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.

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!

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.

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.
