Fox News' Chris Wallace Takes A Little Look At California Congressman Ken Calvert

It's a mistake to just think about Calvert's arrest record for having sex with a young heroin addict in a parked car in a park as the main reason he's widely considered one of the half dozen most corrupt members of Congress. Remember, Calvert came to Congress as a real estate speculator and swindler, the theme of Fox News' report above. If you live in Southern California it's especially important that you watch it, since his shenanigans are almost typical of GOP members and far more serious than anything Charlie Rangel is being accused of. Short version: he buys nearly worthless properties in the middle of nowhere, then earmarks taxpayer money for highways and other improvements-- exactly what Denny Hastert and Jerry Lewis were infamous for doing-- then sells the land for a hefty personal profit. Republicans don't see anything wrong with this. Do you?

Blue America has endorsed Calvert's progressive opponent, Bill Hedrick, and right now we're running a little contest looking for the most despicable Republican to put in our next There's A Republican For That ad. Calvert hasn't gotten very many votes. But he deserves some. Please watch the video above and see if you want to vote for Calvert as the worst Republican around.
