DeLay says top Dems close to treason

Democratic leaders are acting like traitors by opposing the Iraq war, and President Bush must answer with a toughened stance, former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said Monday.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "are getting very, very close to treason," DeLay said in a meeting with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

"We have people dying," he said. "Not just our soldiers, but innocent citizens dying in Iraq and Afghanistan at the hands of these evil people, and you have your elected leaders making these kinds of statements that embolden the enemy. It's unbelievable."

Bush cannot afford to lose this fight [with Reid over withdrawal], DeLay said. The president must demand a "clean bill" that does not set a withdrawal date or include so-called pork barrel spending on unrelated projects, he said.

Sorry Tom, but the way I define the word treason, the Rats are way over the top!

[dfwgator]

Close?

[From One - Many]

‘aid and comfort’ was removed as a reason for treason during the clintoon fiasco. Didn’t you get the memo?

[Arrowhead1952]

CLOSE???

[rhombus]

Close? There he goes being too polite. We wouldn’t wan’t the Democrats to get outraged again and challenge people who question their patriotism. Oh no, that wouldn’t do at all. ;-)

Dammit, Tom. You all had your chance to show some spine and smack down the treasonous Dems and their media accomplices WHEN YOU HAD CONTROL OF CONGRESS. You refused to put up the fight against these traitors that you should have, they were able to frame the WoT in a negative light, and because of that you LOST CONTROL OF CONGRESS and now you can’t do much, at all, acout the treason that the Dems are committing. Buncha spineless milquetoasts let the Dems walk all over them and tried to appease the domestic enemy media. Now you want to use the ‘T’ word when you’re nearly powerless to do anything about it.

[pissant]

I’d have them sitting in cells awaiting their trials and the noose, if I had my way.

[Liberty Valance]

Will Ronnie Earle ever bring Tom to trial at Berkley on the Colorado?

[Diogenesis]

Terrorists act like terrorists. Traitors act like traitors.

The Dems ARE traitors. Wake up, Tom.

[TNCMAXQ]

Can you imagine what the reaction would have been in WW2 if the Senate Republican leader had said the US was losing?? I suspect he would have been forced to resign.

Typical ball-less republican response to the ratz over the top treason.

They are RATZ and they HAVE NO LOYALTY TO THIS COUNTRY, ONLY TO THEIR RATZ PARTY.

All ratz and those who vote for them should be hunted down and locked up.

[EagleUSA]

Close?

Hello Tom— your soft approach does not tell the reality. They ARE treasonous, as well as law breakers (Pelosi, et al) — thye want to defeat our troops, cause a FAILURE IN Iraq, desert the Iraqi people and leave them to genocide -— what else do you need ???

[Wormwood]

All ratz and those who vote for them should be hunted down and locked up.

Neat.

[thiscouldbemoreconfusing]

Close? You idiot DeLay, in my court they would have been making big stones into little stones years ago! Find some guts or shut up!

I am getting sick and tired of the cowards running the Republican party in this country.

[From One - Many]

ah, no.....
back in the day when there were folks in D.C. with the will to do the right thing,
he'd of been hung!

[airedale]

The top Democrat’s message to the Syrian’s, Iranian’s, Jiahdi’s, etc. is “Help us get elected and things will be better for you.” It’s the same message they gave to a lot of forces that have been against the US from Viet Nam and Cambodia, the Soviet Union, the Sandinista and to the forces in Mogadishu.

I wish people with a public megaphone would make this point about the DemoRats strategy. The American people need to understand what the DemoRats and their media allies are really saying.

We've heard her before, but here she is again. Beccy Cole, definitely the opposite of treason. Cut & Paste the link:

I think the point everyone is missing, is that Tom is the ONLY powerful republican putting the words TREASON and the democrats, Pelosi and Reid in the same sentence. This is a big deal. It is just the start of calling the donks what they are and how they are running Congress.

[Noumenon]

Well, here’s a case where I’m ‘pro-choice’. I’d let them choose between the gallows or a firing squad, and blindfold/no blindfold.

There’s a lot to be said for a public hanging, though.

[Al Gator]

You are SOOOOOO correct.

They threatened the “nuclear option” for months, and then put their tails between their legs up under their yellow bellies and ran like the cowardly curs they are.

Don’t get me started........
