Wow. You can’t make shit like this up.
It looks like the crowded field for the Democratic nomination for Senator in Maryland just lost one candidate.
David Dickerson is one of 18 Dems seeking the nomination. But he was arrested by Baltimore County police on Saturday on charges of repeatedly raping and assaulting his 19 year-old Latvian wife.
According to Corporal Mike Hill, Dickerson, who’s 43, met his wife in Latvia when she was 16 and took her back to the States to marry her when she was 18. She shortly thereafter got pregnant. She has told police that Dickerson starved her, denied her the ability to call her mother, and repeatedly beat and raped her. She eventually left for Latvia, she told police, but returned when Dickerson threatened her and her family, saying that he “could have anybody bring her back.”
This Dickerson guy may have been running in a Democratic primary, but his platform was hardly a typical one for a Democrat.
I am running as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate because the vital issues we face as a state and a nation are not being addressed. We need to renew our respect for life and family values as a means to stand united against evil that threatens our liberty. The moral fabric of our Democratic Party needs to represent our Maryland values, so we need change. As U.S. Senator, I propose that we support daycare, vote against killing human embryos, vote against public funding of abortions which serve as an alternative form of birth control, and we need term limits to prevent corruption in our government.
I’m beginning to think that we should arrest anyone that calls for a “respect for life” or a “culture of life”. Everyone that says stuff like that appears to be either a warmonger or a wife-rapist. Go figure. Maybe Freud could have explained it.
