Dan Lungren Sweeping Up Endorsements

Seems to me that Dan Lungren has the 3-rd district locked up. Check out the number of House Committee Chairmen who have endorsed Dan.

No more of this loser cheap representation in the Sacramento area. It will be nice to see a real Reagan Conservative representing the 3-rd district, currently held by Doug Ose, thankfully retiring.

Its my understanding that some hillbilly state senator is running, as well as the sister of Doug Ose...so basically, Dan has an easy ride through the primary.

Nice web site he has going too. Anybody know of his opponents web addresses?

Dan Lungren...the name you know! Former Congressman and Attorney General who served on the congressional committees that are important to me, especially, House Intelligence! Personally, am not a fan of the "legacy politics" of Mary Ose & sure don't want a "Do-Nothing" hillbilly taking his loser cheap attitude to the nation! What an embarrassment to the country & our beloved State that would be!

Rico Oller is not a "hillbilly" and he was a lot of support including from 4 conservative congressman

John Doolittle
Wally Herger
Richard Pombo
George Radanovich

plus the Club for Growth

I like Lungren but I prefer Oller. Lungren absolutely doesn't have an easy ride. It will be a close primary between Oller and Lungren.

Mary Ose is a "moderate" like her brother and should come in distant 3rd. That's quite unusual a sister running to replace her brother. I'm guessing this is the first time it's happened.

Wait a second, is this the same Dan Lungren who designed and implemented the California Assault Weapons Ban as California Attorney General??? He's a FREAKIN' gun grabber!

[Clintonfatigued]

Oh, brother! A hillbilly from California? That's the most absurd mixing of slurs since then-RINO Barbara Hafer called Gov. Bob Casey an "Irish redneck from Scranton" in 1990. I don't see statements like that scoring points for Dan Lungren.

[ExSoldier]

Forget the cutsey analogies to benign forms of life. This man is evil to the core. A dedicated liberal gun grabber and just as dedicated to turning the guilty loose. Lungren designed and modified (so it would affect more firearms) and then implemented the most draconian anti-freedom package of anti-gun laws in history.

Forget pontificating on his chances of winning, DO EVERYTHING legally within your power to make sure he never get's elected to any post higher than dog catcher!

If Californians fail in this noble effort to defeat this communist slimebag, you will absolutely get the Government you deserve!

[ogre900]

So let me get this straight. Rico Oller, a random state senator who has accomplished absolutely nothing in 7 years of public service (I looked to see what this guy has done, and he is a total nothing), is a more favorable candidate then a guy who has served 8 years as this states Attorney General, has 10 years of seniority to retain in congress, and has the endorsement of over 20+ Members of Congress?

Seems to me that some "homers" are posting to this message.

The gun issue is an interesting one, and seems to solidify the opinion of Rico being a hillbilly with a hillbilly clan of supporters.

As a Conservative, I would much rather see a man like Lungren providing some high profile juice to a congressional seat that is currently serving no purpose. Rico Oller would be a total rookie with no backing. Doolittle is a nobody in D.C, Herger is a nobody anywhere, and Pombo is hardly a conservative.

So rico has 4 endorsements to Lungrens 20+, which includes 7+ House Committee Chairman. Who gets more done for the seat, Oller or Lungren. No contest.

[jagrmeister]

Lungren is a loser and a step backwards. He got trounced by Gray Davis- lost by roughly 20 points because he wouldn't stop talking about positions that don't play well in California. Arnold showed us the way in California- we have a playbook that works and we should stick to it.

[ExSoldier]

If you support a gun grabber like Lungren, which therefore equals an anti-FREEDOM globalist (I'd love a list of his Congressional supporters--dare ya to post 'em) you're not a "Conservative." Something starting with the letter "c" for sure, but not "conservative."

Have you read the book by freeper Travis McGee? It's called Enemies Foreign and Domestic. I'm sure Travis will be along shortly and post a link for you. I dare you, read the book and see if the man who is the President of the United States in that book or better yet the head of the BATF isn't a good profile of Lungren. Why don't you check with NRA or GOA or heck even the John Birch Society or any other true conservative pro-American (that'll be a NEW experience for you) organization?

Better be careful how you respond to folks known as hillbillies or "Homers." George Washington would probably qualify as a Hillbilly. so would LOTS of our best Senators and especially, military folks who are right now risking their lives for you!

[ExSoldier]

Okay NEW FISH...you've just been "OUTED." Time to pack up your toys and run along before the big kids get here. You've only been registered here on FR for a FEW HOURS. You're a liberal and who knows what else....you need to sit tight and move around the forum before you go shooting your mouth off on topics that are going to draw more FLAMES to you than you can know.

[ExSoldier]

What are you, a liberal committeeman plumbing for votes for this anti-gun communist? You're going to hang in the air like a FART in CHURCH once the real conservative pro-gun folks get a look at you. You can run, but you can't hide on FR. So just run along.

[ogre900]

Is this the best that Oller supporters can come up with? No rational discussion of the issues, no pointing out the obvious differences in what a Lungren vs an Oller does for a House seat?

All i see is random immature postings of "gun-grabber" and "communist" with no logical backing of their petty insults.

I look at the bigger picture, not the short term, and its pretty clear to me that Congressman Lungren gets far more done for the country, and especially the 3-rd district constituents, then some random nobody state senator whose only platform seems to be "i love guns".

Can anybody tell me one piece of significant legislation that Rico Oller has pushed and passed? Is he done whining and crying about being in the minority, or is that his excuse for not getting anything done in 7 years?

Cmon people, give me a break. Its obvious that Oller has his people posting to these boards. Young, simple minded children who cant hold an intelligent discussion of the issues, but bark our rhetoric like there is no tommorrow.

Whatever, i have no patience for ignorance. Thankfully, the people of the 3-rd district are more interested in the big picture then a one show pony like Oller.

[ExSoldier]

"no logical backing....(?)"

How about his FREAKING ANTI-GUN PUBLIC COMMENTS and VOTING RECORD? On this forum, anti-2nd Amendment EQUALS (listen up little boy) Anti-American. I don't live in the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia so this doesn't matter to me except that I don't want another pissant communist like Lungren going anyplace they may eventually do further damage to the republic. I don't know who Oller is but if he ain't Lungren he's got to be BETTER. If he's a "Homer" or a Hillbilly, I like him more.

By the way, little boy, the platform "I love Guns" gave a national election to GW Bush just because it contrasted so sharply with the opposition that states that are traditional democrat strongholds like West-by-God Virginia went for him because they absolutely KNEW that Gore wanted to take their firearms. Just as Lungren HAS ALREADY DONE in California. It's been since the 1870's since a major Presidential candidate has lost his own home state in a general election, but AL GORE LOST his state of Tennessee in 2000 because they voted their guns. This year the Democrats recognize this and see how they're trying to run away from the issue that slays them!

But you know what I'm going to do, just for you? I'm going to copy, cut and paste this entire thread and send it to both my state NRA affiliated 2nd Amendment activists so they can send it to the California counter-parts AND I'll send it to the national NRA Political Victory folks so they can warn folks instead of hoodwink them like you're attempting to do.

[Clintonfatigued]

That's a pretty strong statement. But I don't think that Lungren is going to win this race. He's from Long Beach, while Rico Oller has been winning elections in this area for years. In fact, Oller already represents most of the voters area in the state legislature.

[Dan from Michigan]

The gun issue is an interesting one, and seems to solidify the opinion of Rico being a hillbilly with a hillbilly clan of supporters

That says a lot about you right there.

[Joe Brower]

In the almost twenty years I spent in California, there wasn't a gun-control/gun-ban proposal that Lungren didn't support 100%. From the perspective of anyone who values their human rights, Lungren's poison.

On the other hand, Rico Oller is very much a champion of those rights. Absolutely no contest between the two.

[Travis McGee]

If you think that Americans who believe in the entire Bill of Rights including the 2nd Amd are "hillbillies," then I'll call you a domestic enemy of the constitution, a traitor and coutry club scum.

I don't care if you put a D or an R after your name.

In fact, an anti-2nd Amd Republican is worse than a gun grabbing 'rat, because he's a Quisling. If you don't know who Vidkun Quisling was, google him up. And note well how he ended his miserable life: the same could apply here eventually.

[Impy]

Are you Lungrens' campaign manager or something? If so he should fire you.

What exactly is it that you want Lungren to "get done" for the seat? Bring home more pork? Lungren isn't entitled to the seat cause he held a different California house seat 10 years ago.

Rico Oller is a solid conservative and has been heir appearent to this seat for a while. He is not a "random nobody". He has accomplished things, like getting the repeal of driver's licenses for illegals through the state senate. And he himeself is hispanic and could make a good future statewide candidate.


I'd like to add that Doolittle is a memember of the GOP house leadership (Conference Secretary) and Pombo's voting record is quite conservative.

[ogre900]

Boy oh boy, I sure did hit on the right subject. Rhetoric aside, lets look at some facts. 1. 2nd amendment rights covers much more then the simpleton topics you people are crying about. Supporting the 2nd amendment goes much further then simply "i want to own any and all guns i want". Its fallacious and downright sinister to claim that Dan Lungren is a "gun grabber". Are you people for the rule of law? If so, you have to concede that as Attorney General, Dan did his job? Is this not true? Name a piece of legislation that Dan Lungren has created and passed, himself, that supports your claims. Rhetoric is weak and simple minded. Voters are smarter then that. 2. Last i checked, Dan Lungren lived in the Sacramento area for 12 of the last 15 years, and was the only Attorney General in 100 years to be based in Sacramento. Hmm. Nice try on the Long Beach thing. Facts suck dont they? 3. Members of Congress who return to Congress retain their seniority, which means Dan Lungren will go right back to being a senior member of numerous committees, and will not have to sit around for 6 years before being a "somebody". 4. I wish i worked on Lungrens campaign. Thanks for the compliment. 5. Lets not go overboard on Rico Oller being a favorite of the district. Rico's senate district was redistricted in 2001, so more then 50% of his present district has never pulled a lever for him. So he isnt even common to his own senate district, let alone the 3-rd cd district. You are all obviously staffers for rico. Young, ignorant, with nary a clue about how the world works. Thats fine. Continue to lambast about the gun issue, because that seems to be all you have. <> He was a state assemblyman for 4 years, and has been a state senator for 3 years. Heir apparent for a long time? Now that is funny. Since when are Congressional seats "saved" for specific people? <> Hahhahahaahhaha. 70% of Californians wanted the law repealed, and the vote was 30-0. Hardly a piece of tough legislation that took much to get through. Can you name any REAL piece of significant legislation he has passed in the 7 years he has been in politics? Name me ONE. <>> Hahahahahahahahahhahaah. This is classic. He isnt hispanic. Have a nice day!!

[Dan from Michigan]

FIRST OF ALL - Lungren get's an F from the NRA

He backed the Brady Bill in 88 As AG, Lungren redefined unilateraly what a so called assault weapon is and confiscated several rifles.

1. 2nd amendment rights covers much more then the simpleton topics you people are crying about.

Son, the 2nd Amendment protects all the rest. Read the Federalist papers and get yourself an education.

Name a piece of legislation that Dan Lungren has created and passed, himself, that supports your claims.

Nice spin. Does a stroke of the pen as AG that makes previously legal guns illegal count? Might as well be judicial activism.

Last i checked, Dan Lungren lived in the Sacramento area for 12 of the last 15 years, and was the only Attorney General in 100 years to be based in Sacramento.

Whoa. 12 whole years. How impressive. My Congressman has been here about 30 of his 40 years.

Dan Lungren will go right back to being a senior member of numerous committees,

Like the JUDICIAL COMMITTEE? That's reason enough to vote AGAINST him. We don't need another SCHUMER in judicial.

Thanks for reminding us of another reason to oppose him.

Those that can not trust me with a firearm and not trustworthy with power.
