Republicans who take I-20 east home are fuming over revelations that a GOP candidate for the school board in Newton County has a 1988 conviction for sodomy to a child under 14, and was arrested in 1999 on a charge of public indeceny.

The latter charge against Horace Don Gresham was dead-docketed, according to the Covington News.

Here’s the newspaper’s take on the situation:

According to Steve Bray, chairman of the Newton County Republican Party, the organization does not remove candidates from the ballot once they’ve qualified.

I'm the former chair of the Newton Democrats and us Dems there are having quite a time with this one.

What is it about Adult Male Republicans that make them like the little boys so much?
