The Audacity Party

[phantom power]

Democrats huff and haw, amazed that DeLay gets away with this stuff. How can he withstand the fury of a page A-18 story in the Washington Post? How can he go on, after getting a "reprimand" - i.e., "We know you broke the law, and though we aren't actually going to do anything about it, we'll ask you firmly not to do it again" - from the House Ethics Committee?

How? I'll tell you how. DeLay just doesn't care. He does what he wants, and never pays a price. The Democrats who think that a bad two-day story is going to clip his wings are the same ones who thought two draft-dodgers would never attack the patriotism of a war hero. Again and again, Democrats approach political battles by saying, "Now old boy, let's discuss the rules under which we'll engage while I tie on my soft, padded gloves - wouldn't want to hit you too hard, you know. What are you doing with that knife?"

they scream. And the Dems wonder why their base is mad at them!
