I wasn't wrong....I do understand that Earle was on a fishing expedition and didn't have a case. Delay should not have stepped down from his leadership position!
He's a liability now, because he ran for re-election, won, then stepped down. Now he's given the seat to a DUmocrat because he wouldn't stand up to them and RINOs who want his seat or leadership position. "Political liability" isn't the case because he won the primary. He's only a target by dems and media whores making hay of the situation, just as Frist is a target of the leftist liars. That alone should not cause Delay to resign regardless if spineless GOP higher ups support him or not.
DUmocrats don't abide by any ethical or moral standard, so the Repubs shouldn't be required to step down just because a DUmmy starts a smear campaign. When did Reid or Pelosi call for Patches Kennedy, Wm. Jefferson or Moonbat McKinney to resign their seats? I won't hold my breath either.
"Delay should not have stepped down from his leadership position! "
He Had no choice! Indicted officials are removed from leadership positions. House Rules, and the attempt to carve an "Earle exception" failed, for good political reason.
