I would like to think so, but power has a very corrupting influence. If I were him I would be watching my back, I'm sure someone is gunning for his leadership position.
"I would like to think so, but power has a very corrupting influence."
Yeah...well power is irrelevant unless you're in a position to use it. While Delay isn't one of my favorites, either, he is a guy who gets things done for Republicans. His work and redistricting of Texas gave "power" to Republicans that had been missing since Reconstruction...and will for the foreseeable future.
While I am not as socially conservative as Delay, this fight has become more about the mediacrats and their desires to dictate what we Republicans should accept. From Newt to Livingston to Lott...Republicans are expected to abandon their people because the mediacrats say so. Yet Democrats who do much worse, circle the wagons and defend at all costs.
Delay isn't being targeted for his indiscretions; he's being targeted...as Newt was, because he is viewed as the biggest threat to Democrats and their ideals. If this was truly about wrong-doing, half the leadership in the Democrat Party would've been removed long ago. It's time to draw a line...or the mediacrats will succeed at doing something they haven't been able do at the ballot box: WIN. And in the end, Republicans will be relegated to minority status (through attrition and a backlash)...were "power" will be the least of their concerns.
