Delahunt’s Zinger

This is finally getting some coverage. I needs a LOT more. Delahunt should be censured at a minimum. I'm waiting for a formal response from the VPs office; I hope I don't have to wait too long. His comments were outrageous. And where were the republian's to come to Addington's defense during the exchange -- silent. That is shameful.

“Delahunt should be censured at a minimum.”

He needs to be booted OUT!

[healy61]

And a republican admits they stood with a thumb in their rear ends and said nothing. Even the democrats are shunning this guy. I would have said something and meant every words.

If these spineless GOP wussies wont stand up to the dembot idiots, why should I spend my time and money to help Republicans get elected?

Delahunt was not elected by the people.
He lost the vote, but sought out a corrupt
Judge to overturn the election results for him.

Who were the Pubbies on the committee who sat on their hands? They should be taken to task as much (or more) than Delahunt.

"It was shameful that we didn't do anything. I can't explain it," says the GOP member.

Yeah, we've been wondering the same thing for years.

He’s a Democrat from Massachusetts. Unless he’s caught with a dead girl or a live boy, he’s not going anywhere. And based on past events, maybe not even then.

[muawiyah]

Thinking of even newer interrogation techniques that could be used on Delahunt to find out why he thinks about AlQaida taking revenge on Republicans so much.

Dollars to doughnuts the puke is a member, or at least a "pledge".

The stupid, stupid Democrats who are chosing to run against the people of the United States this year really should be handed their heads on platters on election day.

“Unless he’s caught with a dead girl or a live boy, he’s not going anywhere. And based on past events, maybe not even then.”

It takes more than that nowdays.

[Diogenesis]

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to be feared."
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero

[Migraine]

He needs to be booted OUT! ...

...but first, made into a poster-child and campaign commercial star in the upcoming elections. That quote personifies the dimowits' "love of country".

And where were the republian's to come to Addington's defense during the exchange -- silent. That is shameful.

I heard NO republicans(small R on purpose) scream out on this. It got some attention on Rush and Howie Carr's show... but I didn't catch it on the Drive-by's. Delahunt's arrogance was treasonous!

[SumProVita]

Excellent suggestion!

[LibLieSlayer]

I will not work for or donate to the Republican Party until they return to the Reagan Doctrine... until then... they are dead to me. I will vote against osama’s boy however.

The more things change...the more they stay the same, eh?

Who were the Pubbies on the committee who sat on their hands? They should be taken to task as much (or more) than Delahunt.

The candidate selection process for state and Federal offices, at least among the GOP where I live, is severely dysfunctional.

Most Republican Members of Congress are wealthy, come from wealth, go to the same schools, the same churches (if they go at all), belong to the same clubs, and marry the same women as their opposite numbers.

They don't fundamentally disagree (for the most part) with Democrats on the core values of liberalism.

They DO disagree, to some extent, on what measures are sensible or prudent to implement nondiscrimination and compassion, their ruling principles.

They are, to use Lawrence Auster's great term, "right-liberals".

So when exposed to communists like Delahunt (a communist is merely a left-liberal who has followed his values to their obvious conclusion), they shrink away from confrontation, lest they be accused (inevitably) of being Nazis.

It is very important that an opposition, however small, be elected to the House of Representatives that will act against the interests of liberalism (both varieties) whenever and wherever found. Perhaps there are 20-30 Members now who fill the bill.

I'm afraid, however, that to get them out of the GOP and into a new party, the GOP will have to collapse first, or be taken over from the grass roots.

[tsmith130]

Sigh...so true. Except these days he’s not whispering or working secretly. It’s right out there for all to see and yet...nothing becomes of it.
