WASHINGTON -- Rep. Bernard Sanders used campaign donations to pay his wife and stepdaughter more than $150,000 for campaign-related work since 2000, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission.
Jane O'Meara Sanders, his wife, received $91,020 between 2002 and 2004 for "consultation" and for negotiating the purchase of television and radio time-slots for Sanders' advertisements, according to records and interviews.

I wasn't kidding when I posted that in my first comment. He caucuses with the Dems and always has done so ... Socialist ='Rat
Pretty much one and the same to me.

Since Sanders is a communist; I'm glad he's being exposed for his hypocritical statements against Delay.
To: KC Burke
I went to school with Sanders' son and stepdaughter. Neither one of them has the brains of a gnat.

Yep. Beyond that when somebody in the leadership becomes a liability, you simply dump them. It isn't about them. They are mere instruments wielded to affect and effect public policy in positive directions. When the intrument becomes blunt and ineffectual, and seems to point at you rather than away from you, well, God invented dumpsters for a reason.

On the other hand, Delay has done a good job of absorbing the punishment on behalf of the entire GOP leadership. If he left, they'd simply turn to another target.

Of course, but the issue is effectiveness. One wants the opposition to be as ineffective as possible. There really isn't another target that would give the Dems much traction at present. Jesse Helms is retired, and Don Rumsfeld knows how to take fire and effectively return it, and cut his losses. DeLay alas does not. The sad thing is that the wounds are self inflicted. Sad really.

Sanders went to my college, so he must be smart. :) I just chalk his issues up to making some unfortunate a priori assumptions along the way, and being stubborn in refusing to acknowledge conflicting empirical evidence with a dispassionate eye, which is a common character flaw in our species.

It was perfectly socialist, the families gave according to their ability, and Bernie gave to them according to their needs. /sarcasm

Yep, just because it isn't illegal doesn't mean its ethical. Its all a big game to them. All of them.

That was the article I was referring to. I didn't realize that there were two articles.
