Here is a related story:

I guess the issue is that he wants to send out his chart with taxpayer dollars, but he was told by a franking committee that he'd have to spend his campaign money.

1. Democrats don't want to pay to send out Republican propaganda
Edited on Thu Jul-30-09 09:35 AM by wtmusic
Maybe Democrats should respond with a chart showing the current morass of healthcare billing and what states have to come up with to provide emergency care for those who could have avoided it by having single payer.

Lundgren is a dickhead.

4. Dog, those people are idiots.
No wonder they are becoming the permanent minority representing the least intelligent voters in this country.

The only thing he needed was an endorsement from Brawndo for his political ad.

5. Democrat Party...
He held up 'Democrat Party', but spoke Democratic Party. I think that was another reason they rejected it, saying there was so such party called the Democrat Party.

7. It's not so bad for Lungren.
This gives him an opportunity to go on a radio show and bawl about how meanypants Democrats won't let him bring the TROOF to the American people. If it's Alex Jones' show, Lungren can go on about how Obama's selling us out to Alpha Centauri.

9. The issue seems to be that he wants to use taxpayer money to mail out...
...the chart, but he was told that he would have to use campaign money or personal money.

11. Doesn't look like they stopped him...
...so much as he ran out of time.

On a completely irrelevant note, can anyone tell if that was Mark Schauer following him?

14. Well I assume you are being sarcasstic. Unfortunately
he is my rep. and a bonafide asshat. He won last election barely by 5% points. But in all reality Lungren is truly a piece of crap. Just attend his town halls and you'll see what I mean. What else can I say? I'm leaving now before I say something really bad, or my blood pressure goes up.

17. I spoke with Bill Durston
at the Garamendi BBQ in May and I hope he chooses to run against him once more. Third time's a charm and maybe the constituency is getting fed up with his crap.

15. Fucking Clowns.
Lying clowns. Stupid clowns. Deluded clowns. Dangerous clowns. Evil clowns, masquerading as representatives of a constitutional republic.
