The GOP is falling apart. Hillary is going to walk into the White House.

Next step in this process is for the Republicans to acquiesce quietly and slink away with their tail between their legs

They've been really good at that lately.

Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely


An observation that a person’s sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. The statement was made by Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Demo prosecutor per Fox.

If it's the guy I'm thinking of, he's a nutball when it comes to getting DeLay.

Anyone on this forum know the difference between an indictment and a conviction? No wonder many think the GOP is spineless. An activist prosecutor who is a fund raiser for the Democrats indicts DeLay and the SEC is looking into a stock transaction of Frist and many here are tucking their tail between their legs and running for the tall grass.

Don't want to sound confrontational here but truthfully you make me sick.

"You think The Hammer is guilty?"

I have no idea if he is guilty. But, US House rules state that if you are under indictment, you must step down from your leadership role.

Dat's da facts.

Not surprising since the Travis County state's attorney has been gunning for him. I would be shocked to see this actually make it to trial.

It shouldn't be too difficult to get one count dismissed on technical grounds.

If, and I mean if, he is guilty, he should step down and save the party.

Are there any details? What is the conspiracy? Is there proof of any wrongdoing?
