like a left wing conspiracy to me.

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay indicted on one count of criminal conspiracy by Texas grand jury, according to Travis County clerk's office.
Do you live in Texas?
I don't give a rats patootie if he has never indicted another Republican. This indictment of DeLay and Earles partisan stripes are all the "proof" I need to know he's a tool of the dim party. I guarantee you that if the idiot Repubs in the house hadn't made their weenie rule that if indicted, leadership has to step down, Earle would never have done this. He saw his chance and took it. Give a rat an inch and they'll take a mile every time. Sad that my party never learns this.
I don't have any accusations against Delay.
I am also hoping this will have a "backlash" effect and get more of Tom's constituents out of vote!!!!
Couple of thoughts on Delay -
Ronnie Earl might be a partisan but that doesn't necessarily mean that his case is without merit. (Ken Starr prosecuted Bill Clinton - remember?)
Ronnie Earl claims that he has prosecuted 15 elected officials. 12 of them democrats and only 3 republicans. If that record is true it makes the charge of rogue partisan hard to make stick.
This isn't Delay's first time in trouble. Sooner or later people believe that smoke=fire.
In addition, many republicans in congress are not fond of Delay and think he's a drag on the party and do not like his ethics or tactics.
Is this a battle that republicans want to fight right now? And is it a battle worth fighting for this particular person?
I haven't made up my mind...just posting food for thought
Best evidence so far, and all the reason not to panic over the indictment. Doesn't prove DeLay is innocent, but it casts a shadow over Earle for certain.
Yes. It took the prosecutor six grand juries to obtain an indictment. Five apparently refused to indict. So that tells us all we need to know, really.
You are still failing to address the orignal point. Prove your accusations against Delay. Burden of proof lies on the accuser not the accused Troll.
Ronnie is about to become The Nail.
While you are making up your mind and positing opinions, I'll be fighting to protect a man from a political witchhunt. Anyone that won't do the same, I have no use for.
Tom Tancredo is a one issue and one issue only Congressman. All he ever talks about is immigration, which is not what a leader is all about. A leader is responsible for many, many important issues. I am Pro-life, but it would be stupid to put someone in leadership that just talked about abortion 24/7. I stopped listening to him a long time ago. The borders are an important issue, but not the only one,and there is no evidence that Tancredo cares about anything else.
DeLay should not have to prove his innocence, but he said he woulld regardless. Categorically and without technicalities or legaleese.
He's innocent.
The partisan hack Earle, has been after him for years and he had to go thru FIVE grand jurires to find a GJ that would indict on ONE conspiracy charge and reporters cannot find a link in the indictment to DeLay and we know most of them are scouring it...lol.
If the transcript of Delay's speech is posted as a thread, could you ping me...
I don't have use of the TV...and I have to just be on and off the computer today...
BTW...over a 100 degrees here in Ft. Worth today...but tomorrow, the high..79!!!! YAY, finally!
This is more like the last year or so.
No kidding. The guy on for Rush today was a real bore!!!
Although he did mention the Delay deal during the second hour.
LOL! I wish there were a way to indict Earle for malicious prosecution. Maybe there is.
I live in Delay's district, and as of this moment, am as enthusiastic as ever about voting for him.
Somehow I don't see the man hurting for money
No "here" meaning this specific case with this specific prosecutor who has done this before.
In fact a bar complaint agains him for the PREVIOUS time he did this to a republican would be actionable since there IS NO STATUTE OF LIMINTATION on disbarable offenses.
