Subject: Even Tom DeLay's voters think he should leave

Based on what you know right now, do you think Tom DeLay should remain in his position as House Majority Leader, he should resign as House Majority Leader but remain a member of Congress, or do you think he should completely resign from Congress?
39 percent: Remain House Majority Leader
21 percent: Resign Leadership
36 percent: Resign From Congress
4 percent: Not Sure
So 57% of the people polled in Texas thinks he should either leave Congress or his post in Congress.
Gee, I wonder if he'll get re-elected next year.

What letter grade would you give Tom DeLay for his job as congressman? An A, B, C, D, or an F?
A: 23 percent
B: 19 percent
C: 18 percent
D: 16 percent
F: 22 percent
Not Sure: 1 percent
Based on what you know right now, do you think Tom DeLay should remain in his position as House Majority Leader, he should resign as House Majority Leader but remain a member of Congress, or do you think he should completely resign from Congress?
39 percent: Remain House Majority Leader
21 percent: Resign Leadership
36 percent: Resign From Congress
4 percent: Not Sure
See, this is an example of the kind of stats FOX NOOSE (where reality gets hanged) loves to feature. A joker like Brit Hume will say (deceitfully), "The highest polled percentage of DeLay's constituents grade his job as an A," or "By a margin of 18 points, DeLay's polled constituents say he should remain in the leadership position."
I'm not saying FOX will choose these particular polls, but it illustrates the way they get their "facts."

I say the only place you can trust Tom DeLay is in prison under 24-hour surveillance by armed guards!

They left off my choice -- booted out, indicted, prosecuted, jailed. But, I'm not one of his constituents.

Poor Tom, and he was so good at killing cockroaches I guess he became one.

You're making a mistake. Tom DeLay is in the US House, meaning he gets reelected in his district not the entire state of Texas.
Tom DeLay hails from the 22nd district of Texas, probably the most conservative area of Texas. He may or may not stay house majority leader, but he has that house seat as long as he wants it.

The voters of the 22nd district not only have to be far-right to vote for DeLay, they also have to love a crook!

Would they be (a-holes, stupid, corrupt, idiots, morons, or fundamentalists - pick one) to re-elect him if he were serving time, or evan indicted for llegal fund raising and bribe taking?

it wouldn't be the first time someone convicted of a crime while in office was re-elected. never underestimate the stupidity of the public in electing people unfit for a job.

How do you know? The, at the time, recent scandal probably would have hurt him serverly. Besides his vice president, Al Gore, ran and couldn't win.

Clinton was far more popular than the right-wing and the corporate-controlled media was willing to admit, AND his vice president, Al Gore, ran, and DID win, but his victory was extra-constitutionally nullified by the GOP Fascists in Florida and the crooked partisans on the U.S. Supreme Court!!!
Mind you, we've gone around in circles about this so often, it's high time to just agree to disagree.
