REDD FOXX HEART ATTACK ALERT! Sacbee endorses Lungren, Smacks down Cluelessly Liberal Durston


Lungren opposed the original Bush administration proposal because it gave too much authority to the treasury secretary, had no protections for taxpayers, no limits on executive compensation and no expectation that Wall Street would share costs. But instead of sitting idly, he fought for changes and helped gather votes to pass the measure with a bipartisan majority.

“It has to be bipartisan,” he said, “for gaining the confidence of the American people.” This is leadership. In contrast, Durston sees no urgency and would have voted against the final package.

Durston’s main issue remains immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq. He states that he’s not a “pure pacifist,” but his ultimate goal is to “abolish war altogether.”

Durston shows little inclination to work with others who might not share his views.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that The Bee’s editorial board disagrees with Lungren on almost every important issue. But he is willing to engage on the issues, to make arguments for his side and to build coalitions. With Democrats likely to maintain a majority in the House, Lungren would be important in the role of “loyal opposition” as well as in building bipartisan support for issues of regional importance, such as flood control.

3rd District voters may not agree with Dan Lungren on every issue, but they should send him back to Congress.
