The bleating about Earle being a partisan witchhunter is laughable.

Specific examples of Democrats he has prosecuted please? I keep hearing this claim, I have yet to see any credible evidence to back it up. Source please?

He'll be found innocent, but in the meantime the presstitutes will beat this like a rented mule....

With any luck at all, Helen will suffer the same fate as the rest of the DUmmies - her poor old heart will just not be able to handle that BIG 0!

Throw in an indictment for impersonating a conservative and you've got yourself a deal.

This was done in a very liberal area in Texas. Austin is Berkely on the Brazos (or on the Colorado). Facts get in the way of what dims want to do.

Character only matters if you have standards.

Libs don't claim to have any and they always live up to them.

I don't know what you mean about "level". This is a COUNTY prosecuter, not some federal DA. He is going after a few thousand dollars of campaign donations, something that usually is handled at a federal level by the FEC with fines.

His "charge" against DeLay is conspiracy, suggesting that DeLay had some conversation with someone where they talked about a fundraiser, knowing that there was something illegal about it.

This was the ONLY thing he could charge DeLay for, because any actual election code violations would have to be tried in DeLay's county, and that prosecuter had no interest in wasting his time.

Conspiracy is a state charge which the travis county DA could do something about.

Imagine your local county prosecuter finding someone illegally sent money to Nancy Pelosi, and then bringing her up on conspiracy charges because he hates democrats.

Lousy though this is, several good things could come out of it. For one thing, maybe it might finally take the spotlight off of the Sheehan/Bush epic saga, as the far left have sensed a new drop of blood to start a feeding frenzy around. Second, once Delay is found not guilty, as will probably be the case, just imagine what a great time we'll have listening to those same lefties wail and cry: "Curses, foiled again!"

Ordinarily perhaps but NOT HERE.

I guess here, meaning Texas.

THIS PROSECUTOR SHOULD BE FORMALLY DISBARRED!

If it's found he never had any credible, legitimate evidence, I agree.

He's (Earl) the Travis County DA, a solidly-Democrat stronghold. As long as he continues to pursue Republicans, he would be re-elected if caught naked in a barn with a Merino sheep.

Unless the sheep was part of a Nativity scene...

As Rush says "give the Left a bag of excrement and they will step in it every time"

Yes, I remember 94. In 94 nobody knew what was coming until it hit them.

It can hardly be like 94 if we are talking about it over a YEAR away from the election.

You are either a fool or a troll. Probably both.

Not good for the GOP.

Can we get Pelosi and Landrieu?

I've heard that this is a political fight, not a legal one. What I don't like about all this is that people are after contributions instead of constitutionalism.

I don't think there will be a jury that would convict him of a crime. Darn, Slick Willie was so much better and HE lost.

The excrement with NO and LA must be pretty bad for the Dems to trot this out now. I'd figured on them waiting a while.
