The spoils of DeLay's criminal conspiracy

[Oilwellian]

Texas sent seven new representatives to Congress this session:

Louie Gohmert (R-1st)
Ted Poe (R-2nd)
Al Green (D-9th)
Michael McCaul (R-10th)
Mike Conaway (R-11th)
Kenny Marchant (R-24th)
Henry Cuellar (D-28th)

Of them, all five Republicans joined the delegation thanks to the DeLay fundraising/redistricting conspiracy.

1. And Cuellar (D) unseated a liberal Dem in the primaries, endorsed Bush

in 2000, and was Rick Perry's Secretary of State in 2001. It's widely believed he cheated, much like Landslide Lyndon Johnson, to win the primary in 2004.

"Cuellar emerged victorious in the primary after 419 additional ballots were discovered in two of his stronghold counties, erasing Rodriguez's 145-vote win — but only after two recounts, four court decisions and five months of controversy. He easily beat a Republican and a Libertarian in November.

In Washington, Democrats say they will monitor Cuellar's votes before deciding how warmly to embrace a man who calls himself pro-gun, pro-free trade, anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage."
