Republican gubernatorial nomination hopeful and former congressman Tom Campbell speaks at the Orange County Forum on October 14, 2009 in Irvine, California.

Tom Campbell is under fire for a letter of support he wrote for an old colleague who advocated extreme forms of jihad. California State Senator Roy Ashburn was picked up on a drunk driving charge—and then compelled to admit he is gay, despite votes to deny gay rights. And New York former Rep. Eric Massa has become an unlikely conservative icon, saying the White House forced him out over his position on health care, not his salty language and suggestive behavior with male aides. Which aspects of political bad behavior bother you most? Politicians who act as though they are above the law? Those who contradict themselves? Or, who do not act as moral leaders? Larry Mantle takes your calls.
