Democrat's "Delaying" Tactics Will Backfire
The Democrats are celebrating Dennis Hastert's decision to revise House Ethics Committee's rules back to their pre-existing wording as a victory.
Not so fast guy's. You are aware, aren't you, that Tom Delay has been asking for an investigation to go forward. It has been the Democrats that have been dragging their feet, complaining about process and enjoying the questionable practice of character assassination while refusing to begin an investigation. It would be curious behavior for the Democrats to refuse to seat the Ethics committee since they are so vehement in their accusations of Majority Leader Delay, if I didn't know their motives. The Democrats aren't interested in the truth. Never have been, and never will be. Investigating Tom Delay has never been their aim, only damaging him by using smear tactics.
The truth is that Democrats are only interested in destruction. On all fronts, they offer no positive solutions, only negative accusations. We have all seen it. They practice character assassination as naturally as they breathe. It has become their only answer to any of the issues facing America. Social security is going broke, Democrat's answer; President Bush is "trying to destroy the system." Saddam Hussein is in bed with al Queda, Democrat's answer; President Bush "lied to us and got us into an illegal war." John Bolton is nominated to be the American U.N. Ambassador, Democrat's answer; "he's a big meany, and doesn't like (incompetent) uppity subordinates. Tom Delay is the most successful House leader in recent history (since Newt Gingrich), Democrat's answer; "he's a crook, unethical, and also a big meany."
Today's Dumbocrat's bread and butter, is unfounded or unsubstantiated allegation. Their technique, throw out a hundred such emotionally charged baseless accusations, and hope one or two of them turn out to be true. They do it with judges, with cabinet appointees, well...pretty much with anything Republican.
Now as anybody who has followed my writings knows, I am no fan of hypocrisy, from the left or from the right. You also know that because of the inherent extreme Left-wing bias in the MSM, I believe that Republicans need to "do it better." They must, because actions that have even the appearance of questionable ethical behavior, will be scrutinized to the nth degree by the press, and if they possibly can be misconstrued as improper, they will be so described by them in large type, as headlines on the front page or as the "teaser" at the opening broadcast. But I also believe that all members of Congress should have to adhere to the same standards. Am I happy about Leader Delay's activities? No. Am I comfortable with his behavior? No. But neither do I accept the behavior of the Democrat hypocrites
But this time the full court press will backfire. Because Speaker Dennis Hastert has approved the rule change, the Dims will have to put up or shut up. At the same time, they themselves will be open to investigation. They are in a mad scramble, even now, to retroactively, put their houses in order. Whoops , did you catch that? Retroactively? Nice try guys, but it won't work. The fact that you are only now paying the piper, won't protect you from the public's scrutiny of your dancing. Your hypocrisy will be evident to all, even as you rationalize it to your ethically challenged, brainwashed, Liberal constituencies.
What exactly is it that I am talking about? Glad you asked. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was fined $21,000 for collecting and distributing funds in excess of campaign-finance limits through two leadership political-action committees: PAC to the Future and Team Majority. Ms. Pelosi wants an investigation of DeLay because he accepted a paid trip from the Korea-United States Exchange Council in 2001. But wait! One of Nancy Pelosi's staff took a comparable trip with KORUSEC in 2003. Whoops! And guess what, Pelosi's office failed to file the required financial documentation for the trip. Double Whoops! Leader Delay did file all of his required paperwork. Once this was made public, Pelosi's people scrambled to retroactively (there's that word again) file said papers.
So, what else? How about this, APR (American Public Radio) sprang for "Power Trips" for congressional members. Who took these trips? Well, nine of the top ten offenders...err "Trippers" and all of the top five were...Democrats. Oh yeah, and let's not forget Jim McDermott he has an investigation pending as well. Now who is it that is ethically challenged?
As for Tom Delay, well I'm not sure that I would want him as my next-door neighbor, but I'm not interested in having a "nice guy" in congress, we have enough of those in people like Jim Leach and Chris Shays, I want a guy that will fight for what is right. What does Tom Delay say about the ethics charges? His response is, "I will be asking (the committee) to look at these issues, as it not only pertains to me but to the entire House, because obviously, there are questions that need to be answered by the ethics committee. What trips can be taken? How can they be taken?"
Watch out! You Democrats started this hateful process, but it may finish you.
