.yep folks we know that Delay is guilty and Frist is guilty and all these corrupt Republicans should be behind bars,and at the very least kicked out of D.C. but there is no doubt these crooks will slide through because the media will spin their story and the Judges are in their hip pocket,especially a Judge in Texas........Time will tell but Delay will slip through the briar patch...

2. The Paper Trail Behind Tom DeLay's Indictment

WASHINGTON - September 29 - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was indicted by a
Texas grand jury Wednesday on a charge of conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws.
Following the indictment, DeLay announced that he would temporarily step down from his
post as House Majority Leader.

The indictment alleges that $190,000 was illegally funneled from six corporations through
DeLay's nonfederal group and then transferred to the Republican National State Elections
Committee.

All of these transactions took place through DeLay's 527 group called Texans for a
Republican Majority. These 527s are nonfederal fundraising accounts formerly used in
elections by candidates and parties. Their use by parties and candidates for federal office
was banned, effective after the 2002 election.

The $190,000 transfer to the Republican National State Elections Committee in September
2002 was reported to the IRS by the 527 group.

6. and don't believe for one minute that delay is popular throughout Texas...

he's not. He has his constituency, which of late is thinning. delay's big draw was that he was perceived as a power and a winner. There comes a time when the stench of corruption becomes so overbearing that even the lowest bottom feeders have to retch. And keep in mind, delay didn't get to his position by being a nice guy. He's made many, many enemies, of both parties. Many in his own party have VERY quietly complained about his obnoxious arrogance in the past, though never had the balls to do so publicly. That was part of delay's "charm," he was ruthless to friend and foe alike. I also think he put off quite a few of his supposed allies with the "I am the government" bullshit.

He's as dirty as they come. Nut him in the village square as an example to the rest of the bastards. Their time has come.

9. Hope you ar correct...

I f you are correct then how in the Hell can a corrupt idiot from Texas have ever become President..I mean if the Repubs just wanted a puppet why in the hell didnt they choose someone just a liitle brighter than this total incompetent idiot.
Everyone in Texas must have known the Bush background but yet they elected him Governor. But then again maybe he stole that election too...
