I prefer your position. Corruption in and of itself is bad. However, I wish you didn't have despair. There is a cleansing mechinism for corruption every two years. We can vote them out! The election got rid of Tom DeLay!
I thought the Dems were fighting to keep him off the ballot!
"The election got rid of Tom DeLay!"
WTF??? DeLay is innocent and has been targeted by a partisan witch-hunt. He is on the ballot, which the Democrats are fighting. He will be proven innocent. The one who should go to jail is the partisan prosecutor. Who had to go to 4 or 5 Grand Juries before he got his bogus indictment, where the case for the defense is limited. The defense will present it's case at trial.
Do you consider everyone guilty before they have a chance to present their case in court? As I understand it the prosecutor has to prove guilt in a fair trial. I believe it's called Democracy.
"The election got rid of Tom DeLay!"
That's untrue and you know it! That sleazebag, politically motivated prosecutor in Austin got DeLay out of his position, but it just may not work since DeLay is still on the ballot (more Dim finagling) and DeLay just may win! HA!

Check your facts a bit.
Tom DeLay WON in the primary.
Then tried to resign - except that the Dems have tried to use the courts to block that.
If DeLay stays on the Ballot he will still whip the Dem's butt. Then he can resign and have someone appointed. He's not out because of the voters - He did it for honor.
I don't remember DeLay losing an election. Perhaps you are confused?
