Drug the Vote or Punch it?

There is literally nothing I can add to this. It literally speaks for itself.

"A public television debate Sunday night allegedly turned disorderly, leading two candidates in two separate races to file police reports against their opponents. Now those accused are speaking out.

"News 4 WOAI broke the story Sunday night. U.S. Representative District 20 candidates Representative Charlie Gonzalez [a Democrat], Roger Scott [the Republican challenger] and a third candidate had just finished an on-camera debate at the KLRN-TV studio, when the executive producer there says he heard a loud altercation off-camera. That producer told News 4 WOAI the shouting could be heard in the background of another debate already in progress.

"Republican candidate Roger Scott told News 4 WOAI he has filed a police report Sunday night alleging Congressman Gonzalez assaulted him after the debate. 'The next thing I know Charlie Gonzalez, who was sitting next to me, had grabbed my arm and started squeezing it,' Scott said. 'He was like "How dare you question my voting record?" and then "Have you seen my voting record?" I said "Yes, I've seen your voting record and let go of my arm,"' Scott told News 4 WOAI.

The Congressman is obviously confused. Or insane. But definitely violent.

But that wasn't the only brawl.

"Another candidate at the same debate has also filed a report, claiming he was attacked. Republican Jim Valdez filed a police report against his opponent, Democratic State Senator Leticia Van de Putte, the incumbent for the District 26 seat.

"During the debate, Valdez says he challenged Van de Putte about racial allegations she claims another senator made about a year ago. Valdez said Van de Putte was caught off guard by the question and after the debate, he says she pulled him aside. Valdez claims Van de Putte grabbed his clothes and made threatening comments to him.

"'If my son and husband gets ahold of you, you're going to be in trouble,' Valdez claims Van de Putte told him. 'She let go and then turned around and grabbed me by the lapel again and yanked on my tie,' Valdez alleged. 'This time you've crossed the line. When my husband and son get ahold of you, you'll get beaten up,' Valdez claimed Van de Putte told him."

And how about this?

"Remember years ago when National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was a civil rights organization, before it devolved into one of the more hate-mongering branches of the Democrat establishment? Now NAACP has a hit a revolting new low, according to one of its accomplices.

"Chad Staton of Defiance, Ohio, charged with filing 124 false voter registration forms, said he committed the felonies in exchange for crack cocaine from Georgianne Pitts of Toledo, who was working for NAACP National Voter Fund."

There's the 2004 Democratic Party, keeds.

I hope all you donks out there are proud. Might as well be, since you're incapable of shame.
