LEAGUE CITY -- U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay received an enterprise award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today as well as getting an endorsement from the national group.

DeLay, R-Sugar Land, was presented with the "Spirit of Enterprise" award from the chamber group during a Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Peter Havel, regional executive director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Dallas, presented the award to DeLay for his "outstanding leadership" and "for voting with the business community on a consistent basis."

Havel said the chamber group relies on legislators such as DeLay who believe in free enterprise, fewer taxes and job creation.

Havel also announced the national chamber group's endorsement of DeLay as he seeks re-election for Congress.

[zann725]

8. Precisely! They're all "so in corporate bed together"...just keep giving

each other awards. Foolishly they believe as long as they keep giving each other "awards"...the sheeple will forget all they've criminally done in the past...and present.

3. The chamber of Commerce

[SoCalDem]

4. There are chambers and there are chambers

[Gman]

5. The profit motive has no conscience

as evidenced by this endorsement.

[Rose Siding]

6. Is the UAE a member of the US Chamber of Commerce?

[Kelvin Mace]

7. And my wife asked me why

I threatened to set the dogs on the CoC guy when he came to my office recruiting.

[Mithras61]

9. Of COURSE they have!

Don't you realize how much it costs to buy a NEW politician? It's much more economical to keep the corrupt SOB you've already got and just bribe him a little more carefully to support your interests than it is to corrupt a whole new politician!:sarcasm:

[Just Me]

10. Naturally. After all, he IS a dang crook!!! eom

[VegasWolf]

11. They figure they can get a lower bribery payout with DeLay considering

his legal problems. Another politican might cost them more.

12. Fine folks those chambers. The Azerbaijani Chamber, the Iraqi Chamber

I still wonder if the chambers of international corporate horrors is one of the semi-legit ops Sibel Edmonds was referring to.
