1. This thread probably needs to be combined with an earlier

one.

Regardless, Tom Delay is totally dirty and if he's the majority leader, you can predict what those under him are like.

4. Zatz ok..

I didn't see it posted earlier, but it can certainly be merged away! :)

'Course if it was me.. I'd rather read a "GOP Worries" post two or more times, than to read about how Dean may have inadvertantly insulted Rethugs in 300 different posts.. :crazy:

6. Ain't that a fact!

I'd love seeing more "GOP has a nervous breakdown" posts than negative posts about our Democratic leaders even if they do make mistakes sometimes.

May the Republican Party suffer as those upon . . . whom the Republicans have shoved their vitriol. And may it come back upon them three-fold.

5. Time to take down DeLay and the rest of the cabal

Democrats are using allegations about influence peddling to recruit opponents for several of the chamber's most senior Republicans. DeLay, who just a few years ago seemed invulnerable, now is certain to face a heavily funded Democratic challenge. Former four-term representative Nick Lampson, who lost in November after a redistricting engineered by DeLay, has filed as a candidate in DeLay's suburban Houston district.

House Resources Committee Chairman Richard W. Pombo (R-Calif.), a rancher who granted leave to his committee staff of about 40 for the 15 days before the November election and has been questioned about his use of taxpayer funds on fliers favorable to President Bush, was the target of radio ads by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee over Memorial Day and could face a challenge from Democratic state Sen. Michael Machado.

Another Republican in the Democrats' sights is Rep. Tom Feeney (Fla.), who as a state official was an aggressive advocate for Bush during the presidential election recount fight of 2000, and has been a key DeLay supporter. Like DeLay, Feeney accepted a trip to South Korea from a group that later declared itself a foreign agent, which would have made the group ineligible to fund trips for lawmakers. Like DeLay, Feeney traveled to Scotland and played golf, accompanied by Abramoff.

Democrats also are going after Rep. Charles H. Taylor (R-N.C.), one of the wealthiest House members, who has battled legal and ethical questions in past campaigns. Republicans hold a 29-seat edge over Democrats in the House (with one vacancy and one independent).

play the game. If they want sympathy, let them go eat worms.
