WASHINGTON

Embattled Rep. Tom DeLay decided Saturday to give up his post as House majority leader, clearing the way for new leadership elections among House Republicans eager to shed the taint of scandal, two officials said.

These officials said DeLay, R-Texas, was preparing a letter informing fellow House Republicans of his decision. These officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt the formal announcement.

DeLay is battling campaign finance charges in Texas and was forced to step aside temporarily as majority leader last fall after he was charged in his home state. He has consistently maintained his innocence and said he intended to resume his leadership post once cleared.

This whole thing stinks.

Modern equivalant of pitchforks and torches.

A good man falls on his sword.

"The same "good man" who rammed through "highway" and "farm" pork in the tens of billions, then bleated about how there's no fat left to cut in the budget?"

Yup.

Just another open borders flunkie out to pork us all.

Chances of Delay having dirty hands is increasing every day.

You are getting pretty crotchety, man.

If it's "crotchety" to hold lying professional politicians and a party that does nothing but grow government and cares about nothing but reelection to account, then yeah - I guess I'm getting crotchety.

[Jrabbit]

The statement by DeLay is being read on Fox....the petition by the cowards in the house did it.

[adam_az]

"You are getting pretty crotchety, man."

Pointing out some thinks that show him not to be such a "good man" makes him crochety? Well damn, sign me up the crotchety club too.

[processing please hold]

Dangit. I missed Red and blues have to go, comment

[woofie]

The above is in reference to a troll not De Lay

[jveritas]

Do not overrate their power my fellow freeper. Remember that they cannot win elections, you do not want to be a loser of one election after another. If you do, join them an see how it feels.

[Gipper08]

Yes,and It is time to move on.
Indiana Congressman Mike Pence for Majority Leader!!!

Game over. Dems win. All you have to do is throw some baseless accusations at our most effective leaders and the others will turn tail and run.

"Tom DeLay will be back...God bless him."
