I agree with the protesters. I wish I could have been there today but I had to work.
I'm self-employed, lost my home to foreclosure and have no health insurance. I'm fed up with having to pay for Lungren's health insurance and pension when I have none of my own. He needs to vote to have the rich pay their fair share. I will definitely not vote for Lungren.

Laurie Comstock: You chose to be self-employed which means benefits are expensive. Maybe you should make better life decisions. I'm assuming that you're complaining about paying taxes which you associate with Mr. Lungren's health insurance and pension; however you fail to understand that Mr. Lungren's policies are those in which you would benefit as a small business owner. Having the rich pay their "fair share" simply means you want universal health care, but maybe you should consider the implicatiosn of this AND perhaps you should consider you small business efforts as well. Sorry for the rant but ignorant, uninformed voters like you annoy me to no end.

The three people - look like they are under 20 years old and are either light skinned black - orRead More Hispanic - travel together often around Percival, Firelight and Caldera. They have also stolen a flip-phone - then asked for $20.00 when they returned it.

The Marks of this world are too blind to facts to bother arguing with. He thinks 4 generation ofRead More welfare and more people on food stamps then ever before in history is progress! What's the point acknowledging such absurd nonsense? Don't bother Roberto, complete waste of effort.

Nobody likes debt or an economy that is limping along. Obama has done an admirable job consideringRead More what he's had to put up with. The deficit has been reduced considerably. Stock market is as high as ever. Unemployment is still a big problem. Thank God we still have food stamps to help those people who have lost their jobs. Our bridges are falling apart. How about we invest in fixing our crumbling infrastructure, get those people back to work, get them spending, stimulate this economy. Oh, that's right, if Obama is for it, the opposition will automatically be against it (even if it's their idea!) .

Here we go - perfect example of a blind koolaid drinker. Listen to this: "The deficit has beenRead More reduced considerably" REALLY, then why has it doubled in the last few years? What planet are you from? "Thank God we still have food stamps to help those people who have lost their jobs." then "Obama has done an admirable job"....HELLOOOOOO! You can't have it both ways. My god we are lost if this is the mentality that is voting now - totally lost. I wish these types were routed out of the gene pool when things were tough and they would simply perish from stupidity. Now days thing are so easy they thrive and reproduce. Watch in 10 years how GREAT things are, just watch.
