Congressman Bob Etheridge Is In A Dead Heat
Jun 18, 2010 Political
The Democrat Congressman who assaulted a student is now in a dead heat in his race. The race for the North Carolina Second Congressional District seat was considered safe though expected to be tougher than usual because of the anti incumbent fever in the country.
However, Ehteridge assaulted a college student and the incident, which was caught on video, went viral on the Internet. In the 24 hours following the incident Etheridge’s challenger, Renee Ellmers, raised $24,000 and a flash poll shows her with a 1 point lead.
I can’t understand how this dirt bag has not been arrested for the assault much less how he is even polling close to his challenger. People should be thoroughly disgusted that a a member of Congress would assault anyone, much less a student.
Etheridge bullied a college student who asked him a simple question; “Do you support the Obama agenda?” The response was something one would expect from politicians in Nazi Germany or Venezuela. It certainly was not what we expect in America.
This is the violence Nancy Pelosi was worried about except it is from her side and not the TEA Party activists whose every move is scrutinized by Democrats and the state run media as they look for some act of violence that they can use to paint all TEA Party members as a violent bunch.
But, as has been the case all along, it was a member of the left who acted violently and it was a Congressman, no less.
Etheridge is lucky he picked on a college student who obviously had no desire to counter the attack. Otherwise Congressman Etheridge might have been missing his teeth.
The poll is a good start but this race is a long way from over. Ellmers needs to get permission to use that video and then put it in her campaign ads. The people of North Carolina need to be continually reminded of the thug they have in office and need to understand that it is their duty to show this jackass the door.
I think Congressman Etheridge might want to avoid the 5 martini lunches from now on.
