That may sound like the boogie man, but where is the crime? Inuendo is not the moral equivilent of crime.

The democrats are making a playing a very stupid game by going after Republicans on these donations and lobbyists issues. The Republicans are going to hit them hard on these issues as well. Soros and his cronies, the homosexual lobby, and the environmentalist lobby, the abortion lobby, are going to be far more damaging than Abramoff.

"That may sound like the boogie man, but where is the crime? Inuendo is not the moral equivilent of crime."
Problem is if enough innuendo is pushed on the public, some will not know what to believe. Hence the loss of another Republican vote. They might not go to the RAT party, but Independent. And this slaughter will not stop for the 2006 election cycle. The RAT attack team has probably dozens of thing ready to spring and that is all this RAT attack team has to do. Nothing for the American people, just crap.

Yeah, really. There are lots of clues to suggest this is nothing more than a hit piece: The gratuitous inclusion of Delay without any details on his role, the fact that the evidence was released into the Congressional record in 2001 (after Clinton was gone) but that release "damaged" the case against this guy (it must be the weakest of cases, then), the suggestion in the title that they were talking about Abramoff.
People do forget the gigantic number of conservative groups that were audited under Clinton. Forgive me for being a little skeptical here.

I expect the gristmill of justice to grind exceedingly slow before we see the full web of accusations, offenses, and charges possibly criminal.
We can only infer from what we see so far that there is no exclusitivity of questionable and likely condemnable acts being done by folks on BoOTH sides of the aisle.
Keep in mind, it is an election year, so expect the left to wail away, even as they hide their own from the same "fair and impartial" coverage and treatment of the issues at hand.

I think it's more of a filler article,, keeps the newspumps primed over the weekend, just present some what sound like ominous allegations titled to titillate the cranially impaired, ie; anyone who would vote for Kerry or Gore. lol
and folks wonder why the la times and most newsrags are losing circulation and money? tsk tsk
most of them folks can't read. lol

"...fry 'em; or let 'em twist slowly in the wind..." uh... yeah, that's a good idea... but fry who? The investigators who abused their government positions to go after someone for his support of conservative politicians? Or Mr. Hurwitz for having the audacity to own controlling interest in a business that failed?
Businesses do fail you know... and it's typically not a crime so much as shame when you lose your own investment capital in the process.
I don't know enough about this particular case to know if there has been a crime and if there was, I would not be surprised to learn that it was not Mr. Hurwitz, Mr. Delay nor these Northern California congress critters who committed the crime... could well be a case of democratic appointees or their lackey's going after someone to discredit him and remove a source of revenue supporting conservative opponents...

The difference between us and the democarts is that we know WHEN to hit back. The timing in politics is everything. If we hit them on the "issues" related to Soros, the gay and abortion lobbies this coming summer and fall, it will hurt them much more.

This summer, a judge in Texas agreed and awarded Hurwitz attorney fees and other costs in a civil suit he filed. Slap!!! This whole thing was inspired by the Sierra Club et al to strip money from Huriwitz for the Headwaters buyout of Pacific Lumber Co.
$1,000 bucks to Pombo...big whoop de doo. I've probably given that much to Pombo

We didn't when Reid & Lehey leaked classified information. We didn't when Kerry outed a CIA official. we didn't go after the Democraps for thier hypocracy on the same crimes that DeLay lost his job over! ...Shall I go on?

The first three points that you mentioned will have little effect on the electorate and it will be wasting energy to pursue it. Leave it to the Radio talk shows to consume such points. On the issue of Delay, I do not think he committed any crimes so you need to retract what you wrote. However, we will find very damaging things to use against the democrats corruption, but we shall do it closer to elections time to have a real impact. Remember the name "Soros".
