GOP Congresssional candidate Quang Pham has announced his new “Q for Congress” blog, which is accessible from Pham’s website.
The blog will focus on “War, Economy, Education and Healthcare.”
Pham used to blog for the Orange Juice and for Red County. He has also maintained his own blog over the years.
Pham is very knowledgable about war and the military. Here is an except from his bio, “Quang was born in Saigon, the former capital of South Vietnam. His mother taught middle school while his late father, one of the first Vietnamese Air Force pilots trained in the U.S. in the late 1950s, served the entire war. Just before the fall of Saigon, Quang’s father arranged for his wife, three daughters and son to be evacuated by American forces. His father survived the next 12 years in Communist labor/prison camps, euphemistically called reeducation camps. The Pham family was reunited in 1992.”
Pham is trying to win the GOP nomination in the 47th Congressional District, which is held by Loretta Sanchez. He is running against Assemblyman Van Tran, who has zero military experience.
In related news, the O.C. Register had this to say about Tran today, in a new Total Buzz post, “Assemblyman Van Tran has not moved up the national Republican party new candidate ladder along with a bunch of other aspiring “Young Guns” that the GOP congressional committee moved up today from “On the radar” hopefuls to “Contenders.
Q should blog about this issue: The Ethics Committee should also investigate Loretta Sanchez for her scandalous conduct with the military officer assigned to escort her on official government travel. Her adulterous affair with the pentagon escort (which was criminal for him) led directly to his early retirement from the service and divorce from his wife of 25 years. Representatives should be allowed to keep their private lives private, but when they misbehave on government travel with official escorts and destroy a loyal Army family and promising career, there should be accountability. I believe she should be admonished or censured by the House. As the senior woman on the armed services committee, she knew that committing adultery was a court-martial offense for him and a glaring ethics lapse for her. At a minimum it was reckless and harmful to alot of people.
