AUSTIN – A company indicted in a Texas campaign fundraising case
says it was told that by giving a Tom DeLay political committee
$25,000, company officials would get access to the U.S. House
majority leader to influence legislation.

In court documents, Westar Energy of Kansas says that to meet with
Mr. DeLay in 2002, company officials "were told they needed to write
a check for $25,000" to Texans for a Republican Majority, known as
TRMPAC.

It's the first time a company has said it donated to the Texas
committee created by Mr. DeLay in exchange for a meeting and
legislative help.

An aide to Mr. DeLay denied that he was swayed by the donation.

"Anyone who has worked with Majority Leader DeLay knows that his
legislative efforts are based on sound public policy alone,"
spokeswoman Shannon Flaherty said.

Westar attorney Martha Dickie declared in April in an Austin court
that company officials hoped to win Mr. DeLay's help on pending
energy legislation, according to transcripts in a lawsuit
challenging the use of corporate money in Texas elections. >

2. Disgusting.

What really disgusts me the most is that this joker does all his dirty deeds under the guise of conservative Christianity. What a joke. But I suppose that's the way the 'ol Texas boys - Rove, Cheney, & Bush included - learned how to play the game. :mad:

3. Of course

It's all a disguise. They aren't really Christians. Anybody who believes that is brainwashed and doesn't even listen to all of the Bible (in Proverbs Solomon tells us/warns us to not just blindly follow someone but to check things out yourself).

5. Yep

You got that right, Freedomangel.

4. "... his legislative efforts are based on sound public policy alone"

Yeah, right. That's why they call The Hammer. :eyes:

6. For all of heavens sake, how much more does heaven need?

Earth to heaven, could you please have a conversation with Mr. DeLay?

Just about ethics and what they might mean, that's all. Thanks.

Just a concerned, transplanted Texan. (Delay is an embarrassment to us all, we're so sorry.) Forgive us please.
