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.

We have congress and the WH. Why have we not nailed some rats
to the wall? They are nearly all guilty of some fraud or another.

I suggest we indict a few dozen rats next Sept to keep it real.

Exactly. this is all a continuation of the 2002 - 2003 battle in Texas. These are Democrats that can't win at the ballot box so they are going to the courts now. Ronnie kept fishing for something that he could fling and make stick in the most liberal county in Texas.

I guess you signed up to make this stupid remark.

can someone contact the moderators. Please see post 899.

Tom DeLay says he as done nothing wrong and I believe him. Trolls are not welcome.

The mods already got the troll. They're watching this thread very closely as it is bringing out trolls left and right including some sleeper trolls.

[defconw]

I see that they nailed that troll already! I am glad they are watching. The trolls just can't contain their glee. I think Mr. DeLay will come out of this just fine.

[JRochelle]

Get lost troll.

[COEXERJ145]

I'd bet my next paycheck that the case won't even make it to trial. Old Ronnie has nothing of substance on Delay and is just doing what he can to help the DNC in 2006.

[defconw]

If you are that confident then I will lose no sleep over it. I just Saw Mr. DeLay on C-Sapn he certainly did not look at all worried. He said he did nothing wrong and I believe him.

[COEXERJ145]

If the indictment had been brought by someone from DOJ or the Texas AG office, then I would say Delay has a problem. But since it is old Ronnie, I suspect that he is blowing hot air and just hoping he can do some damage before the indictment is tossed with prejudice.

"Are there any details? What is the conspiracy?"

I see a bunch of words all legalese. Looks like Ronnie Earle's handiwork to me! All hat no cattle.

The partisan dem Ronnie Earle ..GRrrrrr

But since it is old Ronnie, I suspect that he is blowing hot air and just hoping he can do some damage before the indictment is tossed with prejudice.

He's the Rat version of Larry Klayman, and just as successful in getting convictions.

[MEG33]

I am so angry..I just turned on the radio and heard..I'm still in Waco and cable deprived...Hannnity is ripping Earle.

[defconw]

Excellent point. This will be another opportunity for the MSM to make themselves look foolish. I can't wait to listen to Mark Levin this afternoon! OH MY. I stand by Leader DeLay and I encourage everyone to do so as well.

[hershey]

Have the democrats demanded he resign from congress yet?

[ex-Texan]

All well and good. But your opinion does not satisfy my questions. The real issue is insider trading not violating Senate ethics rules.

Frist's brother is a high ranking corporate officer of the company involved. I find it hard to believe that the brother did not speak with Senator Frist sometime between March and July, 2005. Frist said yesterday that he first asked for advice about selling his stock in April. His stock was sold in July. In early July, he asked the trustee of his 'blind trust' to sell his holdings.

The brother must have known the stock would take a major hit. According to PBS last night, Frist sold his stock just before the stock fell substantially. A nearly identical scenario to the transaction that caused Martha Stewart so many problems. And we all know what happened to Martha. An inside trading tip, IF it occurred in regard to Frist, appears not to have come from a stock broker or an employee of the broker.

"Since you and your cronies hate Dreier, he must be a good choice."

We dislike him for the same reason you like him--he's pro-illegal alien but had an election eve conversion to anti-illegal alien warrior after we went after him on that issue. That fact will, assumedly, make him somewhat less appealing to the FR quisling corner.

[pankot]

It's Bush's fault.
