I smell a meme coming....
And rush and palin and beck?
I read this as the lawyer criticing the liberal jury, not the Tea Party movement; that the jury consisted of liberal members. Beware of lib media.
Current events influence jury results all the time. Prosecution chose the venue because they wanted the notoriously foaming at the mouth liberal residents of Travis County judging the case. DeLay’s attorney is probably right.
His attorney is making excuses like a Liberal. It didn’t help that the jury decision was backed up to Thanksgiving Holiday either. Wondering how much that had to do with it.
GEEZ! Wondering if I can blame the Tea Party for the Drivers Side door handle breaking on my wifes car today.
Too bad Abramoff won't be able to keep him company.
DeLay is no hero to conservatives. He was weak on Border Security/Illegal Alien Amnesty....and he was a hardcore Commie Free Trader....his pushing of CAFTA while as majority whip was disgusting....and his dealing on that vote would make Nancy Pelosi envious.
No surprise that The Sickle would be blaming Tea Party because he got convicted. Only a fool or a commie thinks DeLay was some conservative hero
Boy howdy, just think what’ll happen if them thar tea party folks ever get their hands on Karl Rove’s weather machine!
/shakes head at the absurdity of it all.
Tea Party’s fault? Lame.
I suppose his client's guilt had nothing to do with it.
AAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
did I miss an armed rebellion or something?
Rather than blame his poor defense, DeLay’s lawyer blames the Tea Party Revolt. Oh, I got it. We should have delayed the revolt for DeLay’s trial and sentencing and then lived with the Marxist’s controlling the House, Senate and Presidency for two more years. I guess DeLay is more important than the country.
DeLay picked a lawyer who is either a colossal RINO or a demrat. My respect for DeLay has diminished to zero if he approved his lawyer blaming the Tea Parties. I hope DeLay uses his jail time to reflect on his life and make changes where necessary. If I were him the first thing I’d do is fire the lawyer and disown the Tea Party disparagement.
Wow, can’t believe the detractors here. Yeah, his lib side is sad but this trial should have every conservative crying fowl. This whack job liberal prosecutor went after him on a technicality in the law. He was not judged by his peers, but by his enemies. As it stands, no conservative could get a fair trail in Travis county.
This is a lawyer talking, he doesn’t care about anything but winning, they would sell their mother to get a win.
This is Yahoo trying to bait the right into starting a disagreement among themselves.
Oh...my...GAWD!!! What can one do but fall out laughing?! Incredible...gobsmacked!
The left... Az republicans wetting pants running away from office... now Delay!!!
At the time, Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, Tom Delay pushed through more spending and big government bills than the Democrats could manage to do.
He should go to jail for that.
Apparently there was enough there for the demrats to get a hook into DeLay. He played the DC games and got burned. We all know he did nothing more or less than most them when it comes to skirting and/or crossing the legal line. He was close enough or over the line enough to open himself to the charge(s).
It isn’t fair, a liberal would whine, but that’s politics in America today.
Ya can’t get pregnant if you don’t screw around. You make it hard to impossible to be to make a criminal charge stick if you don’t break or stretch the law in the first place.
