Wow -- must've struck a nerve with a teabagger... Fabulous!

I do not find military service an advantage to public service. In fact, based on modern history, some of our least effective leaders have emerged from the military. This gentleman has painted a portrait as a soldier, and a straight family man.... and a Republican. Yet how many times in recent memory have people who claim such conservative lifestyles and credentials seem to lead secretive and sometimes perverse private lives. When one asserts one's 'purity' in public, for me, this seems to be a dead giveaway regarding something deeper and more covert, if one only pierce the veil of public gauze cloaking a candidate. Though California's lowly legislature has escaped the spotlight of more lurid investigations, the Congress in DC seems awash in such people - David Vitter, who was involved in a prostitution ring whose madam came forth and subsequently 'committed suicide' (conveniently); John Ensign, whose recent affairs and their aftermath are now the subject of grand jury investigations; Larry Craig, and the infamous airport bathroom scene; Lindsay Graham's and Mitch McConnell's 'interesting' Friday night escapades at DC gay bars... and on and on... all to a person touting their 'record' of domestic bliss and 'family values' and all staunch defenders of 'the troops' and our bloated military budgets... I'm sure Mr. Redding is a 'nice guy' -- many Republicans are, a la Ronald Reagan, who was known as our nation's 'amiable dunce', and later proved to actually have been senile... But in and of itself, a military record and an ability to procreate are not qualifications for public service. A record of doing the peoples' business and doing so responsibly, rather than carrying the water for a GOP that merely 'says no' to public need and good in the name of corporate largesse and accommodation, is a predicate to holding such an office with integrity. I'm afraid this gentleman's recitation of GOP talking points coupled with family and military imagery should send big red flags up in the minds of voters for this very important legislative seat...

I don't get what the big deal is... Looks like KJ's crowd making yet another issue out of nothing, just as he did in the campaign against Heather Fargo, blaming her for everything from the mortgage meltdown to world hunger... as if she had responsibility over either issue... This type of campaigning tactic is pathological and stems from the warped personalities of the candidates, in KJ's case, no doubt guided by the likes of Frank Luntz and that crowd of deformed GOP mobsters that twist language worse than any Orwellian nightmare to suit their aims at cynically fooling the voters and playing passive/aggressive with issues like the race card... But, there's a special place in Hell for such people, witness the late Lee Atwater, who confessed his campaign dirty tricks and sins just before he died of a brain tumor that had distorted his cranium and facial features to the point of being unrecognizable from when he managed GHWBush's campaigns of the late 80's and early 90's... I truly believe that people who seek goals by doing harm have a considerable karmic (if not legal) debt to answer for, and KJ and his ilk of urchins are among them... Btw, Rhonda, I hope all is well with your family -- I am far too controlling and impatient to ever have children, but I can imagine the angst and worry a parent sustains should their kids find themselves in harm's way... Take care.....

TYPICAL of KJ's suckups and sycophants -- PLAY THE RACE CARD at every opportunity, as if THAT would curry favor with this DINO mayor.... What a farce this mayor is!!! He should be prosecuted and resign in shame!!!

What's racist about exposing the character and culpability of a candidate or incumbent??? Facts are facts, honey, and it's apparently your side just can't deal with the FACT that KJ is one big fat liability after another -- with no doubt more shoes to drop....
