So, let’s get this straight. Ammar Campa-Najjar, in a real dogfight with Darrell Issa for the 50th Congressional seat, sat down several days ago over drinks for an interview with Defend East County (DEC), in an attempt to show his supposed conservative side.
Then, after being beaten up badly for it by the mainstream media and the local Democratic Party chairman, with rumors of walk-outs by several of his staff and volunteers, he then back-peddled, calling his meeting with DEC an error in judgement. Campa-Najjar at the very least implied DEC was full of racists and white supremacists.
So much for creating any new friends there.
Then, this morning, he literally posted this on the DEC Facebook page, complete with photos, resulting in an onslaught of reactions:
“Don’t forget who was there during the #ValleyFire, it was DEC and East County residents like me and others. Actions speak louder than words.
“Yes, I got my hands dirty. Where was Issa during all this? Phoning it in doing interviews and nothing else. The only reason he ever showed his face here is because I dared to first — remember that. I’ll always be here for us, always have been. #EastCountyGrit”
So, maybe Campa-Najjar really is everything Issa claims.
Maybe he can’t decide what he is.
Or, maybe the voters will have to decide for him.

What’s important in this race is that this hard core progressive has a chance to win in a district that is rock-solid conservative. It shows how far left CA has moved. Things will only get worse.
My advice to CA folks right of center? FLEE the Golden State! I write about the other state options a lot. My family situation precludes us moving — for now.
I joined a Facebook group “Leaving California” maybe 14 months ago. It had about 600 members.
Today it’s pushing 28,000 members. Not surprisingly, the overwhelming majority on this board are libertarians and conservatives — many of whom have already left. The departees have nothing but good things to report about their decision to abandon California.
