"If you've seen a chicken in the barnyard get a peck on his head so a little blood is showing, then the other chickens all rush in and peck him to death, that is the danger for Tom DeLay right now," said Charlie Wilson, a former Democratic member of Congress from Lufkin. "He's got a little blood on his head, and sometimes that is enough to get you killed." Source

DeLay wants 'chance to defend himself' ("..strap it on, baby, because you are fixing to get it.")

GOP leader's ties to lobbyist deepen his own controversy (a headline does not a scandal make)

 RUSH on a RAMPAGE (Linguini-Spined Republicans Beware)

Rush has had it with Phony Republicans today! -- I have a message for the Republicans in Washington. If you want to be the minority Party we'll MAKE you the minority Party or run ordinary citizens against you. People that don't care what the MSM or Dems have to say. Get off your butts and start representating US!

Rush is talking about quitting radio. What is he talking about? What happended? -- And I agree with him 100%. I don't always agree with Rush, but man, I too am sick to death of guys like Chris Shays and other totally wimpy Republicans. I am sick of people not having the GUTS to stand up for their convictions

 *Heads UP* RUSH is Pissed (should be entertaining today) -- Why do we even bother to have two parties if the Republicans won't even do what their constituents voted them in for?

They have noodles for spines & straw in their brains. It's irritating! They've gotta get out more often and pay attention. (It's here)

 DeLay Trips Accounted for..and.. DEMS ARE TOP PRIVATE TRIP TAKERS -- here's what you can DO: make copies of this article - send it to every republican with a short letter - DEFEND DELAY!!

 Soros Shadow Party Stalks DeLay

The Truth About DeLay (The outrages against him must stop. -Ben Stein)

-- The attack against him in the Texas courts are an outrageous -- but sadly emblematic -- Democrat attempt to use the judicial system to defeat the electoral process. The DA who is tormenting him is the same one who made up an indictment of Kay Bailey Hutchison out of whole cloth to try to reverse the results of a solid electoral victory by the Republican party in Texas.  He may not be perfect, but, he is one of the best of the current crop, one of the few that really understand the problems that face our Nation and willing to take the hits from not only the Demos, but many of the wimpy RINOS that are supposed to be on the same side to see that America stays strong and safe.

 

 The Real Story Behind the Attacks on Tom DeLay -- Let's put it in terms conservatives can readily grasp: We will hang together or we will all hang separately. The attack being mounted by the Left is not directed solely at DeLay; its directed against all conservatives. They want to humiliate and discredit us all as much as they want to get rid of the House Majority Leader

 

 GOP supporters denounce call for DeLay's resignation (question Shay's motives)

Rush rocked yesterday!

He's absolutely right!

[Southack]

What a shameful article, entirely composed of innuendo and speculation. Tabloids have more meat than did the article for this thread.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

It's not the substance of the charge, it's the seriousness of the accusation.

[backhoe]

Rush rocked yesterday! He's absolutely right!

I heard some of it, and he is absolutely right. It's time for us peasants to revolt, and show some of these perfumed, decadent princes the door.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Tom DeLay swelled the ranks in the House, we can afford to cut out some of the infected herd.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The Chonicle is nothing more than a LIBERAL rag - a hatchet machine for the Democrat Party.

[tet68]

How can you quote someone using heresay?

Not much of a paper.

democrat speculation is news now.

[YCTHouston]

Gotta love how the (fifth) columnist basically admits that they can't get DeLay, lays out more innuendo and prays for it to stick.

[YCTHouston]

Fag Hines ping.

Craggy Chronic from yesterday's media.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

This is a stellar example of what the msm has been doing to Democratic Party opposition for decades.

Yeah, I'm concerned about Rush too. News has been rough lately. We are so close to a historic victory, and we are meeting so much resistance, I think it's a strain on everyone. FReegards....

In a way, I do wish Rush would strongly consider evacuating the US. It's a legal/beaurocratic minefield out here. He would not feel right talking about US politics if he did, I suppose.

But to me, for a statesman to be so hated he's driven into exhile, that only adds to his stature. I can't imagine how much time is taken up in his life with all the beaurocratic BS out here. How much more time would he have to focus on politics if he left?

It's not the substance of the charge, it's the seriousness of the accusation.

And apparantly, the number of chickens involved too - *bump*

[AmishDude]

This is how it goes:

1. Allegation made.
2. Innuendo made.
3. Liberals "ask questions".
4. Liberal media "asks questions about whether the questions are legitimate."
5. Republican is "dogged with questions."
6. New allegation made.
7. Lather, rinse, repeat.
