Repuke Tom Delay needs our HELP
Mr.Chimp says he is not going to raise taxes to pay for is plan to rebuild NO. So how is he going to pay for it?

House Speaker Tom DeLay contended that Republicans have already reined in expenses and he challenged legislators to show him the fat.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/09/18/katrina.cost/index.html

So I am asking for help from you DUers to put forth a list of ways to Help Mr.Delay since he has no clue.

1. Get out of Iraq

2. Get rid of all the pork in the Highway bill

any others?

3. DeLay is House Majority Leader...
Not Speaker of the House. Dennis Hastert is Speaker of the House.

7. End tax cuts for top levels of income.
Also, dividend tax and capital gains tax. And move tax on extremely weathy (say over 2 million income) back towards 89% (where it was before Reagan) instead of current 38% (36%?). And restore estate tax above several million (say).

Also, cut out star-wars spending, nuclear weapons research and about 20 other high-tech but unnecessary and/or dangerous military projects.

8. All good suggestions. Bring it, Tom.
A good, principled DA will bring him down. I hope. I doubt.

9. Stop funnelling tax breaks to oil companies
Already enjoying record profit quarters? It might even save the bridge to nowhere Tom, and leave around enough change for a real fancy hottub.

13. I got a better idea....
Lets kick Tom Delay out of his seat, and throw his corrupt ass in jail.

Contact District Prosecutor John Healey Jr. to look into Tom Delay's felonies

16. Hey, remember the sicophants got Sandy Berger....
Edited on Sun Sep-18-05 05:56 PM by TheStates
He's sitting and going to rot. I think that Berger deserves his reward.

Now its our turn.....To take out Delay and fat-ass Rove in one sweep.

Its time for the end of the culture of corruption....I think this should be enough beginning evidence;

http://www.perrspectives.com/resources/documents.htm#tomdelay

Edit: Don't forget Abramoff was convicted and is so close to Delay they are brothers!

Hot Tub Tom should be sitting his ass in jail. Its time we all, we PROGRESSIVES hounded the Diebold/Delay problem until its dead. We need to take things like Hackett or Ryan does for now on!

17. If the fat is gone and we can't afford it
Edited on Sun Sep-18-05 06:01 PM by nadinbrzezinski
then Tom the answer is self evident... at least at my household it means getting another source of income... in the case of the Feds this means ... seat down Tommy, take your medicine... HIGHER TAXES and SHARED SACRIFICES... wow you are getting this? My, my I don't think you have shed your spots tommy, but at least you may actually have hope... or is this a trick on your part?

23. Suggestions for how Mr. Delay can help Katrina Victims
Edited on Sun Sep-18-05 08:52 PM by maine_raptor
Three steps:

1) Take out large insurance policy with beneficiary for Clinton-Bush relief effort.

2) Set up Pay-per-view event with all major networks, proceeds to go to above organization.

3) Wear best suit, fill pockets with as many lead weights as will fit, jump off pier, thus helping relief effort and GETTING OUT OF AMERICA'S LIFE ONCE AND FOR ALL.


As Wilford Brimley would say, "It's the right thing to do."
