Mike Pence for Majority Leader!

[grizzly84]

And the rats bring down yet another good man.

[SwatTeam]

These officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt the formal announcement.

So why couldn't they just keep their blasted mouth shut?

[conservativebabe]

That's what this whole witch hunt was about. To get rid of DeLay and yet again, the snakes have slithered out their way.

[eeevil conservative]

WOW!

I would love to see DeLay FIGHT this- only because this is just allowing the Dems dirty tricks to work- I don't want to teach them that they can get away with this crapt!

BUT_ I am very proud of DeLay- he is showing integrity and team leadership- by doing what is right for the House so they can move forward while he takes this fight on-and not leave them in libmo on Leadership--

I admire him more than ever now.....

[Jrabbit]

The media and dims win again.

[processing please hold]

Why do they let the rats get away with doing this crap to them day in and day out?

[inquest]

Well, then maybe we can get in someone who isn't so clueless as to think there isn't any fat left to trim from the federal budget.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Great. So without a fight, the Republicans let another leader get taken down by a bogus scandal. As far as I'm concerned, the entire Republican party should be fired en masse, not be allowed to re-run for their posts, and have new people compete for the vacated seats. This is just pathetic.

[roses of sharon]

LOL, the MSM/DNC win again!

And the Conservative media have let their betters in the MSM run rings around them, as they have for decades.

Which is why Conservative media has ZERO influence on the public.

Sad.

[Lancey Howard]

Is this author believable?

[Hank Rearden]

Good. One less greedy, big-government Republican weasel. Now the party only has to worry about the other several thousand that are driving their Big Stupid Government agenda.

[carlr]

Has the countdown started to when the first dem says that now DeLay should resign from Congress.

[jveritas]

Hopefully he will stay in the House and the Republicans will elect a strong majority leader like Delay.

[Mo1]

He may be down .. But he's not out

He's still in the House ... And I hope he continues to be the Dems worse nightmare

[freedumb2003]

This whole thing stinks.

Modern equivalant of pitchforks and torches.

A good man falls on his sword.

[cynicom]

Chances of Delay having dirty hands is increasing every day.

[Timmy]

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.

[Theodore R.]

When he steps down like this, it leads one to wonder if he was telling the truth when he denied all the wrongdoing alleged against him. I would rather that he stayed on and fought. The other Republicans aren't going to do anything anyway.

[Trueblackman]

Did anyone hear or read his statement, Yom Delay knew that the MSM and Dims were going pound this for the rest of the year. Delay is a honorable man and I would have done the same if in his position.
