Tom Delay

[Gunslinger]

OK I started looking into this and I have to say with an un-biased look to say he seems like he's getting hosed by a political hack.

1 endictment after a 3 year investigation on a conspiracy charge?

I hpoe he get's a fair shake at it.  I know an indictment isn't a measure of guilt.  The defendent in most grand jury indicments arent even allowed to make a case.

Anyone else got some input/history on this.

This just proves that the democrats are incapable of conducting a proper witch hunt.

Both parties are responsible for how rediculous the attacks and blame game has gotten.  It's gotten to the point where you can't tell the difference between a coupla congressmen and a coupla 6 year olds arguing.

I dunno, compared to the cost and time spent by Ken Starr to ferret out a BJ this looks downright frugal.

Ah yes the old "It was all over a BJ" crap.

It's almost as old and untrue as the "Well at least he didn't go AWOL" BS.

I keep thinking one of these days one of you guys will come up with something new.



Sorry!

Just the thought of one of you coming up with an original idea made me laugh.

[midnight Target]

hehe.. LOL... The old "it was all over a BJ crap" crap. You'd think there would be a new mantra from you guys.

[Mighty1]

Stop it your killing me!



Even your rebuttal was "It was all over a BJ".

 

[midnight Target]

Wait... so was your rebuttal to my rebuttal!!

This is starting to remind me of an Escher drawing.

[john9001]

now if delay had taken money from the chinese govt it would be ok. neo-cons are so dumb.

[Flatbar]

This about sums up my take on this.


"Being called vindictive and partisan by Tom DeLay is like being called ugly by a frog."

- Prosecutor Ronnie Earle

Here's some proof of is "partisanship".

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2004_11/005190.php


"• Former state Rep. Gilbert Serna, D-El Paso. Pleaded guilty to charges of theft by a public servant in 2000.

• Former state Rep. Lane Denton, D-Waco. Found guilty of theft in 1995.

• State Rep. Betty Denton, D-Waco, pleaded guilty in 1995 to perjury charges.

• Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican, indicted on a charge of official misconduct. Earle in 1994 declined to present a case at trial. Hutchison received a directed verdict of acquittal.

• Land Commissioner Garry Mauro, Democrat, investigated in 1992 for political misuse of his agency for Bill Clinton's presidential campaign. Earle found no "conscious pattern of misuse of state property for political or personal purposes."

• Speaker Gib Lewis, D-Fort Worth. Pleaded guilty in 1992 of misdemeanor filing of false financial statements. Lewis in 1983 also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor failure to file a financial statement.

• San Antonio voter registrar Marco Gomez, Democrat, pleaded guilty in 1992 to tampering with a government record.

• State Rep. Charles Staniswallis, R-Amarillo, pleaded guilty to felony theft in 1990.

• Attorney General Jim Mattox, Democrat, found innocent by a jury in 1983 on charges of commercial bribery.

If you were from texas you would realize that up until a few years back it was Lib dem vs con dem and Ronnie earl did his best to ruin con dems.  But on the plus side he has lost more big ones than he has won.

[BluKitty]

All I can say is finally .... This guy is SOOOOO dirty....


I've been reading about his dirty deeds for years, maybe you should look at the REAL liberal media from time to time

"...Tom DeLay illegally funneling corporate money to Texas politicians."(2004)

Or maybe you think corporations are supposed to be able to 'buy' politicians like they do?

Being accused is not being guilty.

Your quote is pointless until proven.

My bet is Ronnie loses another one.
