Democrats have criminalized politics for their own gain.

You are innocent until the law proves that you are guilty in America. You base your conclusions on assumptions and MSM propaganda, that is, unless you are involved in the case.

I don't care how many accusations the Dem's have thrown against DeLay, until the obtain a conviction he deserves the same respect as any innocent person.

You need to take off the tin foil hat and stop reading the NY Times.

I neither wear tin foil nor do I read the Times (suitable for wrapping fish and training puppies).

Perhaps you are describing yourself. I would ascribe those exact same qualities to anyone who believes "GOP right or wrong" or who relies on NewsMax to do their critical thinking for them.

I am not involved in the case (I've only said so twice in previous posts on this thread, I believe) but I do hold to the notion that where's there's smoke, there's often fire. Whether or not that fire is criminal in nature is a different story altogether.

DeLay did the right thing; whether it was motivated by an actual sense of right and wrong, or whether he merely stuck his finger in the air and guaged the political winds, is unimportant: he's still gone, and that's good for the rest of us.
