Birther John Campbell hid under his desk rather than vote today

Hawaii Democrat Neil Abercrombie introduced H.R. 593 "recognizing and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the entry of Hawaii into the Union as the 50th State," and proudly proclaiming that Barack Obama was born there. Although emarrassing birther fanatic Michele Bachmann tried a parliamentary maneuver to delay a vote on an issue that is helping many Americans understand the toxicity and wholesale derangement of the Republican Party, in the endin the House joined all the Democrats to pass it 378-0 . Even Bachmann voted yes.One birther kook-- and only one-- fled from the Chamber to avoid voting: John Bayard Taylor Campbell III, a lunatic fringe wingnut from Thousand Oaks (quite far from his Orange County district). Campbell was one of the sponsors of the "Birthright Citizenship Act," which would require presidential candidates to disclose birth certificates. He avoided voting on the Hawaiian legislation at 6:56PM but managed to vote for the Waco Mammoth National Monument Establishment Act at 7:03PM. It must have been difficult for these Republicans to leave CNN's in house racist Lou Dobbs out to dry. But they are fully aware that there case has no legs whatsoever. It's just part of the partisan game they play and more definitive proof that the rightists would rather see America fail than Obama succeed.Campbell, a former used car salesman and a member of the House Financial Services Committee, is widely considered one of the most corrupt of the younger members of Congress. Lobbyists and corporate CEOs have reason to believe that Campbell will vote for any special interest that will pay him enough money. He's been a 100% in the pocket supporter of the worst of the banksters and Wall Street crooks and in return he's pocketed $863,386 (in just two terms!)These interviews with Republican loons were done before they all voted for the Hawaii resolution asserting that Obama was born in Hawaii. (The imbecile hiding and making believe he was looking at pens for 20 minutes to avoid the interviewer is Pennsylvania freak Tim Murphy.)
