from 48th Congressional District candidate Beth Krom this morning:

Dear Vern,
Last week I took time off the campaign trail to attend a luncheon that featured the entire Orange County Congressional delegation. Since John Campbell has refused to debate me, I figured this might be a chance to engage.
The truth is, John Campbell has been the least accessible, least responsive and least productive member of Orange County’s delegation. While others arrived early to talk with guests, Campbell came late and entered through the kitchen to avoid any interaction with constituents. When the event ended, he was gone in a flash.
During his remarks, Campbell asserted that “When you win the debate, you should win the vote.” If John Campbell believes that, then WHY WON’T HE DEBATE ME?
The truth is, he’s afraid to debate. A debate would mean explaining his opposition to education funding and veterans’ benefits. It would mean acknowledging that he’s missed more than 300 votes, including the vote on the Jobs Bill which he missed to attend a car show in Florida. It would mean defending his position on offshore drilling and his failure to bring one measly dollar back to the district.
In the real world, when you don’t do your job, you GET FIRED. In November, voters will have a chance to show that they will not be taken for granted anymore. We need smart, courageous leadership to move America forward. That’s why I’m running!
If you’re tired of politicians who care more about partisanship than leadership, please contribute $25, $50, $100 or more TODAY!
When I go to Congress, I’ll focus on finding solutions – not whining, finger-pointing and compromising the future of the American people.
Sincerely,
Beth Krom
Candidate for Congress (CA 48)
Beth Krom for Congress
Fat chance this hag beats even this mediocre Congressman.
Of course my mother is worse.
Excuse me, I have to go wank now.
Ouch, ouch, why do I keep hitting myself?
Well put Beth, John has been quite MIA regarding his own campaign….haven’t seen much of him in OC and he should debate…
Maybe he is just afraid to be held accountable for his past BAD Decisions…like the ones leading up to his investigation by the Congressional Ethics Body, hmmmm??

…and his involvement (AKA Blatant Conflict of Interest) regarding Cash for Clunkers and auto dealer amendments: (Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/15/john-campbell-auto-dealers-conflict_n_613692.html).
We have a choice of parasitic dead weight versus a member of the corrupt Great Park board that has burned through over 200 million dollars! If Krom is somehow elected, she WILL divert more federal pork to the Great Pork. Barbara Boxer already came up with 500,000 in porkulus funding for “refurbishing a hangar”. Never mind that Great Pork proponents were adamant that NO TAXES would be required for their billion dollar boondoggle.
How about this district has NO CONGRESSPERSON. Things would hardly be different. The upside is we would not pay Campbell to be welfare collecting slug and we would not have Krom raising taxes and spiking the already astronomical deficit.
Hey NOTA,
You actually DO have another choice for the district. His name is Mike Binkley and he is an honorable man. This whole two party scam isn’t going to hold up much longer my friend. The age of party politics is dead dead dead.
Actually Beth’s description of Campbell’s late and furtive arrival, and quick furtive departure, reminds me of Ken Calvert paying his “respects” at the July 3 San Juan Cap Tea Party.
