Today's 48th CD Mailers

I opened my mailbox today after a long day at the office. There were two mailers from candidates for Congress. There was one each from John Campbell and Marilyn Brewer. I guess I will start posting my analysis of these hit pieces errr I mean mailers to my readers. Ms. Brewer's mailer starts with a picture of her with Chris Cox on the front. The next page has a letter from Marilyn to the voters that basically introduces her. She then says that she and Campbell are basically the same on financial and fiscal issues. Then she slams John Campbell for voting to give tuition benefits to illegals. All right Marilyn. Then Marilyn says, "allow me to be blunt - I am a mainstream conservative Republican. My opponent, on the other hand, has aligned himself with the extreme social conservatives". Now that's funny. John Campbell is a lot of things, but an extreme conservative, I wish. The rest of the mailer is just boilerplate stuff how she will represent all people in the district blah blah blah.
Now John Campbell is notorious for his carpetbombing of mailers when he is running for office and I guess he is not going to break that precedent. The front of the brochure has a picture of John with Ed Royce at the KFI show out in Ontario two weeks ago. The idea behind this I guess is to try to neutralize John & Ken's endorsement of Jim Gilchrist by having a big picture of John with a KFI microphone in front of him talking about illegal immigration. The entire brochure is devoted to how tough John will be on illegal immigration. What a joke that is. I go by past voting and track record sir and you are a Johnny come lately to this issue. The other side of the flyer is more BS on how he will be an advocate on illegal immigration. It is actually a great flyer rhetorically speaking, but unfortunately for John, he has already painted himself in a corner on this issue.
