A stray envelope may end the political career of Texas state Rep. Poncho Nevárez.As the Democratic lawmaker, 47, was leaving an airport in Austin earlier this year, he dropped an envelope bearing his official letterhead, police said, citing surveillance video.
Inside, investigators now say they found a revelation that would lead to an apology, a decision not to seek reelection as of Thursday afternoon and a warrant for his arrest: The sealed envelope, they said in court documents, contained four small clear baggies filled with cocaine.
Dem...damn...kick him to the curb.

People seeking office under our banner need to be clean ethically and legally and not into kinky shit. I am not putting down how people meet their needs, but entering politics excludes some life choices, I hope that democratic office aspirants realize that and step aside for cleaner people. Let republicans be unethical pigs, we are much better than that and I truly believe that we will prevail.
