Seriously, can Tom Delay really stop an investigation??

[skooooo]

How can one person have so much power?

[TomInTib]

1. he can't stop it but

he can prevent it from starting or progressing.
There is a fine line there.

[Mr_Spock]

2. We need to unseat him if it takes a revolution

He can NOT be allowed to get away with this crap!

[ailsagirl]

7. I thought he was under investigation for one of his many offenses

This guy is not to be BELIEVED

3. Tom Davis headed one about Hurricane Isabel

Last year or the year before..

I don't think DeLay can afford to expend that much political capitial on the issue of race.

[The Magistrate]

4. Not In The Senate, Ma'am

In the House he can do damned near anything that occurs to him....

[benny05]

The Hearing would originate in the House

5. Has he threatened to?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. Supposedly he already did, saw on CNN. Repub congressman (don't remember

name) today said they would initiate investigation of FEMA response. Delay has supposedly already squashed this, saying he's "not trying to sweep anything under rug" but that it would be bad to investigate these people while they're still trying so hard to deal with the situation. That was roughly what they said..

6. Can a bear poop in Yellowstone?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Just a few of those reasons.

8. So what can we do to make certain an investigation takes place?

A real one.. not a whitewash

11. There's already one scheduled for the Senate!

Susan Collins is to be the Chair, and Lieberman the co-Chair. I don't know for sure, but with 435 members in the House, and DeLay not being Leader anymore, I can't believe he alone can stop an investigation by a House Committee.

If enough people contact their Reps and demand one, DeLay won't stand a chance.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Collins is my sorry senator. Don't pin your hopes on her to

do it justice.

14. Why do you say that? I watched her as Chair of a committee

this past year. Sorry I don'pt even remember what it was for, there's been so many investigations! I like the way she speaks logically and to the point. I know she's a Pub, but she seems to be one of the few better ones to me.

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Because she says one thing in DC and another at home. I just hope

she is sincere about really finding out what happened and won't shy away from stickign it to Bush wherever he may be at fault.

[katinmn]

10. I heard him say that decision-making" works from the ground up"

people are such fools to listen to him...

[Lex]

13. I think the State of Louisiana should hold an investigation/hearing

if the feds are refusing to do it because it will show how incompetent they are.

The State of Louisiana's investigation/hearings can't be stopped by Delay.

[HR_Pufnstuf]

15. His name is "delay" isnt it?
