I was surprised by the content of Bernice’s blog today; one that was obviously spoon-fed into John Campbell’s mouth; comments that did not sound like him. But, if he wants Bernice to use him in the same manner in which President George Bush used him for the past 8 years, then be my guest. If they would like for the campaign to start right now, then by all means, let us begin.
John and I got into politics within the city of Plainfield at around the same time. Yet there is not ONE thing that John Campbell can show for himself in the realm of improving the quality of life here within the City of Plainfield; except for taking advantage of people who trusted and believed in his leadership. I have worked with Republicans in Trenton on different issues that got the ball rolling in moving our State in the right direction when it comes to quality of life issues.
I in fact see the scheme of John Campbell and his cohorts, one that is set on dividing the Black vote here in the City of Plainfield. This type of behavior reminds me of the type of emasculating attitude that those in command of slave ships used to turn their captives against one another (similar to that of the Willie Lynch Syndrome). However, the proud voters of this city were not ignorant of these sorts of devices; for when they saw not ONE New Democrat, NOR John Campbell participating in our local campaign effort for Senator Barack Obama, they KNEW there was a separate agenda. Even then, that did not stop the voters from generating over 15,000 votes in support of Sen. Obama!
It is now obvious that the 1,000 votes Bernice and John Campbell got for the McCain/Palin ticket procured the agenda of soliciting sour grapes. Moreover, if John Campbell and a handful of New Democrats in this city did not get the message on November 4, 2008, then there need to again, look at the numbers. Where as the leader of the Democratic Party here in the City of Plainfield, we gave Senator Obama the numbers that everyone across the State was proud of.
So then, I am not surprised that the Bernice/Campbell team is upset, when they could only deliver less than 10 percent of the votes here in Plainfield, for the McCain/Palin ticket. We have registered over 5,000 new voters in this city alone, and these individuals are not at all interested in John Campbell cooking them fried chicken the night before the elections (which is a ritual of his). No, they are interested in solutions to their problems, like education, job opportunities, health, and quality of life issues.
He and the New Democrats run the school district in Plainfield; but what have they done? The last time I checked in the newspapers regarding the issue of our school system, there was a community group that gave the school district all F’s!
John Campbell had his day, and it is plain to see, politically, that his efforts are flawed. Once he leaves the borders of Plainfield, John Campbell is a question mark in the political arena. My answer to that question mark is that he is just another George Bush: where Bush has brought major harm to this country, John Campbell has brought major harm to Plainfield’s political arena. Your tricks are not going to work this time John.
PS: Moving forward, I have no interest in getting involved in gutter politics in this election. With that said, the voters on Election Day have two choices. If they feel I have not done my job correctly, or enjoyed my work as a Legislator, then make your voice heard. But, if anyone chooses to cross the line with slander or libel, I will have no problem meeting you in court, and letting the judge decide if some of your negative comments have crossed the line.
