Breaking: Delay Indicted

CNN

[West Coast Conservative]

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay indicted on one count of criminal conspiracy by Texas grand jury, according to Travis County clerk's office.

A "DNC hit" is precisely right.

[AntiGuv]

Yes, that is correct.

[Pylot]

If a grand jury hands down an indictment it usually is not politically driven.

[twigs]

The bad news is most republican voters do care about character and indictments.

So do dems. When it's about Republican's character and indictments!

[Mo1]

Oh Great .. Dryer is House Majority Leader now

The dems have been after Dryer for years also

[roses of sharon]

LOL, love how the Freepers that lecture the GOP for not standing up to the left, are always the first ones to jump out of the foxhole.

Interesting human dynamic or trolls?

Several hundred DU members have just died of excessive orgasms

Liberals have orgasms?

[GraniteStateConservative]

Not accurate. She was indicted, the case went to trial, the DA rested without putting up any evidence with the judge finding her not guilty as a matter of law. But the indictment was not 'thrown out'.

Bump.

[VictoryGal]

The rules require he step down, and he just did.

Nobody's wishes had anything to do with it.

When's Pelosi's Trial and Hillary's trial?

Newt went down on trumped up charges

IIRC, Newt Gringrich resigned because the Republican House majority suffered losses during the 1998 election. What trumped up charges are you talking about?

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Honorable thing to do...and he's going to be busy.

[slowhand520]

He has been so defeatist of late. Like the rest of the Right Wing intelligentsia. Except Rush who always has an optimistic outlook.

[NeoCaveman]

OK, Back now........surprising how many DUmmies believe in God now....

I thought they only believed in God for the bad stuff, just like George from Seifeld.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

You just have to know Travis County politics. These guys throw indictments around like used prophylactics.

[Trueblackman]

That right Delay should ask for a speedy trial and look for Earl to try to drag this out until the midterms at the request of State and National Democrats.

[AntiGuv]

If you mean practically speaking, there is no difference. However, factually speaking, the judge did not rule to dismiss the charges. The prosecution declined to press them further.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

There must be some substantial evidence to take such an important Congressman

Rats rear. Ronnie Earle has been doing this to Republicans since the early 90's.

[des]

Ronnie Earle should be indicted for abuse of power.

[kabar]

along with a ham sandwich. Indictment doesn't mean guilty.
