"I'm getting fed up with so many people like Rick Santorum who is a conservative one day, decides he wants to be president and then starts moving to the center.
I'm fed up with phony baloney, plastic-banana, good-time rock and roller so-called moderate wimps like Chris Shays and all these other clowns that are going after Tom DeLay simply because he's effective.
I'm fed up with our side that doesn't stand up for our people.
I'm fed up with our guys that don't advance our agenda because they're scared.
I'm sick and tired of people that are fearful of every damn thing.
I'm sick and tired of phonies that live their lives only to get media coverage instead of be real. "
It just sounds like what I would say if I had the same opportunity as Rush does.
As I understand it, Delay employed a couple family members as part of his campaign for approximately 14 years. During that 14 years they made a total of about 500,000 dollars.
That seems like a lot until you actually do the math...it's only about a 17,800 dollar a year average.
We all know that Delay could have claimed their work as a campaign expense, but as soon as he did that he'd get hit for "avoiding income tax by hiding income to his family."
Is there anyone here who wouldn't, during a campaign, want their most loyal, supportive people on their staff at any level of government? The House of Reps level is not flush with cash, so, of course, you'd take the cheaper labor that a loyal family member would provide. Why should they do all that work all at their own expense?!!
BTW, Michael Savage was ridiculously demeaning of Rush Limbaugh last night. I lost all respect for Savage.
Wow. That is exactly how I am feeling too. Interesting...
