Internal Poll: DeLay leads Morrison 49%-39%
He's just below that crucial 50% threshold. It looks like "Hot Tub" Tom has a race on his hands.

2. I sent money to MORRISON.... LET'S ALL SEND MONEY TO HIM.
I think Texans might be ready to kick his butt... but all of us NEED TO HELP!!!
Please DUers, I don't live in Texas but he is the most REPULSIVE DANGEROUS CRIMINAL BUG (I wish he had exterminated himself when he was an exterminator) IN THE REPUG PARTY! He works against America.

4. I've sent him money 2 times so far
looks like it's time for another donation. Tom Delay is like one of the cockroaches he used to exterminate, his head could be cut off but he'd live for at least another 7 days.

Enron Email to Ken Lay Shows DeLay Solicited Corporate Cash for Redistricting
The Washington Post breaks big news in the DeLay investigation story --

In May 2001, Enron's top lobbyists in Washington advised the company chairman that then-House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) was pressing for a $100,000 contribution to his political action committee, in addition to the $250,000 the company had already pledged to the Republican Party that year.

DeLay requested that the new donation come from "a combination of corporate and personal money from Enron's executives," with the understanding that it would be partly spent on "the redistricting effort in Texas," said the e-mail to Kenneth L. Lay from lobbyists Rick Shapiro and Linda Robertson.
The e-mail, which surfaced in a subsequent federal probe of Houston-based Enron, is one of at least a dozen documents obtained by The Washington Post that show DeLay and his associates directed money from corporations and Washington lobbyists to Republican campaign coffers in Texas in 2001 and 2002 as part of a plan to redraw the state's congressional districts.

5. That's great
but I'm afraid many people in my district don't know who he is. I'm on his e-mail list (because I signed up) but I haven't received a single direct-mail piece from him. I hope he plans some intense marketing in the upcoming weeks!

7. you may be right
Texaz aint a state, it's a relgion. Sugarland is Rome and Delay is the pope. They'll continue to vote for that corrupt SOB and love it when he screws them without kissing them first because he pisses off people outside Texas.

I wish that state would secede, I really do.

I'm just hoping that his poisonous ass gets hauled into prison and he doesn't get to finish his term. That's the only legal way we're going to get rid of him and the way he's poisoned politics in Washington.

Anybody Rick Perry names in his place will probably be an improvement.
