I'm surprised this hasn't come up.

Poor Tom DeLay has been attacked by liberals and the left for eithics violations, is being investigated for accepting illegal contributions, and for influence peddling.  Lets all rally around poor Tom (so that he can swing in his own noose for as long as possible).  I hope he lasts until the (scheduled) congressional elections next year.  So send Tom your crying towels.

Be careful what you wish for, DC, they may make DeLay the next GOP Presidential candidate, which means he will be the next President because elections are now stolen by Republicans instead of won by the candidate with the most votes!

Am I supposed to be impressed or something?

No.

You wrote "elections are now stolen by Republicans instead of won by the candidate with the most votes!"

But if you review the information I provided, you see Bush got over 62 million votes, while Kerry got over just 59 million.  So Bush got the most votes, so how are we refusing to allow the person who got the most votes not to become President?  Hmm.

Unless of course, those evil election returns are a government ploy changed from the Crawford Texas ranch's basement by remote control by Karl Rove.

Yawn.  Like I say, the evidence is in the administrative malfeasance in the registration, disenfranchisement, and polling processes conducted by Republican secretaries of state and other Fascist shills prior to election day.  The evidence is out there if you care to seek it out and study it.  I'd hook you up, but you have access to Google and books.  As I said before, I'm not your Man Friday.

Yes, well, there is always the possibility that elections are becoming increasingly meaningless and the will of the people increasingly subverteted by what we Latinos call "politicaria"  political shananigans (are we becoming a third world polity?  I guess). 

But shoiuldn't we have pitty on poor Tom?  Isn't he being persecuted by the "liberal" news media and hounded by a partisan Texas per...I mean prosecuter?  Weren't all those free trips just legit "fact finding" excursions (evan the golfing trips) in pusuit of info to inform legislation?

Come on folks, we all need to rally around poor Tom DeLay, show him our support, send him our check books.  Stop this evil, Godless and God hating attack on a really honerable and deeply religious man.

Forget the facts Max, they don't mean much.  It will be a bitter day, but the day will come when "I told you so"  will be many and loud

Show Tom DeLay my support?  I'm a lot stronger than I look... I reckon I can support him with one finger.  That's not so much to ask of me.  You've convinced me, Carlos!  I'll be more than happy to show it to him!  ;)

The "one finger" salute?  ;)

Yep!  ;D

But seriously, you know I really don't mind lifting a finger to help the guy out, just so long as I get to pick the finger and once he's out he stays out.  :D

Cat


That's the one I'd give him  ;)

Well, as I understant it, the House Ethircs comittee has omce again changed its rules so that now Tommy the Trmp will now be reviewed.  I really hope this corrupt little twit gets to twist in the wind of his own corruotion, and roast in the heat of his own hubtis.  I just hope the Dems take a long time before they bring the hammer down on "the Hammer".

Forget the facts Max, they don't mean much.  It will be a bitter day, but the day will come when "I told you so"  will be many and loud

Jeez, let's hope so.  If Tom DeLay gets off scot free, the Republicans will be able to get away with bribes right on the House floor.  Oh, wait, they already have.  Hmmm....
:o

Come on guys, Tom DeLay is my favorite mafios, I mean politician.  Give him a break.  He has parlayed his ignorance and hubris into big business.  Shouldn't that count for something?
