John Campbell Is A Clusterf*ck Of Miserable Failure

If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen some of the lamenting I've done in the past about nobody making a primary challenge to my congressman, John Campbell.

Since ascending to Congress from the California State Legislature in 2005, Campbell has built up a voting record that is decidedly at odds with the conservative reputation he'd like everyone to believe he possesses. In addition to voting for the Wall Street bailout (aka TARP), Campbell was the only congressional Republican against limiting the salaries and bonuses of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives. Campbell further voted for an increase on the limits of Fannie and Freddie home loans, helped Democrats in Congress beat back efforts to effectively repeal the anti-business Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and voted to overturn the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

John Campbell is also notoriously known to be an "absent congressman" who seems to only show up in the district whenever he makes a call-in appearance to the Hugh Hewitt radio show. I myself have never gotten a response from Campbell about the emails I sent to his office regarding the need to reform the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Given all of his shortcomings as a congressman, it's unsurprising that John Campbell failed to get endorsed by the Orange County Republican Party Central Committee this past February. From this news, I was delighted to learn that a primary challenge was being made to Campbell by a fellow named John Webb, a former Marine and police officer.

I'm not sure how realistic it is for John Webb to win in June, because even though the local GOP establishment isn't backing Campbell, I'm sure Campbell is getting a lot of money from the elected establishment in DC. Nevertheless, I'm voting for John Webb, and if you too live in the newly drawn 45th congressional district of California, I would encourage you to do so as well.

So A White Guy Walks Into A Polling Place Claiming To Be Eric Holder...

Unless you pay absolutely no attention to any news whatsoever, Eric Holder is the Attorney General of the United States. He is President Obama's appointed head of the U.S. Department of Justice, which is basically responsible for enforcing all Federal criminal and civil rights laws. And like President Barack Hussein Obama, Eric Holder is black.

No doubt at the direction/approval of Obama, the Dept. of Justice under Eric Holder recently struck down laws in the states of South Carolina and Texas which would have required voters to show a valid photo ID before they could receive a ballot. These sensible laws were blocked by the DOJ on the unsubstantiated rationale that they illegally deterred racial minorities, Hispanics in particular, from voting.

As the below video reveals, it seems Eric Holder also doesn't think requiring a valid photo ID does anything to prevent voter fraud from occurring. Indeed, Holder doesn't even seem to think there is a voter fraud problem. He is, of course, proven horribly horribly wrong:

 

Update: An unnamed DOJ official weakly dismisses as "manufactured" the voter fraud exposed in the above video. h/t
