Sen. Dick Lugar has a new in the final days of the Indiana Republican primary, going after state Treasurer Richard Mourdock on the issue of cutting Social Security — in a very stark manner that is unusual for a Republican.

“He’s not thinking, is he?” an elderly woman says. “No idea of consequences — what this means to people. He’s gonna ruin people, I mean, some can’t get along without Social Security, every penny of it.
