.223 (talk) 19:13, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The section on Agricultural reform is totally inadequate:
"As Chairman of the Agriculture Committee, Lugar built bipartisan support for 1996 federal farm program reforms, ending 1930s-era federal production controls."
More detail should be given. Exactly what were the reforms and exactly what were the "1930s-era federal production controls"?
"He worked to initiate a biofuels research program to help increase U.S. utilization of ethanol and combustion fuels,"
Something should be said about the ramifications (largely negative) of ethanol use as a biofuel.
"and led initiatives to streamline the U.S. Department of Agriculture,"
Exactly what initiatives and exactly what streamlining?
"reform the food stamp program, and preserve the federal school lunch program."
Reform the food stamp program exactly how? ---Dagme (talk) 17:49, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that sometimes the name at the top of the infobox is sometimes different from the page name, using a nickname. Here's an example. It would be appropriate, I think, to change the name at the top of the infobox to Dick Lugar. The nickname was commonly used in the press and I think the change would be apt.
