August 12, 2010 (El Cajon) – In the 52nd Congressional District, Democratic candidate Ray Lutz is dishing up a new campaign tactic: a hunger strike. He hopes to convince Rep. Duncan D. Hunter to participate in a series of debates before absentee voting by mail begins. “Until Hunter steps up to the plate, I’ll be stepping away from the dinner plate,” Lutz said in a press release.

He added, “Starting this Thursday, August 12, I will refuse to eat until he agrees to debate. I hope my sacrifice will make him realize the community expects him to take their issues seriously.”

Asked for reaction to the Lutz announcement, Hunter campaign spokesman Dave Gilliard quipped, “We hope someone sneaks him a Twinkie.”

Now THAT is how you respond to such an idiot.

I never have understood the whole hunger strike thing.

Another proper response would be to imitate Powers Booth’s character in “Tombstone” and say,

“Well, die.”

here’s the new slogan: Lutz is nutz

[J Edgar]

I’m sorry, but I truly believe that Rep. Duncan D. Hunter owes the voters an opportunity to see a debate.

Thorazine suppositories, now that is fun for the whole family on a Saturday night.

Good.
While you are at it why not drink some Drano to keep yourself hydrated.

I’ll bet he was one of those snotty little kids who held their breath when they didn’t get their way. lol

I hope my sacrifice will make him realize the community expects him to take their issues seriously.”

I live in and am a member of that community. People like and respect Hunter just as they did his father and they know he takes issues seriously. This Lutz clown has no chance of winning and he knows it, thus this stunt.

Around here Lutz and his candidacy are a punchline.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Ideally, yes, but Lutz is a few twinkies short of a whole package.

[trisham]

This tactic is nutty.

The Hunter Campaign's response should be "ha ha ha ha!".

Find out where he's hanging out and fire up the grill. Position upwind and make sure the steaks are smokin’ and sizzlin’.

Remember. It is ramadan. getting into the spirit with the “leader” of his par-tay.

[J Edgar]

Thanks for the insight.

[Slings and Arrows]

That’s the best route for Dims - gets the medicine in closest to their brains.

He added that the summer recess for Congressional members has been cancelled and said the Congressman has been called back to Washington until early October. “We’ve already told him [Lutz] that we would debate in October when Congress is out of session.” Session could extend into the first several days of October, Gilliard noted.

Sounds like Rep. Hunter not going to have a lot free time for campaigning until October.

Mr Lutz can blame Nancy P for this. Or thank her.

BTW has this ever happened before in a election year except in cases of national emergency?

[mckenzie7]

Does this have anything to do with ramadan?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Always happy to help. :-)

[fieldmarshaldj]

C’mon, you’re pulling my leg. Everybody knows Democrats don’t have brains, silly.
