I see. It's OK for them to do it in New Jersey under a cloud of suspicion and corruption but we can't do it perfectly legitimately in Texas. Maybe some day I will be able to read this crap without getting furious.
I must say you do grow them BIG in Texas.
And the Speaker of the House? AWOL as usual...but then again, this isn't about Jefferson.
It would be sweet if Delay stayed on the ballot and won anyway. By the way, this 'judge' needs to impeached.
I for one would just wish the Republicans would go nuclear on the Dems for a change and stop fighting like an organized British regimen against the Minutemen shooting behind trees and rocks.
I wonder what Boyd would have to say if the Republicans did this to one of his candidates?
And if the courts agree that DeLay withdrew, party officials contend, state Republican officials couldn't select a replacement candidate to take on Democrat Nick Lampson in the fall.
“The election would continue on — they just wouldn't have a dog in the hunt,” said Boyd Richie, the state Democratic Party's interim chairman.
To paraphrase Saul Alinsky, if you can't win at the ballot box then go through the courts.
This is really a state matter. Nevertheless, if it were federal, Hastert would be too busy suing the White House, covering for a caught-dead-to-rights felon, giving Jefferson cover for ignoring a federal subpoena for nine friggin' months!
I'd make my day. Similar to the news out of Iraq today.
Let's find the most apathetic, confused, half asleep, silly a$$ed fool we can and put him in charge.
He'd be screaming like a scared 6 year old kid.
Saul Alinsky, idolized by Hillary Clinton.
I don't understand. How do you expect Hastert to influence a judicial decision?
He could stand up for DeLay like he bent over for Jefferson (Rat-LA)
I would have expected the Speaker of the House to have used his position to support DeLay on his last day in office...he didn't.
Hastert doesn't have any influence over a "state" issue, but he does have a voice and a podium...which he reserves for outrage when crocked Democrats are taken to task.
What the heck, it's Hastert's fault. Recall him! Impeach Bush too!
lol
the democrats can literally run dead canidates..
but the republicans can't run any canidate?
freaking judges need to be tar'd, feathered and run out of this country.
What Jackson and Extremist are trying to say is that Hastert is going to the wall in defense of a dead-to-rights felon by attempting to get the search of his office declared unconstitutional (which would seriously jeopardize the Justice Department case), and has uttered not a single word in defense of Tom DeLay since his indictment last September.
