Considering? With what this cost the state, the state should go after them too for the waste of taxpayer money! Why isn't there an"downside" or "accountability" in this "new brave world?"
Just to keep the story straight on Alabama’s Don Siegelman, mentioned in this episode....he WAS convicted for mail fraud and bribes...in particular to HealthSouth’s executive. $500,000 was the magic number, and went into his campaign fund.
With all the efforts to drag the US Attorney General into this...failing...he finally was sentenced in 2009. Six and half-year sentence. He had hopes of some appeals that went nowhere. End of the story. Nothing political about this except the $500,000 were campaign funds. The guy is a four-star crook....taking profits from the HealthSouth pocket (their customers), and using it for campaign purposes.
The travesty gives new meaning to the thought “justice Delayed is justice denied”
The DA needs some justice that denies him to continue living
There is no law when lawyers and judges use it for political vendetta
Doesnt matter to the liberals. They got what they wanted: Tom Delay neutered and out of power.
If it weren’t for corrupt lawyers the 1 or 2 good lawyers wouldn’t have anything to do.
I’d like to seem Tom get back involved in politics. He was brutal on the Liberals. It was great!
And where was the GOPe ??? (...crickets...)
ping
Delay is innocent - the corrupt MSM is guilty. Who’da thought?
The Democrats in Travesty County consider it a crime to be a successful Republican politician. Austin is the toilet bowl of Texas. The Capitol should be moved to Ft. Worth.
Speaker DeLay...
Bring it.
Nine years to resolve this bogus indictment, meanwhile DeLay's political career destroyed, legal bills probably in the seven-figure region, not to mention stress in the personal and family life. All because the Dems seek to criminalize political behavior. People on our side need to wisen-up that the Dems play this as a blood sport (see Wisconsin currently... or Rick Perry) and start playing hardball, sliding into third spikes up.
For the Progressives it was “Mission Accomplished”; one human destroyed by word of mouth and subversion.
IMHO
I give you the next President of the United States of America - Tom “The Hammer” Delay!!!!!
Does that not sound better than:
“We got leftover Romney, reheated Bush, or crucified Palin - hold your nose and pick (no pun)”
From what I understand, Ronnie Earle also tried going after Lt Gov Bob Bullock. What kind of crap did Earle dream up about Bullock? BTW Bob Bullock was a Dem (but a Texan first).
The left only needed the accusation.
fake but accurate.
The goal was achieved they knocked out delay.
