Once again, it's the seriousness of the charge rather than the nature of evidence that matters to these people.

Have the Chicom $$$$$$$$$$$ arrived in Tex. yet?

[america-rules]

These people are wacked !

In a letter to Congress, the Texas Democrats have accused former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot of illegal fund-raising, money laundering and endangering a Houston neighborhood.

More bogus "lawsuits" from the Left. Apparently pinning bogus charges on Republicans is how the Democrats intend to win 2006.

Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) is in their sights as well.

Travis County Democrats are apparently the designated attack dogs for the DNC these days. They were in up to their elbows with the CBS memo stuff, now DeLay, and now even Racicot. I guess when the American voters have swatted you soundly on the nose, the only alternative is to nip at heels once in a while.

"In a letter to Congress, the Texas Democrats have accused former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot of illegal fund-raising, money laundering and endangering a Houston neighborhood.

No proof accompanied their accusations. "

And why not. It seems to be working like a charm for them.

All they have to do is make baseless accusations against prominent Republicans, and the Republicans obligingly get rid of their leaders to accomodate the Democrats.

Why write Congress? Marc Racicot is neither a senator nor congressman. As far as I know, he is a private citizen now.

If he were guilty of some of these charges, wouldn't there be a prosecutor on his trail?

Is this a new tactic, write a letter to Congress and get your charges printed as news?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Right. He's about as private a citizen as you, me and Tom Daschle.

[Carolinamom]

The real target....another shot at Tom DeLay, an effort to throw unfounded charges up on the wall and see if anything sticks.

Yer only innocent 'til proven guilty if yer a Rat bump!

Wonder why the pubs do not 'oust' one of those jerks, they sure don't have a clean playhouse, go after them, fair play is fair gain. I can assure you they are dirty, d=i=r=t=y.

So the Dimwits now want to start digging around in the morass of illegal campaign contributions? This has the potential of biting them in the ass like no other issue. I hope it backfires in their faces. Too bad nobody in the administration or the congress with an "R" attached to their name has the wherewithall to turn this around on them.

BINGO!

Nuff Said

Good thing we let Max Baucus run unopposed in 2002.

[prairiebreeze]

I ain't sceered of them varmints!

Sickened, absolutely..

No proof accompanied their accusations.

They'd better have some, or in my neck of the woods we'd call this libel.
