DeLay Lashes Out at Democratic Party
!


By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay accused leading Democrats on Wednesday of longing for the "weak and indecisive foreign policy of their Cold War past," and said votes on President Bush (news - web sites)'s call for $87 billion for Iraq (news - web sites) would mark a defining moment in the war on terror.



"The Democrat leaders must finally decide: Are they going to be the party of Franklin Roosevelt's moral clarity, or the party of Ted Kennedy's extremist appeasement," the Texas Republican said in a speech at the Heritage Foundation.

delay bugman got his panties in a wad.....their are running "scared"

[LynneSin]

1. Can I choose both of the above

I mean FDR or Ted Kennedy - damn I love em both!!!

[9215]

61. Let me see ........Delay is now saying that

Mr. New Deal FDR, the founder of "Socialist Security" had moral clarity???????

Jeez, what a dumb thing to say if you are trying to make dems look bad. FDR is like the father of the modern dem era.

What Delay fails to realize is that Kennedy and FDR have at least one thing in common: they can smell a fascist a mile away.

[calimary]

64. Okay, guys, HERE'S WHAT TO DO:

Tom "666" DeLay's numbers:

in Washington (202) 225 - 5951

In Stafford, Texas (281) 240 - 3700

Call him in the morning and tell him how much you appreciate this? Or, call your own congressperson, like I did recently about that jerk Darrell Issa, and ask them to go over to DeLay's office and present him with a nice rock. And then tell him that's what most of America would like him to crawl back under.

[Emboldened Chimp]

2. Extremist appeasement?

Come on, Bugman.

This guy is the walking definition of hyperbole.

[Old and In the Way]

14. Hey manco.....

gotta comment on your excellent choice of avatars....I miss that guy..

[Emboldened Chimp]

25. Yeah, I miss him too

I put in my request for this avatar just last night, and Skinner got right on it. Props to him!

[Sophree]

30. I was going to say!

Wait a minute, there's a Jerry Garcia avatar now?!?

Love it.

[AndyTiedye]

41. Thanks For Getting Them to Add That One

still miss him a lot too.

[Guaranteed]

69. Yeah it sounds like an oxymoron n/t

[kwolf68]

3. Ole Tommy boy

Of ALLLLLLL the people to be giving lectures. Tom DeLay is one of the most hateful, vindictive, arrogant, STUPID, ideological pricks in the house.

Whatever he says...The opposite should be done.

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Yes, he is.

I'm amazed at the type of people that continue to vote that scum in office.

[kwolf68]

12. People who like him

Hey...this is a big country. And somewherez about it there are plenty of dimbulbs and assorted dunderheads who think tom delay is tapped into some new mode of (choking, snort) intellectualism and morality.

He is a horrible man.

[Skittles]

55. MAN

that is a truly sexy picture of our last elected president.

[Catherine Vincent]

57. Why do you think I picked it for every post that I make?

That way I can look at it everytime I post! Yummy! :9

[0007]

28. I'll drink to that!

btt

[shance]

33. Isnt it funny when he actually tries to act like hes a statesman

I am laughing!!

The guy is a two-bit slimy crook that doesnt have a moral in his body.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

65. I think he's inhaled too much of the insecticide he used to work with.

:smoke: :crazy: :silly:

[saigon68]

51. He's all of that and even more so

He's a Punk

[sasquatch]

4. Fuck Him

How dare he use the name of FDR in anything. That bastard dirty's his name every time he say's it.

[Sophree]

13. If FDR was alive today

Tom DeLay would sneer and denounce him as a socialist and a traitor.

His rantings get more comical by the day. :D

[trapper914]

31. FDR Bashing

Have the right wingers run out of ways to blame Clinton? My right wing co-worker was proudly showing me a copy of a new book he got in the mail...this one blames FDR for lengthening the Depression. Sheesh!

[Skittles]

54. I AGREE WITH SASQUATCH

AND I COULDN'T SAY IT ANY BETTER.

[RedSox02]

5. And Tom Delay would support a Clinton War?

Yeah ok. Delay was probably the first to accuse Clinton of waggign the dog when he fired missiles at the Taliban and Iraq.

[Wwagsthedog]

Who really wagged the dog?

n/t

[Pompitous_Of_Love]

23. The cat

n/t

[arcane1]

6. at the Heritage Foundation, of course

do these loons ever speak to actual audiences?

rhetorical question :-)

[RobertSeattle]

19. My thoughts exactly

He could of read recipes out of a cook book and they would have given him a standing ovation.

[bluestateguy]

7. I'll make him a deal

And I think this is a big concession on my part:

If the Congress appropriates 87 billion to provide health care for those left behind in our sickening system of private insurance, and if the tax cuts for the wealthy are repealed, then I am prepared to consider giving * his war money.

[SlutBunwalla]

9. HAHAHA...somebody needs to remind him...

....REPEATEDLY in the future that he believes FDR had great moral clarity.

HAHAHAHA....he trots out one of the right's most despised names and suddenly it's a good thing?

Tom, Tom, Tom....make up your mind.

And somebody bitchslap the little fucker for his bad grammar. That's "democrat-IC" leaders, buddy boy.

[Parche]

10. tom exterminator delay

Not only does tom delay bug me, but he is a moron
Why do they call giving $87 billion of our hard earned tax dollars
helping in their war on terra

It was an illegal invasion tom

[bif]

11. $87 billion would be a defining mark

In the destruction of our economy. What a fuckhead!

[leetrisck]

15. Has there ever been a time when Delay

didn't lash out at the Democratic party. What's his problem? The Repukes control the whole country - House, Senate, Supreme Court. About time some Democrats spoke out - just hope it isn't too late.

[meow2u3]

62. When the Repukes were in the minority

When Repukes grabbed control of the House, that's when Bugboy McRoach started bullying Democrats. In other words, he's just a coward putting on a macho act to give the impression he's a leader (read: bully).

[el_gato]

16. Send his ass to Iraq!

[_NorCal_D_]

18. I agree!

Let him fight Bush's war, if he wants to be a chest-thumping SOB.

[_NorCal_D_]

17. Delay

is the ultimate demagogue, full of bluster and rhetoric.

21. Bug Boy needs to bone up on his American history

If you want a text-book example of appeasing evil, look no further than the Republican Party of the late 1930s/early 1940s. In what has to be one of the most morally obtuse, brain-dead political impulses ever, they sucked up to the Nazis shamelessly.

And it was the Democrats' dedication to winning the Cold War that ultimately nearly destroyed the party in the 1960s. The Rethugs spent most of that period cheering on a drunk psychopath and his Red-baiting Congressional hearings.

Fuck you, Bug Boy. Chickenhawk piece of shit. You're not fit to replenish Sen. Kennedy's martini glass.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

24. BINGO!!!

How about this: "Republicans are the Hitler Appeaser party!!!"

[Pompitous_Of_Love]

26. Well, you have to admit...

They do love a man in uniform.

[BiggJawn]

38. 1930's ReTHUGs liked Hitler so much that they....

...Had Prescott Bush do his banking.

[rman]

22. so Delay would rather have just nuked the russians

perhaps to show off his virility, while fantasizing he could survive that whole mutual anihilation thing.

[Richardo]

36. Studies HAVE shown that the cockroaches would survive a nuclear blast

...so he's in the clear.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

27. Hey, DeLay. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

<snip>
"If so, isn't it smarter to fight the war on terror in the streets of Baghdad than the streets of Brooklyn?"
<snip>
News flash, jerk-off. The "scare the public" thing is wearing pretty thin and it's booring the shit out of me. Go back to Texas and father a longhorn.


(Sorry. I'm really getting tired of the rhetoric spewing from this jerk.)

[NormanConquest]

29. As opposed to the strong, decisive Cold War policy of Reagan

that sold Hussein chem & bio agents, and tacitly approved of Hussein's attacks on the Kurds?

[Richardo]

37. ...equipped the progenitors of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda to fight

the Soviets. THAT's what knee-jerk conservatism will get you.

WTG Ronnie...

[fishnfla]

32. Getting desparate now aint they?

The american public didnt fall for the $87 billion ruse. Defining moment in the war on terrorism my ass! "Are we at war or not?" How would you know chickenhawk?

Memo to Tom: every time you say "war" people think "General"

[onehandle]

34. Hey Tom!

Boo!

[NicFed]

35. Top Goon

DeLay and Hastert; the two Top Goons in the crime party.

Goon: noun: thug: a professional gangster whose work is beating up or terrorizing people. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/DictionaryResults.aspx?refid=1861614686

[calimary]

63. Welcome to DU, NicFed!

Top Goons, indeed!

[peterh]

39. Damn….There was a time…

That I didn’t believe it possible that the south could produce anyone that could top the likes of Dan Burton, Dick Armey, Trent Lott and Jessie Helms…..But Damn…I don’t think there is a bottom in the southern gene pool.

Please excuse my southern bashing, but DAMN……

[Richardo]

40. WTG Mulhall!

"Tom DeLay's petulance goes up in direct proportion to the president's polling numbers falling." :toast:

Also like the line about "frothy". :thumbsup:

[gulliver]

42. More praise for "moral clarity" from its chief opponents.

Bush used "moral clarity" in his U.N. speech too. I'm sensing a theme here. DeLay, if anything shows "immoral clarity." Bush wouldn't know clarity (of any kind) if it bit him in the butt.

[xchrom]

43. send all conservatives to

afghanistan.
delay is a moron and a lier. and he nver met a moral he wouldn't go around.

45. Delay is power hungry and is a fool

The More they attack & Deny the more obvious there is something wrong

:bounce:

[snippy]

47. Attacking people for criticizing Whistle Ass is now a mistake.

It worked great during the 2002 campaigns and after the invasion of Iraq began, but it will backfire now since many people other than democrats are criticizing or questioning Whistle Ass. Those people won't like being attacked by Weevil Ass.

[karlschneider]

48. Delay is an ass with too many holes.

:grr:

[Gman]

49. Just once I'd like to see the Democratic spokesperson quoted ...

as saying, "Is Delay off his medication again?"

[mcaverly]

50. Delay is right...

It will be a defining moment, because it will be the moment the Americans wake up and smell the Whistle-ass!!!

[section321]

52. Weak and Indecisive Cold War Foreign Policy?

I suppose we should have just bombed the shit of those commie pinko soviet bastards?

This guy is nuts. I mean, I already knew that, but now he's playing revisionist history?

The cold war unfolded the way it did because we were both holding a loaded gun to the other's temple. 20,000 nuclear weapons is 20,000 nuclear weapons. You tip-toe thru a mine field. You don't charge.

What a nut job!

[Democat]

56. This is news?

When has that right wing fanatic not lashed out a the Democratic Party?

[janx]

58. The Bug Man

lashes out on a daily basis. He is the prince of the timely and partisan news release.

He's made Dean some money, though--so let him carry on!

[Democat]

71. If it's helping Dean (or Democrat) raise money, more power to Delay

It's hard to believe there are still people like DeLay in the U.S. government.

[haymaker]

59. Talk about a small penis,

this guy needs therapy.

[WhereIsMyFreedom]

60. Uh, no?

Our critics can try to change the subject, but the debate will come down to one question: Are we at war or not? One choice, one vote.

Hmm, didn't Bu$h already declare the war to be over in Iraq? And don't tell me he meant the war on terror because that $87 billion has nothing to do with it.

[Dr Fate]

66. 87 BILLION Mr. DeLay? Have Bush ask the "Coalition of the Willing" for it

I happen to be BROKE right now thanks to YOU and the lies of Bush/media...

[kodi]

67. hey bugman, the gop has to decide if it's the party of lincoln or hoover

taking any bets?

[goforit]

68. Another "YES-MAN" for the thugs???????

Anybody got any good old Texas Tar and Feathers?????

[regnaD kciN]

70. Delay attacks Democrats. How can this...

..ever qualify as "latest breaking news"...?

:eyes:

[David__77]

72. Welcome Delay as GOP spokesman!

I want this guy in the spotlight as much as possible! Goodbye, "compassionate" fuzziness! He might as well be the house speaker--he's the current Gingrich. He could be useful in ads against the likes of Nancy Johnson or other moderates. "How can they support someone so extremist"?
