PORT ST. LUCIE — If you think the back-and-forth between the candidates is getting ugly, presidential politics got downright physical here Thursday evening, according to a report released Friday by the Port St. Lucie Police Department.

The report states that about 7:20 p.m. Thursday two diners in back-to-back booths of a restaurant in the 2000 block of Courtyard Circle in St. Lucie West were arguing about the upcoming presidential election when one turned away and said he “didn’t need to hear it anymore.”

At that point one of the arguers, Johnny Morales, 26, of the 1300 block of Nancy Lane in Port St. Lucie, got out of his seat, grabbed the other arguer by his head “and slammed it into the wall, causing a minor laceration with bleeding to the back of the victim’s head.”

I was talking to a woman the other day. She lives in a large city and she said these people go to the polls and a poll worker questions their registration and they scream and yell at them and intimidate them so badly that they let them go ahead and vote.

They can thank their lucky stars I am not a poll worker. I’d have me a session of target shooting from under the table.

In line with stupid,, ignorant, did you see the post of Howard Stern interviewing people in Harlem? They asked who the people were voting for and of course it was Obama. Then they asked if the persons were okay with Obama's prolife stand, and his choice of Sarah Palin as VP, and his support of the war in Iraq. They all three said they were--didn't even realize the interviewer had transposed McCain's policies and pick to Obama. Honestly, people like this should not have the vote.

So the attacked person could sue Obama because Obama is soliciting violence?

[Hanna548]

Of course not. As despicable as Obama is you can't hold him responsible for the idiot in the restaurant that decided to pick a fight with someone anymore than you can criticize McCain because that woman called Obama an Arab.

Yes, I did, the ultimate evidence of the stupid, ignorant Obama supporter! Sent the video from Howard’s show to my daughter too, she was floored by the stupidity!! My daughter just got into politics this year with her husband deployed to Iraq this year, we both went to the Bethlehem Victory rally, it was great!!

“Honestly, people like this should not have the vote.”

I agree. These people would vote for toilet brush....

[tina07]

Check this link out. Howard Stern interviewed some of the folks in Harlem on why they were voting for Obama:

It would be funny if it weren’t so tragic.

Shucks, I will.

And IF an Obamidiot thug attempts to attack me, there will soon be a thug’s funeral.

“Speak softly and carry a large-caliber handgun” is my motto.

[Lancey Howard]

If I’m asked, I’ll gladly state what I think of that crack-smoking homosexual Muslim street thug from Chicago.
No problem.

[italyconservative]

not at all! You go on and pray for that as well as his wayward thinking!

[GiovannaNicoletta]

our people NEVER fight back.

We're not slaves to our base, animal emotions like democrats are.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Hard to fight back after a sucker punch. The scum are usually stopped by others or run away before the victim can get their senses back. You don't see it reported when a leftist attacks the wrong person and gets creamed but it does happen.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I thought Corsi was to be on Hannity tonight, where did I go wrong?

Corsi got sick. See thread.

Port St. Lucie use to be a sleepy little town about 60 miles north of West Palm Beach.
Somehow the city attracted the N.Y. Mets spring training to come here about 20 years ago and the place has gone to hell ever since.
More like little New York than Florida, so many folks have moved here from there since.
Ya hear news coming out of P.S.L. all the time & none of it any good.

[Joe Boucher]

Pray?
Man ya should have got him in a head lock and ran his head into a wall.

Just kidding, folks are getting pretty fired up aren’t they?

[seemoAR]

They are not stupid. Those attacks are just the first strikes in a war. ;0(

As despicable as Obama is you can't hold him responsible for the idiot in the restaurant that decided to pick a fight with someone anymore than you can criticize McCain because that woman called Obama an Arab.

Help me out. I'm trying to recall the times that McCain has told his supporters to "get in the face" of people who don't agree with them.

[Candor7]

They can thank their lucky stars I am not a poll worker.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Perhaps this is indeed the death of America, for we will not fight to save her at the polls.

People like us are in the minority now.

I expect lots of violence at the polls this time.

[Hanna548]

I guess it depends on how a person takes “get in their face”. How about when McCain says “stand up and fight”. Does he intend for people to go out there and start punching people out? Of course not.

People choose their own actions, no matter what an individual does, doing it is their choice. Lets remember there is still such a thing as personal responsability, even if it seems that most these days want to make someone else responsible for everything from their behavior to providing their dinner.

I want McCain to stand up and fight HARD, and I will stand and fight with him, but I am not going to go punch someone’s lights out, even though the idea of doing so makes me smile.
