I am still waiting to find out what Delay was guilty of.
It was a Soviet style show trial. There was no crime. Ronnie Earle has run away from the trial. But GOP ethics have those who are charged “stepping down” from positions of authority while the investigations proceed. Democrats have no ethics and can hold higher officer and even run the investigations of their own frauds (look at who got to ask questions during the 9-11 national security failures hearings, look at who got to ask the questions during the Fannie Mae investigation).
If Obama is elected, he’s said that he’ll investigation the actions of the Bush administration. It will serve as the 2010 Congressional election talking points “we must keep this culture of corruption from returning to Washington...”
Me too - the worst Ive heard is : “He’s too influential! He blah blah blah doesnt do what we like blah blah...”
Nothing...
Ask Ronnie Earle if he really wanted this to go to trial...
And I’ll bet you he didn’t...Considering it took many different Grand juries to eventually be bullied into indicting Tom DeLay...
All the charges were eventually dropped if I recall correctly...
But then again the goal was to take the most powerful member of Congress out of the game to pave the way for what situation we are in now...
Me too. He is guilty, if anything, of wanting to do the right thing.
