Getting rid of DeLay also began a period in GW's adm. when things started going wrong and there was little or no explanation from the top. A bad and destructive period IMHO, that led to the 06 losses.

The more I think about it the more I begin to wonder if there was a mole or just someone who got jealous. Jealousy can be so destructive both in private and public life.

I feel if Tom Delay had still been there in 2006 as leader the losses would have been much less and the Republicans probably would not have lost control of both houses.

Dems are world class experts at destroying and removing opponents. Republicans do not even engage the thought. So we exist in parallel worlds. Gonzales' removal would be just another scalp "nothing personal, just business" from the dems. Just one more way to weaken the Executive Branch of U S Government because a Republican is in power. The Constitution means NOTHING to the dems.

In phhsstok's preview thread he linked an article about Conrad Black going on trial. I have not read it, but mention Conrad Black because he was a media 'mogul' who happened to be conservative. He has been destroyed by people who cannot bear powerful conservative opposition.

Same thing happened to Tom Delay. He was too effective. Hence he had to be removed.

Did the dems ever have a bad word to say about Dennis Hastert? I don't remember any, because he was a 'moderate.'

You're right, RG, now that I think about it.

And we're still in it.

As dangerous as the Dhimmicrats are to this nation... they are highly-focused when it comes to attacking Republicans and this administration. With the DBM by their side, they cowed a Republican administration and turned a Republican majority into a weak and spineless minority. With the 2006 losses... RINO's have increased their power in Congress and our two leading presidential candidates for 2008 could easily pass for conservative Democrats.

I would say that we're not only still in this destructive period... but that we don't have any intention of leaving it as well.
