I posted this because I think it's interesting in lieu of the media's constant harping about Tom DeLay today - I hope somebody at FOX reads this and adjusts their message accordingly. I'm not requesting it of the other media - they're too stupid to get it.

If you want to see the "Secret Decoder Ring" page - just click on the link at the top of the article.

The full court press is on against DeLay. Any veteran political observer can see that this is an orchestrated attack directed at the highest levels of the Democrat party.

The problem is that they really have nothing. That makes the attack incredibly unlikely to succeed.

DeLay is popular at home despite the daily rantings about him in the Houston Chronicle. His crime is not being a crook, but being a conservative who doesn't back down in the face of opposition of newspapers and the Democrat Party. Even in personal life, he's generous and reaches out to the disadvantaged.

It's purely a political play, but without any substance to go on, it won't work. They haven't found a wedge issue to divide DeLay from his conservative base.

As to the charges of corruption that the Dems are levying at DeLay, I don't know enough about the background of them to offer any sort of informed opinion as to the truthfulness of the charges.

However, I find the level of hypocracy stunning, as the same Dems that are railing against DeLay for possible foreign or domestic influence-buying were quite silent during the Buddhist Temple fundraiser, the selling of various bedrooms in the White House by Clinton/Gore, the coffees at which campaign donations were exchanged for access to the Prez and VP and other assorted Democratic fundraising scandals.

Have you seen the AP photo of DeLay at last night's Republican Congressional Committee dinner? The caption (read it carefully!):

House Minority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, walks to his seat after being introduced at the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel, Tuesday, March 15, 2005 in Washington. Earlier on Tuesday, DeLay strongly denied wrongdoing in connection with two overseas trips financed by outside organizations, and said he is eager to discuss the facts with leaders of the House ethics committee.
