In past posts, you have spoken highly of both. What is one to believe?

They are people whom the left has chosen to attack. The left is attacking Tom DeLay for the same things that they are guilty of. Their DemoLib FMSM allies have picked up the ball and are ignoring Democrats with much worse problems than Tom DeLay. How many FMSM stories have run about the ethics committee's failure to act against Jim McDermott?

Tom DeLay's biggest problem is that he is effective.


Yes, he's effective.......at playing dirty.

Democrats have marked him for the same Democrat whining / Media whipping they unfairly assaulted Newt Ginrich with.

Unfairly? The guy's a pig. Not only did he behave criminally, he left is wife when she was sick so he could be with another woman.

Either you are not very well informed about your heroes, or you are not as honorable as you profess.

I have watched her be over-the-top-rude from the get go even when everyone else is trying to be cordial.

Your definition of cordial must be different than mine. I consider interrupting repeatedly to be rude. Of course, you probably saw her in a hostile venue, and that might be different than a neutral one.


The venue was not hostile. The host was a conservative on a conservative show [he's on MSNBC.....its called [blank] country]. The liberal guesting on the show was cordial from the get go. She came out of the gate pigging. And that's not the first time I've seen her behave in that fashion. The only times I've seen her pleasant is when she was outmatched by her opponents.

"If Harry Reid is arranging bribes to be paid to his son, it is wrong. If Jim McDeromott is illegally releasing tapes to the media, it is wrong (and the courts convictd him of it). If Bill Clinton is raping women, attempting to rape other women, lying under oath, and everything else he did, it is wrong. If Bob Packwood is doing the same kind of stuff as Clinton (except lying under oath) it is wrong."

There is GOP wrong and the rest of the world's wrong. Don't confuse the former with reality.

I don't confuse them. When I see you criticize people equally regardless of party, then you will gain credibility. IMHO your comments sometimes sound like you confuse Democrat/FMSM spin with reality.


I know exactly whom I am criticizing and I know exactly whom is a threat to the ideals of this country. Mr. Reid is much lesser threat to those ideals than Mr. Delay.

"If any of those people are found quilty as charged, then I am all for it. However, in the 5 years since I've watched the political scene more closely, it seems the GOP is the party with the most perpetrators of criminal activity.

Clinton was convicted."

He was convicted of nothing. He was impeached and his law license pulled.

If everyone lied under oath like Clinton did, there would be no justice. Civilization would collapse when the court system could not convict anyone. Truth in testimony is the cornerstone of our society. It is so serious that courts require the testifier to swear an oath to God. When you remove the cornerstone, the building collapses


Get serious! What did he lie about? Passing state secrets? Breaking into GOP headquarters? Slandering his GOP opponents? Stealing treasury funds? No. He lied about having sex outside his marriage. Again, I say to you.......get real!

Clinton was more than a sicko, he was the cause of the Democrat party be identified as the immoral party they are.

In my eyes, Clinton is a hero and will go down in American history as a great president, assuming we continue to have a free society in the future.

"Tom DeLay has not been convicted yet you ave attacked him as if he were guilty."

I attack Tom Delay not because of his illegal activities [although they suck] but because of his arrogance and misuse of power.

Yet you do not attack Democrats who are worse. Nine of the top ten trip recipients are Democrats.


If you continue to ignore what I post, then do not expect me to post with you. The trip recipient crap is bad enough but for me, its the tip of an ugly iceberg. I have said it before to you and I will say it one more time........what offends me about Delay is his abuse of power.

Some examples.....like the way he behaved when he went to Israel last year and told the Israelis they can have whatever they want from the US or like when he instructed the TX GOP to institute 2-3 reapportionments in TX since the 2000 Census, making the whole issue of the census a joke or when he sent out federal Homeland personnel and equipment to track down TX state legislators.

You can keep ignoring these facts but they are symptomatic of a man who is out of control and a megalomaniac.
