John Garamendi Is A Carpetbagger

Well, it looks like somebody with some video chops has followed through on the Progressive Sundae post from way back in April about the Congressional district in which John Garamendi really lives (that would be CA-03).

So why does this matter? I'll just quote from last April's post:

[T]here is a larger and more disturbing question than the mere fact that Garamendi is, at least technically, a carpetbagger. The residents of CA-10 have spent the last 12 years being lied to by Ellen Tauscher. She has pretty consistently told people whatever is convenient for her at the moment, with little regard for the truth. It is one of the things that has turned many of the Democrats in her district against her.

So how does it bode for a candidate, in his freaken announcement of his candidacy, to start bending and twisting the truth? Take another look:

[W]hile he and his wife of 43 years own property and have roots in the 10th District, they are not residents within its borders.

"My front yard is in the district, our bedroom is not."

There's a word for those kind of roots. They're called suckers. Which is, apparently, what Garamendi thinks the voters of CA-10 are.
