Tom Delay is out

[dontbounce 0]

I guess when your whole staff pleads gulity to felonies and agrees to cooperate with the prosecutors, the whole "I'm innocent, I swear" argument falls apart...

My mom told me that it is rude to say "I told you so", so I won't. I do recall a long, heated argument with some republican "dead-enders" in this forum about Tom Delay and the rest of his crimminal buddies...

I knew it was going to be a good day when it heard the news, then I got 3 job offers for (80k, 80k, 65k) the same day.

Man, its been a good week.

Can you say "Republican Bloodbath"?

And he's on his way to prison too, depending on whether he goes to trial or cops a plea.

I hear he's even registered at Wal Mart for his upcoming prison wedding to Bubba.

He's resigned, and will possibly be convicted. Possibly not. Given the fact that the prosecutor had to shop for a grand jury, I find his impending conviction questionable at best. I think his departure a good thing for the Republican party overall. I don't recall ever seeing anything about his entire staff pleading guilty to anything - perhaps you have a link of sorts.

The House of Representatives hasn't made a good showing of itself as of late. Look at Cynthia McKinney, who is not going to resign. I don't find her conviction questionable if charges are indeed brought against her.

Could be a great month for weeding out House members. I wonder who is next? Abramoff's trial will most assuredly catch a few more people before its completion.

Short trial, I didn't know he got convicted?

Dam, I forgot again, it is the charge that is important to the libs, not the facts

Isn't it the seriousness of the charge, not the nature of the evidence?

I get soooo......... confused sometimes.

Ahhh well...I guess Ann Coulter had it right...the reason Democrats get so outraged when Republicans fail to live up to their own standards is that the Democrats themselves HAVE no standards. Therefore it's no big deal when one of them does something criminal.

Nope, not all. Tom Rudy pled guilty to conspiring with Abramoff, and Michael Scanlon pled guilty to conspiring to bribe public officials. Ed Buckham is next; he was named as "Lobbyist B" in the Abramoff court documents.

Not the entire staff. Ahhh. I don't even know how many people are on his staff, truth be told.

we are down to semantics, a true sign that the real argument has already been lost.

That's actually not too far off, in my experience. Democrats, in general, tend to tolerate 'less moral' behavior both in themselves and in others. Hence their greater acceptance of things like gay marriage, and their lesser outrage at people who break the law. Republicans espouse high moral standards, both personally and in others. Hence their greater desire to regulate personal activity, and their support of the more restrictive religions.

However, both in actuality live up to the same (low) moral standards.
