YPSILANTI, Mich. (RWN) - A hard and ugly race for a seat in Congress got harder and uglier last night when candidates resorted to name calling during a debate.

Jali Kalal, a fundamentalist candidate from Ypsilanti, began the fireworks when he called his modern opponent, incumbent Jack Gant, "an apostate in prayer garb."

"At least I don't have an unquenchable thirst to rule over people's lives," Gant, from East Lansing, fired back.
