Remember boys and girls - only Republic ethics make the headlines.
Because the Left doesn't claim to have them.
The Democrats that are after Delay's skin are the epitome of arrogance and hypocrisy. The rules do not apply to them. "Do as we say, not as we do". Even though they do exactly the same things that Delay has done they feel that they have exclusive rights that nobody else has.
This is going to get nasty. It will look like a Polish firing squad but the Dems will gladly sacrifice as many of their own as needed to get to Delay.
No picture. Just a red x. Can you send again?
The Dems opened a big ole can of worms they are gonna wish they hadn't
The Dems want investigations? .... Bring them on
The Dems have demanded this war, why should we dissappoint?
If that which was not an ethics violation, yesterday, becomes one today, then the Democrats shall reap the whirlwind.
They asked for it. They got it. Suffer, scumbags.
PRECISELY. In their fanatical jihad against DeLay, they have just purchased and sharpened the petard they are about to be hoisted upon.
I, for one, would be willing to lose DeLay to get 100 Democrat congressmen, and 20 Democrat senators. That's called a fair trade in my book.
Remember, it was George Stephanopoulos who threatened an "Ellen Romesch strategy" to ABC if they continued to air the accusations of Gary Aldrich. This is nothing if not extortion. Anyway, these rules seem made to be broken. Suppose I were George Soros and I wanted to cozy up to a Congressman by paying for his vacation. I could give the money (even after the trip) to Moveon.org who could make a bequest to another group who gives money to a charity which could lawfully pay for the trip. Money is fungible and no one could trace it.
The word honest is now spelled C-O-M-P-L-E-X! Sounds like the Clinton definitions all over again.
Any word with over one letter is complex to all politicians.
Congress is todays mafia and Don Clinton is missing so they will probably appoint Hillary in 2008!
Hard to type when I am laughing this hard. A "patriot?" He met with Saddam when we were about to go to war where American men and women were maimed and killed by our enemies.
In a more civilized era, he would have been tried and convicted of treason by now.
LOL
Exactly.
DeLay's detractors are on a political witch hunt.

Current House rules do not forbid members from accepting privately financed travel. But lawmakers are required to "make inquiry about the source of the funds" for the trip
Pelosi and McDermott won't see one bit of heat.
To this point...the only two dems brought up...now that the committee is back up running....well, they are small fish to say the least.
Way too many people around here were just so sure that if Delay was given his chance to go before the committee to clear his name, Pelosi and McDermott would catch heat.
And now we learn that the two most conservative members on that committee will not be allowed to sit on the Delay hearings.
The pool of temp replacements.....well....look for RINOs...AND DEMOCRATS.
Well....looks like that aint gonna happen. Because Republicans on the hill have not spine.
