Republicans In Scuffle After Election Results Arrive
Republicans In Scuffle After Election Results Arrive
November 10, 2005
By DANIEL E. GOREN, Courant Staff Writer

BERLIN -- A rift in the Republican Party escalated into a brawl Tuesday night after election results were in, witnesses and participants in the incident said Wednesday.

David Martin, a member of the Republican town committee, said he filed complaints with the police Wednesday against Robert Argazzi, the father of Councilman Paul C. Argazzi. Martin, 27, claims Robert Argazzi, 67, "went bonkers," lunged over some chairs, grabbed Martin by the throat and threatened to kill him after the Republicans, who had gathered at the Spartans Club on High Street, learned they had been defeated. Martin had abrasions on his neck Wednesday evening.

"Bob got right in my face," Martin said he told police.

"He grabbed my neck, and then he got his fingernails behind my windpipe. I was just trying to push his hands away."

They were counting on continued bribes, kickbacks and graft to support their lifestyle. I would be upset, too.

This guy was told to invoke the Diebold strategy. And, since he didn't, he deserve a licking.

13. Republicans are
Narcissists bullies and sociopaths. They are morally inferior people because of the kind of personality they have.
They can't agree to disssagree with others, they must always be in control of what is said or done!! They can't tolerate losing,they must WIN and they'll fight dirty or beat the shit out of an opponent that 'displeases' until they can appear as winners to them IMAGE IS EVERYTHING because underneath that mask is a seething cesspool of neurotic overdone egoism. It's because they are all SICK,nacissists buillies and sociopaths.

It was great to have the Democratic Mayor be the voice of values and reason. It appears the Republicans are coming unglued at all levels of government, eh?

27. Not So Nice Manners--more excerpts!
Pulled these from the linked story:

David came in the building and started making vile comments to me," Paul Argazzi said. "Vile and disgusting comments about my wife and my mother, which I can't repeat."
...
"People were concerned about my safety, the safety of my wife and my three-year-old," he said. "People were visibly shaken last night because of this guy."
...
"David started agitating us and calling us names, like `whore' and things like that, and people would have wanted to pop him just listening to his mouth," Judy Argazzi said. "He said really nasty things. He told me I was mentally ill."

32. First things First
Maria Shriver is a whore, plain and simple. She makes me sick. Even though her husband is a Republican asshole doesn't make it a good thing for her to accept his radical views. She not only accepts them; she works for them. . . .

Secondly, they can try all they want to reverse Governor Shithead's political fortunes but it's not gonna work. Just do the math. California voters have spoken and they've told him to fuck off. What really is hysterical is watching the Groper trying to patch up things with the Dems after trying to kick them in the teeth with his asinine "special election." He really is as stupid as his fucking movies.

Bob Schrum after the election was stolen last November and Schrum told Kerry not to fight for it because he would look like a 'sore loser'?

43. Argazzi needs a hobby to take his mind off politics.
GOP ad contains "falsehoods"

By Martin J. Waters, Special to the Citizen
Town Democrats charged that Republicans are guilty of "blatant lies" for placing an advertisement in The Berlin Citizen, last week, that the newspaper's publisher said contained "falsehoods."
(snip)

The article in The Herald stated that a member of the Berlin Town Council, who was not identified, said that another person told him that a senior citizen worried about the town's affordability "should either find a new source of money or move out of Berlin."

The statement attributed to Powers in the ad was: "Seniors have no future in Berlin."
(snip)

Dilzer said he was unaware of the ad until it appeared in The Berlin Citizen. The ad was submitted to the newspaper by Robert Argazzi, father of Republican Mayor Paul C. Argazzi, according to Killian.

Robert Argazzi has submitted all the local Republicans' ads to The Berlin Citizen this year, said Richard Lavallee, the newspaper's director of advertising.

Sounds like red-necks in bar-room brawl rather than Christian behavior or good civics.

I'd like to see a Bush/Cheney brawl. The VP has weight, sheer viciousness, and some type of artificial heart thingy. Bushie boy has been exercising plenty, is younger and is a sociopath so nothing would be too low for him! It's a toss-up!!

Lets rumble!
