Move America forward leaders Deborah Johns and Mark Williams have stooped to new lows.

After John Doolittle’s district director (Gordon Hinkle) and this blogger were alerted to Deborah John’s behavior and question at a recent (10/06/2007) South Placer Republican Women’s Federated meeting – Johns refused to take Hinkle’s call and instead forwarded the voicemail to Mark Williams. Williams dutifully posted the call on his website and of course had to add his own twisted commentary to the “daily rant”.

In the call, Hinkle rightly uses the word ‘appalled’ as in appalling to describe Johns’ behavior. Hinkle has personally delivered three flags to grieving families! John Doolittle has contacted every one of the families in addition to their entire staff following strict protocol regarding this issue. (as further stipulated in the call Williams posted on his site.)

Again, the Kerry-Egland / MAF campaign are playing the “Gold Star Mom” / “Military Veteran” card to try to deny us the opportunity to respond to the obvious lies being spread. They are attempting to play the veteran card to label any critics of them as being anti-military.

Deborah Johns asked Kirk Uhler, Placer County Supervisor who was the speaker at the function why the Local Electeds were doing nothing for the families of fallen soldiers. I spoke with Kirk and he went out of his way to tell me that Johns asked the question in such a manner to include all local electeds in the sphere of criticism.

This would include Ted Gaines and therefore would be consistent with Johns’ support of Kerry-Egland for Congress Campaign.

Johns has repeatedly said in public that John Doolittle doesn’t care about the troops and had publicly lambasting John Doolittle over a page 1 Bee article that misquoted John back in July. (which was later retracted on page 18)

Eric Kerry-Egland is truly the John Kerry of the 4th Congressional.

He talks about Christian values, yet is using lies to try and get campaign traction – in addition to making his service the primacy of his campaign.

I would like the Egland Campaign to find me the passage of scripture that condones betrayal (of John Doolittle) and using lies to run a campaign for office.

Quoting Egland’s opening campaign statement: “I have seen first hand how failures in congressional ethics and leadership have corrupted our government and made our troops, our economy, and our nation more vulnerable.”

Mr Egland – people in glass houses should not be throwing bricks.
