Well, I am certainly glad we have at least one Republican who is not willing to "bend to the opposition", i.e. lie down and get run over by the Democrats.

I hope Republicans get behind DeLay and support him and start attacking Democrats. Remember, the best defense is an offense, which the Dems have down pat, but the Republicans don't.

The Dems are trying to get rid of DeLay, the way they got rid of Gingrich and Lott. And they can't do anything, unless the Republicans will cave and join them -- as they did in the case of Gingrich and Lott.

Good. There are plenty of people who support DeLay on the judicial issue.

If the Democrats could rally behind a sleazy rat like clinton, then I don't see why the Republicans can't rally behind one of their own for a change. If they don't, they will just be admitting defeat--once again.

So, what this campaign proposes to say is essentially true. If the Pubbies back down, they will disgust a lot of conservatives who aren't all that certain what the Republican party stands for.

Also, frankly, we need to take the MSM down a peg, and this is a good way to do it--by standing up to the liars and telling them off.

Agreed. Too many Republicans have been forced to exit leadership positions because of the coordinated attacks by leftists and their whores in the MSM. Republicans need to start going "nuclear" more often whenever these coordinated attacks target their leaders. It's a never ending game with Democrats. Tear down strong Republican leaders any chance they get no matter the reason. And truth doesn't matter, just tear them down and force them out. The Republicans need to put these jackals and THEIR allies on the defensive and force them constantly defend THEMSELVES! The Democrats NEVER stop attacking, and yet the Republicans STILL don't understand it!

God almighty, what will it take for the Republicans to go on the offensive and not stop until the jackals and their allies are utterly defeated?

Tom Delay has been a good fighter for our side. But, I think he would better serve if he left congress and spent all of his time working those organizations that he runs. Also, instead of legislating he could spend time trying to get money into a conservative press and other tactics to minimize the dirty MSM. If he can't do that then no one can.

I wish the senate would learn from DeLay.

The republicans have had plenty of opportunity in the past to throw Delay under the bus and they haven't.

DeLay is basically the only Republican I don't blame for Terri Schindler's ghastly death.

"Officials working with DeLay said he is trying to lock in support by sowing the message that an attack on him is an attack on the conservative movement,"

Well, duh, that's because it is.

Is there anything to the report that the Bush Admin is opposing DeLay?

DeLay is the most dedicated conservative we have in a position of real power, so I suspect the Republicans will abandon him. That useless twit Frist has already attacked DeLay in public.

I remember having such high hopes for Newt, and being so excited about his leadership. Then he caved like a sand castle when the tide comes in.

If the Republican leadership would only realize that the MSM is not a reflection of what the people think, maybe they wouldn't be so afraid to stand up for what's right.

I'm hoping that Delay will continue to stand firm, especially in the face of all these contrived, baseless attacks.

When is somebody going to do the math on the "concern" about his wife and daughter earning "HALF A MILLION DOLLARS" working on his campaign?

$20,000 per year
2 people
13 years
$520,000
Big deal!

We must insist that the whole Schiavo case be brought
before Congress. Corrupt Judicial, law enforcement and
politicians - this mess must be cleaned up.

By the way, Senator King who voted NOT to help Terri -
guess who contributed to his campaign? None other than
the insurance company in which Michael Schiavo is on the
board of directors.

And Sheriff Rice who stopped the initial police investigation and who hired Michael as nurse at the jail.

We can go on and on!

I'm in absolute agreement with you...everytime the rats try this tactic.....some Republicans run the other way.....at least DeLay stands when he's ready to fight...
