1. Delay

Of course they do....crooks and felons stick together

[RC]

2. I can imagen the screaming from the rightwingnuts, followed by the

swiftboading of any Liberal suspected of doing this. Death penalty anyone?

3. Politics Over Country

There's the PROOF.

4. You are right, that is proof that they are putting politics before

their duty to serve the American people (all of the people) and the US Constitution. This link between the two should be publicized, shout it from the rooftops. It is a prime example of GOP party loyalty at the expense of the US.

5. It Becomes Incredibly Hard Sometimes

to keep up with so much corruption. I get so overwhelmed that I miss the simple truth. But there it is.

[texpatriot2004]

7. "Culture of Corruption" there is so much corruption in this regime.

You are right that there is just so, so much of it.

10. To be a republican these

days..does mean you're for Greed, Obfusation, and Polluted Power.

[texpatriot2004]

11. GOP Party loyalty unto death - not their own death mind you but

the death of others, innocent others.

[Cha]

12. We might as well be

in a Science Fiction film fighting "The Souless Gargoyles from the Oil Slick Sewage Lagoon".

Only this is real..isn't it?

[Cyrano]

6. Sorry to be a pessimist, but I don't think DeLay will be convicted.

Putting DeLay on trial in Texas would be like putting Al Capone on trial in Chicago for jaywalking.

Even if Molly Ivins somehow ended up on the jury, a DeLay crony would put out a contract to whack her.

8. Apparently, they have a crapload of documented evidence...

Peace.

17. Yes Fooj the do.n/t

[Singular73]

9. I didnt think they would get him indicted either in Texas

Yet they did.

Interesting.

[Hawkowl]

13. He's going down

He will be convicted. He's going to be tried in Austin. Liberal stronghold in Texas. I knew he'd be indicted. Ronnie Earle is on a mission.

14. In a related story

85% of Republicans are woefully uninformed about what is being done to this country under the guise of religiosity.

15. Tough shit !

That fucker is gonna get handcuffed.

[truthisfreedom]

16. 53 percent of Republicans believe their party is too close to bug business

at least that's what i read. 8^)
