How about voting his principles as a small-government conservative 100% of the time?

"And the rats bring down yet another good man."Nope.
The GOP "leadership" failed as usual to stand tall and back one of its warriors....
But this gives them an excuse to plug in yet another RINO into Party as it continue drifting towards the center.

How about if the we put someone who is as tough as Delay in the majority leader position. What did the democrats gain in this case? Absolutely nothing.

Ronnie Earle, that sleazy weasel, wins this round. Did DeLay cite his dance with Earle as the reason for stepping aside?

Flake deliberately called the anti-american MSM, (who are in the process of defeated us in a war), to trash his leader who is under fire.
He has learned from McCain, and believes his political life lies with the MSM.
He is desperately wrong.
Amen. What the hell is wrong with everybody?

Gipper,
Everyone is pissing and moaning what a loss this is, I don't think so, he has the brains to get out of the way.
Duke Cunningham wore a wire to get Abramoff, the question is why is Reid so quiet all of a sudden? Who else did Duke get on tape?.
I think this Justice Dept investigation/Abramoff deal is going to be huge with many ending up in chromium bracelets, best to get the hell out of the way....

The dims are starting to talk about Pelosi not being what they need right now and would like to possibly replace her. Do you think she'll 'step-down' for the good of her party or tell them all to shut the hell up, she isn't going anywhere.

For every action, there is a reaction. Delay's leadership has been strong and tough, and has earned him many enemies, even with conservatives inside his own caucus.
Blunt will be an excellent majority leader, and has very close personal ties with GWB; much closer than Delay does.
Does anyone know the date of the State of the Union address? I cannot find it; usually it's the last Tuesday in January? Thanks

"It will probably be Tancredo who calls for him to resign just like he did almost a year ago."
I've explained this to you and Dane 1000x, you open-borders troll.
Delay has been a major obstructionist on border security.
One year ago, Sensenbrenner and 117 or so other Congressment held up the Homeland Security bill because Delay wouldn't attach BORDER SECURITY provisions. He said they would address it in the new year... Well, guess what happened.
Delay lied to secure votes for a pork-ridden bill that didn't include border security as a part of homeland security.
He also said there was no fat left to trim from the budget - another lie.
Yeah, he can get bills passed - big pork bills, by lying.

You:Anyone remember, just a year ago, the Homeland Security bill behing held up... because Delay didn't want border security to be part of the "Homeland Security" package?Me:BTW, your link makes no mention of DeLay."
It mentions House leadership, which was Delay. I remember the threads from a year ago. I couldn't find any of them and didn't want to spend a half hour looking. If you care, you look 'em up. My memory is accurate. Your link simply says "leadership". It offers no named sources. It also says that leadership wanted to reform our nation's intelligence agencies as soon as possible. It didn't say that leadership didn't want immigration reform.
There's a logical difference.
If you wish to make a point, you should demonstrate it. Else you haven't made a point.
