WHY TOM DELAY MUST GO RIGHT NOW -- No. 1

This is the first in a series of reports about Congressman Tom DeLay and why he must be removed from leadership and from the House of Representatives.

DeLay's campaign manager is under indictment for lying to federal authorities and hiding hundreds of thousands of dollars of in-kind campaign contributions.

Two witnesses have the records and say that DeLay knew all about the criminal activity. One of the witnesses was in the back seat of a limo giving DeLay chapter and verse about the illegal activity of the campaign manager. DeLay is denying he knew anything about it.

What? Wait a minute, someone is interrupting me. Are you kidding? It wasn't Tom DeLay engaging in that criminal activity? It was who? Hillary Clinton? Oh, okay. Never mind.

Except maybe the White House, if he wants it.

When questioned about possible payoffs for pardons, her heinous said she knew nothing. Just carried envelopes to bill that were handed to her.

[Not now, Not ever!]

Ouch, you had me scared for a moment.

[eddie willers]

Had me going. :o)

[EagleUSA]

Beautifully done. Just shows the infinite hypocrisy of the left and what criminal lying scumbags they are...now let me tell you how I really feel about them...

[doug from upland]

Ping.

[who knows what evil?]

Thought Chris Shays was pleading his case at FR, for a moment.

Whew! Good thing I read that last paragraph :) Good one.

The Rats needed to start this obviously-orchestrated campaign against DeLay about a year from now if they expected it to have any effect in the 2006 elections. Even then, it'd be a long shot.

Perhaps their goal is simply to strip him from a House leadership position. If so, they'll have to come up with something more.

For the pubbies to kowtow to demon-rats while they are the majority party sends the wrong message to the country. They need to take a lesson from the rats on how they stuck with a absolute piece of filth in the white house during impeachment.

The Republicans are taking exactly the wrong lesson from this. They should be like Howard Beale, doing the "I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" thing and having a "My way or the highway attitude."

I would never have this attitude if the Dems weren't the slimy, nauseating crew they are.

But this is the reality of the political landscape.

The Republicans MUST start behaving as the majority party--get things they way you want them. If you risk upsetting the apple cart and losing control of Congress, maybe that's not such a bad thing IF you have the courage of your convictions and live by them. If you believe your way is correct, then why the heck aren't you legislating that way?

Answer: I don't think many Republicans are really Republicans. They LEAN that way but are too damned timid to LIVE that way. They are willing to risk our lives and lifestyles, but are they willing to risk their jobs?

You're Republicans who are in charge of the government; behave like Republicans who are in charge of the government.

Go to "timeout!"

[pgkdan]

OY! You had me for a minute...I thought you'd gone over to the dark side. A definate sign that we'd be in the end times!

[MindBender26]

Well done... has a certain panache...

[doug from upland]

More will come. :)

behave like Republicans who are in charge of the government.

I can't think of a Democrat bill that has been passed into law in recent years. Maybe some dumb resolution recognizing some dumb American, maybe, but nothing of significance.

We haven't gotten all that we wanted, but I don't think the Rats have gotten anything that they wanted.

[Darkwolf]

I'm not talking about being reactive, or getting certain things passed and others not. Why DO the Dems have to worry about getting things passed when the Medicare drug plan is being passed without them having to lift a finger? Why DO the Dems have to get something passed when No Child Left Behind is passed? Why worry about Dems expanding government when we have the largest expansion of government ever going on under a Republican administration?

I am NOT wholesale against these things; I'm merely pointing out that these are certainly not things Dems by and large are again, nor are they things Reps are for.

I am less interested in Republicans helping pass things like McCain-Feingold and bankruptcy reform than I am in border control.

I see Dems angry because of personal things and emotion. I sure don't see them bemoaning any huge rollback of budgets and bloated government, which is the cornerstone of Republican core as I see it.
