The republican party cannot afford to have this clown Earle think he can do something like this without any sort of personal consequences to himself. The consequences have to be provided and they have to be major.

The Republican-controlled Legislature then passed a GOP-leaning congressional redistricting plan brokered by DeLay that put more Republicans in Congress.

That is EXACTLY how commie-socialist top dem ranking Bonior-(D) got carved out in Michigan never to be heard from again.

It's okay.
He stepped in it.
He wants Baroness Thatcher as a witness.

I would think a state impeachment proceeding for Abuse of Office would be appropriate.

It is so obvious that this is political that I can't imagine how this jerk can get away with this, but then, I am amazed at what the left is allowed to do with no repercussions. Meanwhile, Hillary has a REAL case of unquestionable campaign finance fraud (again) and nothing is done about it.

So it all boils down to Clintonese - the art of parsing words to mean what the Dims want them to mean.

Even Boss Hogg had more ethics than Earle.

That's the night that the lights went out in Texas
That's the night that Ronnie Earle tried to hang an innocent man
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Texas lawyer
'Cause the Dem'rats in Texas have bloodstains on their hands

Yep. The real intent behind the "money laundering" charge is to criminalize the GOP win in Texas. That's what this is all about. Every one raises money for political campaigns and this is done by both political parties every day and the money in Texas was raised in compliance with both state and federal laws. Ronnie Earle knows all this is true and he's desperate. As an indictment, its completely absurd and deserves to be laughed out of court.

Was Earle at a Dem fundraiser with Rather's ugly Lib daughter?

who is charged with conspiracy and money laundering in an alleged campaign-finance scheme.

So now we are back to the DNC talking point about "Schemes"? Wonder where this had gone.

Not one dime to any RINO that stabs DeLay in the back.

This thing makes TX look like a joke.

What a shame when they have the motto: "Don't mess with..." .

That's like being charged with murder and attempted murder in a terrorist bombing incident.

I agree with a great deal of what is said here. Ronnie Earle is a joke. A bad joke. What a sad state the Dems are in this state. The most powerful official they have is a two bit political hack prosecutor from Austin.

I think it's 50-50 that this thing ever goes to trial. Dick DeGuerin has beaten Earle before. Squashed him like this indictment will be (s)quashed.

I also second the notion that any GOP quisling who abandons DeLay be squashed. We must not allow this kind of thing to be successful. The RATS hate DeLay because he's effective. His collegues either love him or fear him. We need more of that. Anyone who starts mimicing MSM sliming of DeLay is on my list. Anyone saying DeLay is better off in the background or permanently out of leadership loses any support. Period. It's time for Conservatives to rally for one of our own.

Well, at least I understand the underlying charge. The money came from the RNC to candidates in Texas, but they are claiming it got funneled to the RNC with specific instructions to return it to Texas, in an effort to circumvent the Texas state law.

I'm on Delay's side, but I have no idea if the charge has any legal validity. Shouldn't the RNC and RNC officials have been indicted if this transaction was illegal? Sounds like a campaign law loophole which earle wants to turn into a crime.

Also, the stuff about this causing the dems to lose the Texas Congressional delegation is absurd. But the libs pretend little things like free elections did not take place. Their "best" use of this argument was when Max Chambliss lost his senate seat for being too liberal and somehow it was the result of a republican conspiracy in the form of campaign ads.

All you are saying is you are too inept or too lazy to change the party.

The GOP is made up of ordinary citizens. Those who are moderate or even a bit to the left join the Republican party and work their rear ends off to get the Republican party to do what they want.

The majority on the right sit on a stool with one thumb in their mouth and the other up their rump. They only do two things. They change hands and complain about the taste.

If you really cared about the nation you would wash your hands and get to work in one of the two major parties to try to change it.

Your tag line screams the owner of the tag line sees himself as inferior to those in charge. Not only that the owner of the tag line intends to stay in the inferior class. The goal is to never be in charge of anything.

People who control things do the work to get in charge.. Then they do what they want.

Losers tent to whimper and whine about those in charge not doing what they want done, while existing in a subservient state.
