This indictment is like a one way street. You can't go the wrong way on the one way street), but you can make three right turns and get there. You can't go directly from A to D, but you can go from A to B, from B to C, and from C to D.
That's exactly what DeLay did.
It's illegal for corporations in TX to donate to individuals (to go from A to D).
It's perfectly legal, however, for corporations to donate to local PACs (A to B).
It's legal for those pacs to donate to the National Committees (B to C).
It's legal for the National committees to donate to individuals (C to D).
IOW, Texas has an unenforceable law. Real campaign finance reform would be anyone can donate any amount to anyone - but the politician must have FULL financial disclosure, on penalty of mandatory jail time.
Rush says this will not play out as the DIMs expect. He's usually got a good feel for this stuff.
Facts? I haven't seen a single fact supporting any illegal action by DeLay.
Must be talking about the fact that DeLay is a Republican.
Delay is temporarily removed as Majority Leader.
Delay will be labeled by dems as Indicted Tom Delay.
DeLay is charged with just one count supported by no evidence! Liberal Earle must want to be disbarred!
And now that Ronnie Earle has damaged Tom DeLay, do you think DeLay will go any further in Politics than he is? The answer to this question is NO! and was the whole purpose of doing this, to ruin this man in poltics...just like Rush said yesterday, ..."whenever they talk about DeLay on T.V. anywhere, what will come up is his 'mug' shot, and everyone will remember, oh yeah, he was indicted on fraud charges...never mind they were true or not"...
This is the democRATS game, you ruin the person, so he can't threathen you anymore....why can't we start doing some of this to their people? Why do we have to always be the 'nice' guys???? President Bush will be gone in a few more years, but there are people who will still be there, who might be ruined by the RATS, is that fair??? NO it isn't...
They are already after Frist, and they might go after Santorum, is it fair that we sit back and do nothing??? Isn't it about time we start slinging some mud and making it stick, isn't that why we are in power and not them?????

What I'm curious of is can Delay have retribution if charges found to be false or politically motivated?
Hell if some bozo did this to the Clintons they'd just have them killed.
In this case, I would think it is reasonable to say that the other 6% probably didn't know the answer either (whether they said he was a democrat, or didn't answer). That means the Democrats have a little more work to do -- almost half the country don't KNOW what they need to know to link the indictment to the republican party.
The only person on the grand jury that indicted Tom Delay who was identified was the jury foreman. Who, rumor has it, has had a little problem in the past with field sobriety tests......
Does anyone else think Ronnie Earle looks like Yoda? Do I have the right character?
And IIRC Brit Hume's figures last night showed 64% believed it was politically motivated. I would like to believe those figs not just because they agree with me but it would be very encouraging to think that the American people are finally becoming that aware as a group.
In other news...
Bears Sh&t in Woods
The Dems and the media get clobbered again. They don't get it that the people are smarter than they are and that the Democrat "platform" of hate doesn't sell in America.
I have no idea what you're talking about so here's some giant rubber duckies in the middle of the desert......
If only there were some way to make Ronnie Earle pay dearly for his abuse of power.
Time to change the subject to Willam Bennett or perhaps even Karl Rove... again.
I don't trust polls much, but I do think the Red Staters will see this for what it is. I also think that now that Rasmussen has this poll out, the MSM is working overtime to doctor as many polls as possible to show that your average American associates Tom DeLay with satan.
It didn't help the dems much that the second DeLay was indicted they all were aping the same "cloud of corruption" talking point. It looked damn fishy and seemed cooked up. I wasn't sure at the time, but DeLay did the right thing taking the offensive.
By the way, has anyone else noticed that finally the Republicans are getting in the face of the MSM and firing back. King the other night and then DeLay openly stating in Chrissy's face that he had the DNC talking points before the indictment was ever issued. Bout damn time!!!
