<p>A committee formed by Tom Delay has just been indicted for improper campaign funding. Let the spin begin…</p>
<p>OOOOOOOK - hahaha - who the heck is that??? or should anyone really care???</p>
<p>He is the House Majority Leader. Some people might care and I don’t think “hahaha” will be the response.</p>
<p>JeepMOM: Wow… </p>
<p>that’s all i’ve got</p>
<p>I am sorry - just all the political junk lately has smushed my brain - my apologies - tho I honestly don’t care about that for now - sorry got other things on my plate these days.</p>
<p>great, then you dont have to respond!</p>
<p>Couldn’t happen to a nicer fellow. :)</p>
<p>And yes, that is sarcasm. DeLay embodies everything that is wrong with the Republican Party. I hope they find enough evidence to send him packing.</p>
<p>lott, rove, robertson (although not a politician, he’s deeply embodied in this party), delay…</p>
<p>gotta love the right</p>
<p>Clinton, Pelosi, Kennedy, Jackson…</p>
<p>Gotta love the left. ;)</p>
<p>gimme something outrageous they’ve done recently</p>
<p>Well, for outrageous, you can’t really top Clinton and Jackson’s fondness for young aides <em>rolls eyes</em>.</p>
<p>I’m not trying to get into a mud-slinging fest, though; I just wanted to point out that corruption isn’t limited to a certain political party.</p>
<p>WILLOW - thanx</p>
<p>Given a choice between Bush’s “leadership” and Clinton’s assignations with Monica, I’d happily bookmark <a href=“http://www.bimbo.com%5B/url%5D”>www.bimbo.com</a> in the Oval Office computer.</p>
<p>The DeLay mess is a torpedo running and it’s hard to say when it’s going to detonate and how much damage it will do. Ditto the Abramhoff (sp.?) investigation. Ditto the Fitzgerald investigation. </p>
<p>Some senior Republican officeholders are probably quietly looking for “disassociation” strategies.</p>

<p>Is it just me… but what is wrong with condemning those who ally themselves with you but have the morality of an anchovy? If you defend them, you are saying that such actions are defensible - acceptable - and one part of your own party and beliefs. IMO, the GOP has a lot to gain by refusing to tolerate gross wrongdoing in their own. Show that this isn’t DeLay as a Republican who is acting so horribly but rather him acting as himself - with the hearty disapproval of his peers. Just me, but one strategy makes your party look better.</p>
<p>Well Mr. Delay seems to have taken the first step. Apparently he is adopting the baseball/steroid approach (of not having “knowingly” done anything wrong). I believe his inital statement was that he (personally) knew nothing about what was going on…it was all the fault of the committee’s lawyers.</p>
<p>Just a reminder - the campaign director for Hillary was also recently indicted - and then found not guilty. An indictment doesn’t really mean that much.</p>
<p>I can’t imagine a better time to get indicted. The newspapers and TV barely have enough time to cover the “big three” of current news (Iraq, Katrina, and the 9/11 replays)–DeLay’s indictment is barely going to get mentioned.</p>
<p>The attorney bringing the charges is a political grandstander.</p>
<p>There are extremists in both parties, but having to “align” myself with frauds such as DeLay, Tancredo, et al, makes my skin crawl. It does not matter that the Dems have loonies such as Clinton, Reid and Pelosi; it’s a fact that the Republicans have prominent members who are the absolute worst kind of politicians. </p>
<p>I really, really hope they nail the scumbag.</p>
