More Republican sex scandals--Ralph Hall (TX)

[Horse with no Name]

I hope this dog has legs.
I have heard about the sex trade in the Mariana Islands and know that our government looks the other way, but many Republicans have "vacationed" down there.

I just want to know one thing? Why the hell does a political scientist say that stating the truth is negative political campaigning? Methinks he is a little biased. I wonder what his opinion of the swiftboating of John Kerry was?
(BTW, Glenn Melancon has posted on DU)

A candidate running for U.S. Congress has alleged that longtime incumbent Congressman Ralph Hall has been paid to cover up child prostitution and forced abortions — a charge which Hall vigorously denies.

Glenn Melancon, D-Sherman, also accuses Hall of publicly attacking a rape victim.

A postcard being distributed by the Melancon campaign reads: “When investigators discovered child prostitution and forced abortions on the Mariana Islands, Congressman Ralph Hall was paid for covering it up and publicly attacking one of the raped children.”

Lenchner, who said he would not comment on Melancon’s allegations because he’s not familiar with them, said any statement, whether it is true or not, attacking another person, is considered negative campaigning.
