Conservativss are held to the absolute letter of the law, even when trying their best to avoid violating any law, they sometimes fail. Now I don't think Delay has even done that.
On the other hand we have corruption by Liberals on a massive scale with stealing elections, stealing money, selling secrets to the enemy, sexual pervision, the list goes on and on. If anyone tries to hold them accountable, they are attacked in the most vicious manner by the media, and Democratic apparatus.
It really is that shocking.
Your post is an accurate description of American politics since at least Watergate times. To me the mystery is why Pubbies don't figure it out and naively keep kicking Lucy's football, expecting a different outcome "this time." The only explanation that makes any sense to me is that they truly don't comprehend the depth of Democrat corruption, cynicism, America-hatred and ruthlessness.
We already sit through Diversity and Sexual Harassment training and AIDS/GLBT trainings. The commies are here and the conservatives do a lousy job of fighting them. In fact, some of the worst liberal nonsense comes out of our supposedly conservative administration.
Kiss the rings of your oppressors and they will smash you like an ant. That's what our "conservative" friends are learning. If we as a movement can't set basic boundaries against the left, which means clearly identifying who our enemy is, we will continue to lose the battle and be at the mercy of Democrat special interests and RINO'S.
