Tom DeLay Conviction Overturned By Texas Appellate Court (Tom DeLay for Speaker)
Huffington Post ^ | 09/19/2013 10:53 am EDT

A Texas court ruled Thursday to overturn the conviction of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas), who was found guilty of money laundering in 2010.

According to KHOU 11 and the Associated Press, the Third Court of Appeals in Austin said the case's evidence was "legally insufficient to sustain DeLay's convictions," formally acquitting the former congressman on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Are you being sarcastic? Gingrich is the founder of RINOism. He’s the one who knocked out the fiscal and social legs from the conservative stool. It’s a direct line from Gingrich to Obama. He served in the House with the same, “honor and distinction,” that Bergdahl served in the Army. By all rights, Gingrich should be executed for treason for his protection of Clinton and gutting of the Constitution.

A lot are mentioning Jeb Hensarling from Texas, who to be honest I know very little about.

I am also for cutting through the BS to do with his idiot father and the stupid beard. As much as I have no problem with leaving Bergdahl there, the real controversy here is the 5 terrorists who are right now plotting more mayhem and murder because of Obama. Lets not distract from the insanity by focusing on the petty. I think that kind of happened on Benghazi too.

You want Tom Delay who thought an infinite amount of government spening was only a fraction of what it should be?

Let us all recall that, as majority leader, Tom Delay's big initiative was called "The K Street Project".

Totally dreaming, but what about Meadows for whip? He was a real leader during the shutdown, serving as Cruz’ dutiful minuteman in the House.

Which translates into, “back the truck up,” I guess.

“and left under a cloud”

He left under a fictitious cloud that was generated by demonrat lies.

Are we going to let the demonrats take our men out of the fight just by lying about them until they appear to be “under a cloud?”

How about Alan West? Or Mark Levin?

Alan West maybe, but Mark Levin is way too important educating America to be bothered with such a menial job like SOH.

He’s sobered up since. In today’s media age one picture goes a jillion miles spreading scandal everywhere it is seen.

How about a guy with some great experience in the job? Gingrich!!

Give me a break. Gingrich was the original RINO. His compromises with Clinton set up the so called RINO conservatives for failure.

It wasn’t many years ago and the fact that he was too clueless to realize that such a video will haunt him forever means he’s too out of touch for the job.

Where is Chris Bell today (the racist Democrat who lost his seat to a BLACK Democrat through Texas redistricting so he lashed out at Tom DeLay on his lameduck way out the door)...

But Pelosi said that there was a vast right wing culture of corruption that rose to the top ranks of the party. It’s why “moderates” put Pelosi and Reid in power in 2006, tanked the economy, and gave us Obamacare...

Most Ethical Congress Ever by a$$.
