The GOP is Coming Unglued!
Bush wilts in debate
Cheney's debate lies are getting the scrutiny they deserve.
'Administration sources' continue to de-bunk administration spin.
Brenner exposes critical misjudgements in Iraq.
DeLay is on the ropes.

They're falling apart.

Don't stand back and watch--keep shakin'. We've got to kick it down!

4. KICK DELAY's BUTT, TOO!
Read this!

CBS) The House ethics committee Wednesday criticized House Majority Leader Tom DeLay for conduct that appeared to link political donations to legislation and for improperly contacting U.S. aviation authorities for political purposes, House sources said Wednesday.

The committee's findings were an extraordinary second rebuke of the Texas Republican's ethical conduct in just six days.

The committee of five Democrats and five Republicans deferred to Texas authorities allegations that DeLay violated state campaign finance rules.

The committee's findings — a letter admonishing his conduct — nonetheless spared him a lengthy investigation by the ethics panel.

Last Thursday the same committee, in an investigative report, admonished DeLay for offering to support the House candidacy of a Michigan lawmaker's son, in return for the lawmaker's vote for a Medicare prescription drug benefit.

The committee acted on a three-part complaint from Rep. Chris Bell, D-Texas. The allegations accused DeLay of soliciting political contributions from Westar Energy, a Kansas company, in return for legislative favors; violating Texas laws prohibiting corporate political donations; and improperly contacting aviation authorities to track down a plane carrying Texas Democratic legislators who were trying to defeat a DeLay-engineered congressional redistricting plan.

The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the report had not yet been released.

Westar executives made a $25,000 donation to an organization affiliated with DeLay just before attending a two-day get-together at a Virginia resort with the House GOP leader.

Described by a DeLay spokesman as "a golf fund-raising event," several executives from the Topeka-based company went to the 15,000-acre Homestead resort in early June 2002 for what participants said was an energy issues roundtable.

9. Don't forget that Rep. Candice Miller - R, MI was also in on the
bribery and extortion scandal that Tom DeLay perpetrated.

15. But the Republicans are more focused on arresting
Michael Moore for handing out underwear to newly registered voters; this world is insane.

8. The most important part is to keep up the pressure.
We're not safe until John is in the White House and John is in the Blair house!

Let's not get complacent!

12. Reminds me of a story. Someone came in my office and
said "is Bob in". I said no and the guy said "isn't it funny how we get nicknames like Bob out of Robert, or Jim out of James, or Rick out of Richard" and I said "or Dubya out of the White House." Ha

17. No, I disagree
We are never safe. We had the senate and the BigDawg for 8 years and the attacks only got shriller. These pricks are tenacious. Our nation has a cancer called the mass media, the mass corporate media which has led us to this sorry state. John/John will not put it in remission. IMHO it needs drastic surgery.

Ever vigilant, my friends! Lets go have at em!

16. Got 'em by the jewels -- start squeezing
You know these crooks aren't going to just hand back what they've stolen, we're going to have to pry our wonderful country out of their greedy, blood-stained fingers.

Pressure!

18. Hannity is responding like a wounded animal...er, pussy cat
He is in big time spin mode. Total outlandish claims about the debate. Same with Coulter on Scarborough.
