		<description>&gt; Classy comment by Dave Funk above…

I don&#039;t see anything wrong with it. I know he&#039;s copy/pasting a press release, but it comes across as in the 3rd person, which is kind of annoying. Other than that, nothing wrong with it.</description>

		<description>It did not take long for &quot;Mr. Truth&quot;, or the campaign he works for, to release his salvo of sleeze and lies yet again.  As before, and because he must not know real facts, I will once again repost what I posted before to his fibs:

&quot;When this same issue was brought up two campaign cycles ago, Zaun addressed it head on and discussed in detail his struggles as a small businessman and the sacrifices it took to compete in good and bad times against the Lowe’s and Home Depot’s of the world, and in lean economic times what had to be done to pay employees, keep the doors open, and feed the family, even if some bills had to be deferred. Zaun, who could of taken the easy way out and walked away like so many others do (TARP and government bailouts didn’t exist at that time) instead used sweat equity to pay back every dime owed…and walked in the same shoes as many a farmer, small businessman, union employee and others in this district who faced tough times, yet through hard work came out better on the other side. I, and I will bet you many many others in this district, will be very proud to vote for someone with that kind of life experience who made such a positive of it.&quot;

As for Mr. Truth&#039;s other lies, even bleedingheartland.com today says regarding his wacky posts &quot;I have no idea what he is talking about&quot;.

Time to quit with the lies and fibs and post REAL truth &quot;Mr. Truth&quot;.  Your sleeze belongs somewhere else.  Zaun is a terrific conservative candidate with an outstanding track record as a leader and voting record and many agree.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know anything about Zaun&#039;s personal money problems. What&#039;s the story there?  But as a Democrat I am glad there is a Republican that is willing to support civil rights for gays. Brad Zaun&#039;s vote to protect gays is a good mark in my book.</description>

		<description>Belik, I agree. Bertroche is a joke. Zaun is the mods stalking horse now. Funk and Gibbons are the only social and fiscal conservatives running.</description>

		<description>Mr. Truth - You forgot the wolf in sheep&#039;s clothing Bertroche who supported Healthcare Reform before he opposed it.

I have personally spoken with Dave Funk on a couple of occasions, and heard his &quot;stump speech&quot; several times.  He is the real deal.  He has my support.</description>

		<description>It looks like the polk county moderates have their candidate. Two conservatives with Funk and Gibbons against the mod. How long before Zaun&#039;s home foreclosures and pro gay votes come back to haunt him? And is it Gibbons or Funk that expose him as the Doug Gross mod candidate?</description>
