When Earle is slapped down, DeLay will be vindicated and people will not be able to distinguish between all of these technical charges and will just assume he was vindicated en toto.

The latest Limbaugh Letter has on it cover something like "democrat justice: Conviction before trial" The DNCmedia will from now on speak of DeLay as guilty of everything - "why else would he give up" "there must be stuff that we will never know that is even worse than what we do know" "his crimes put him in the category of Nixon" etc etc - from this day on his guilt will never be erased from the mouths or pens of every dem.

What good is a majority of republicans if they're swamped with rinos in their midst? Kinda defeats the purpose of being a majority. I would laugh at the irony in that if it weren't so tragic.

Delay was SPENDING way too much.

He was a lightening rod for the libs who will of course move on to smear someone else.

Bottom line still:

As long as,

1) Libs threaten to Impeach Bush
2) Libs threaten to abandon our troops.
3) Justice Stevens and Ginsburg may retire or expire

Conservatives will vote in mass to keep the GOP in majority status.

You were in a hurry and slipped because it is wet outside?

Do you have a cast? Can I sign it?

Yes join them and you will be a happy man if what you consider victories is taking a handful of members from the majority party but at the same lose those "insignificant"events we call elections.

why is it that so many people still keep mentioning Texas and Earle as the reasons for this move? This has nothing to do with that case. This is all about Jack Abramoff. It was easy to paint the Texas case as partisan, weak-rat inspired...whatever you want to call it. This new case puts Delay in far more serious potential trouble. He was just too close to Abramoff, and thats not good for Delay's future in politics.

At this point, DeLay might have had to step down as ML without that rule. I remember when the GOP tried to get rid of that rule. The hypocritical Dems howled and cried and the GOP dropped it.

The Abramoff thing is just another hit. The Earle thing is the reason he had to step down. Abramoff (and right now, DeLay is only guilty of being "too close" to him) just makes it impossible to get the ML post back.

I agree...with or without the rule, DeLay was toast.

In the mind of the media, DeLay was guilty the moment Earle indicted him. He still has his Congressional seat and therefore a platform from which to defend himself and any news on him will be seen throughout the media, including exoneration. He can use that to his advantage when it comes.

If you look up the word wimp or spineless in the dictionary you will probably find a picture of a Republican politician.

They will do anything to avoid a fight.

They repeatedly give up the Republican leaders with some backbone to appease the democratic goon squad hoping they won't be next.

Newt, Bob Livingston, Lott and now Tom Delay. The reason they don't go after Hasster is because he was approved by them and is no threat.

They get our leaders on nothing while they stock their committees and leadership positions with people like Hillary ,Byrd, Dodd, Kennedy, Schumer,Hollings who should have been in jail or put against the wall and shot for their corruption and law breaking.

This kind of cowardice shows up in their policy making decisions.

This is why they give money to and negotiate with terrorists such as the PLO and Hamas and they will never establish a stable Iraq.

This is why they try to appease them by giving them a state of their own.

This is what directs them to pressure Israel to give into their demands while they slaughter their people.

This is why these terrorists have no respect for them because they know that our leaders don't have the guts to do what is necessary to win.

This is why the Democrats bully them around and kick sand in their faces and take their lunch money while they supposedly control the White House, The Senate, and House of Rep.

It takes much more than numbers to lead and win, it takes fighters who will stand their ground and take a bloody nose so they can give one.

They have the numbers but they don't have the stomach for a fight and everyone knows it, especially the Democrats and the terrorists.
