good one ms democrat
others may choose to live in their denial.
Pax is one of the only sober minded left leaners who have a sense of fair play.
others choose to froth at the mouth, like pavlov dogs not realizing their error.

wow! sanctimonious, patronizing, and deluded -- and all in one post!
look, many of us despise DeLay for more than partisan reasons. me, i deplore his ruthless partisanship, his fusion of conservatism with corporate cronyism, his grotesque gerrymandering, his homophobia, his view of ethics as things to get around rather than enforce, and on and on.
no one, not even Mr. DeLay's strongest allies, think he's anything other than an ultra-partisan enforcer and is a main purveyor of nasty, personal politics that poisons both parties washignton. he's also given to gross hyperbole, and seems to think the federal government exists to function like superman to swoop into a personal family tragedy and prolong the "life" of an all-but-completely-dead woman in Flordia.
let's revisit those days:
I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, one thing God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo to elevate the visibility of what's going on in America. . . .This is exactly the kind of issue that's going on in America, that attacks against the conservative moment, against me and against many others. The point is, the other side has figured out how to win and to defeat the conservative movement, and that is to go after people personally, charge them with frivolous charges, link up with all these do-gooder organizations funded by George Soros, and then get the national media on their side. That whole syndicate that they have going on right now is for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to destroy the conservative movement. It is to destroy conservative leaders, and not just in elected office, but leading. I mean, Ed Feulner, of the Heritage Foundation today was under attack in the National Journal. This is a huge nationwide concerted effort to destroy everything we believe in. And you need to look at this, and what's going on and participate in fighting back.
"weak" and "baseless," anyone?
i think NBC is right that this is a "conspiracy" charge, and if you read the WaPo editorial yesterday, it might be very difficult to find him guilty on a criminal charge.
however, there is clearly a MASSIVE corruption problem coming from the Republicans in Washington. this, combined with their pandering big-spending policies (exposing them as conservative frauds), and with each day finding another ethical problem with the GOP leadership, the Dems just might come-back in 2006.
yet, if anyone can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, it's all those democrats who's last names aren't "Clinton."
