It’s pretty obvious that Ronnie Earle has a political axe to grind. And the best thing is he gets a film crew to immortalize his crowning achievement in bringing down Delay. Maybe he’ll have better luck in persecu… er prosecuting this case then he did against Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.

No I would call getting contributions from China advanced corruption. -One of many reasons Clinton will never be a “great” president in future history. That and he counld keep Mr. Winky holstered.

I mean if you had a chance to be Pres and go down in history as a notable great – wouldn’t you keeep it holstered for 8 years? I would – heck I’ve had dry spells lasting that long. Well it seemed like that long.

The worst that can come of this is that DeLay gets removed from office. So what? How does that impact anything? Answer: It doesn’t.

At best, this is a “delay” until the next court fight starts. Get it? Delay?

The left in the United States has been going through a slow motion car wreck for 25 years. When will it end?

I believe he is being indicted for conspiracy because his Texas PAC collected money from corporate interests from out of state, which I believe is against Texas law.

I personally would like to get him for abuse of power when he used the homeland security office to find some Texas State Reps (Democratic) who were staying away from a meeting of the Texas state legislature in protest to a DeLay sponsored re-districting.

BTW – did you know that you “man” DeLay avoided the Vietnam War by claiming he was working in a war vital job? Would you like to know what that job was? He sold insecticide. Why are all the neocons so pro war yet all have avoided service in Vam? (Bush, Limbaugh, Wolfawitz, Cheney, DeLay etc.). I personally don’t like DeLay because he is corrupt and a coward. I would still despise him regardless of what he was or is. Its never come up, but I group Kennedy in with DeLay and would personally throw a party if he got nailed.
From Slate:
“What did Tom DeLay do during the Vietnam war? “I don’t know. I think he was in college,” his daughter Dani told Chatterbox when he asked her last Friday. DeLay spokesman Mike Scanlon was similarly stumped when Chatterbox asked him Monday. A story by reporter (and Vietnam vet) Guy Gugliotta in today’s Washington Post, however, brings the news that DeLay “received student draft deferments during the Vietnam era and avoided military service through the 1969 lottery,” which presumably means he drew a high number. Apparently DeLay, who was something of a prankster in his early college days, was able to keep his student deferment after he was asked by the dean to sit out a semester at Baylor University, which he attended from 1965 to 1967. Instead of taking the time off, DeLay got married and enrolled at the University of Houston, where he graduated in 1970.
What’s DeLay’s line about sitting out the war? That he was needed for the war at home against earwigs and cockroaches? (Instead of going into the military, he became an exterminator.) DeLay flack Scanlon said he’d get back to Chatterbox, but never did. Specifically, Chatterbox wanted to know if there was any truth to a report in the Houston Press, a rather emphatically anti-DeLay alternative newspaper, about what DeLay said on this subject at the 1988 Republican convention in New Orleans, when vice-presidential nominee Dan Quayle was under attack for having avoided Vietnam service in the National Guard. (The story was repeated in a Molly Ivins profile of DeLay in the May issue of Playboy.) Here’s what the Houston Press reported:
He and Quayle, DeLay explained to the assembled media in New Orleans, were victims of an unusual phenomenon back in the days of the undeclared Southeast Asian war. So many minority youths had volunteered for the well-paying military positions to escape poverty and the ghetto that there was literally no room for patriotic folks like himself. Satisfied with the pronouncement, which dumbfounded more than a few of his listeners who had lived the sixties, DeLay marched off to the convention.
Chatterbox has heard many draft-dodger alibis in his time, but he has never heard anyone plead reverse discrimination.”
Also thanks from the bottom of my heart for your insults. I always consider the source.

Now its time for you to go clean out the fryolator at what ever DQ you work at. Watch something other than FOX too.

If you answered “yes” to the last two questions, you’re not intelligent enough to form a worth-while opinion on anything political.
