Ah yes, I forgot about that. But I believe his fed. sentence will be concurrent with his FL one. Either way, that's pretty much overwith.

You better wake up dude, you'll be late for work.

The prosecuters have already told DeLay he is not a target. But we'll wait and see Rodeo:)

Lendaddy, don't let facts get in the way of Rodeo's mental masturbation. Stuff like DeLay's woes are the best Dems can hope for, since they don't win on the issues.

Corruption is an "issue"

No, apparently "alleged" corruption is an issue:)

Sometimes people are simply guilty and the word "alleged" will be used as an out for those who still believe there has been a mistake. In this case, had the individual belonged to the "other side" the posters defending Lay would AUTOMATICALLY claim he or she was guilty, no "alleged" about it.

It all depends on whose ox is getting gored. It is partisanship. It is a fact of life. Politics, like religion, is based on emotion, not logic. Posted facts generally are not, they are someone's opinions, taken as truth.

This situation will shake itself out and there will be a decision. Whatever it is, not one word we type here will change the outcome.

Can ANYONE say with certainty that there are not others in Congress that are also playing fast and loose with the law? Can ANYONE show that these are necessarily in one party or the other? Can they all be ignorant of what their staff is doing in their behalf or under their umbrella?

Delay just resigned, so its a moot point from here on out...

Racism is a bigger issue, especially intentionally fomenting it, exploiting divisiveness for political gain...ripping the country apart and dividing Americans around racial lines.

Given the Democrat party regularly surpass the allegations about Delay, in true campaign finance crimes, your argument about Delay and "corruption" is hollow.

There are 2 major differences between Delay's crimes and a myriad of Democrat crimes:

1. Delay's crimes, if true, were less than Democrat crimes.
2. The reason Delay gets the magnifying glass is because the Democrats rule the media.

If the Dems as corrupt as you say they are, and with your party controlling all 3 branches of government, it seems all they'd have to do is pick up the phone and someone would land in jail. With that in mind, why is it that the high-ranking Republicans are getting nailed?

Because the party that controls the Congress and WH does not dictate who gets indicted under state law in TX.

What about the Clinton's?...We are talking campaign finance violations that were treasonous.

Aw, hell, I'll save you the typing: CHAPPAQUIDDICK!

what about, what about, what about, sniffle, sniffle, what about...mahaaaaahhhmmmmmmmm, the democrats are making fun of me again and my side is, sniffle, sniffle, sniffle, gasp, sniffle, they're bad but I can't admit it an the, an the other side is bad too, but we're in power...

What party in texas does?

No party does.

I thought you worked in legal? The prosecutor is at their own discretion, guess what party he's from?

Now DeLay has decided to take a baseball bat to the prosecutor's knees, rather than, god forbid, win the case at trial. What a slimeball.

From Fox News Radio’s Tony Snow Show:

SNOW: Okay, so at this point, you know — are you willing to let bygones be bygones?

DELAY: Absolutely not. Texas should not allow a district attorney from Travis County have this kind of power. And they can take his power away from him because there was the Texas legislature that gave him this power. And I think that will happen in the next session of the Texas legislature.

SNOW: Oh, really?

DELAY: Yes.

He was confident that the judge would dismiss the charges. Nope. Now instead of doing what everybody else does, prove you are right at trial, he is trying to make an end run around the case.

Like I said, sleaze.

Be careful what you wish for:)

Oh, but not to worry, you know about some secret charges that Delay will face later remember? Buck up lil camper.:)

Rodeo, surely you know some other Ronnie Earle's other capers. The guy has more baggage than an airplane. DeLay is spot on here and he ain't the only one Earle has gone after just for the political mileage.
