With Delay Exterminated, our next target must be Speaker Dennis Hastert.
He is every bit as corrupt as Tom Delay, with public ethical problems that go back to the House Banking Scandal of 1994.

He is tied to Abramoff.

He took money from the government of Turkey to prevent any resolutions or actions on the Armenian Genocide.

There are allegations of impropriety in his votes that favor the pharmaceutical industry, especially his vote on Medicare Part D.

And he is the most powerful man in Congress.

We MUST make him our next target priority.

We MUST go after every hint of corruption surrounding this greasy sleazy man until his name in synonymous with with Delay's.

This HAS to be our priority this election year!

1. you make it seem as though the democrats had something to do with it
It was a courageous prosecuter from Texas who helped remove delay.

4. If the Democratic party is to stand for justice, then yes...
Let's face it, if that Prosecutor was a Republican, it wouldn't have happened...

Republicans break the law left and right, but that's OK with them and their hypocritical mantra "rule of law"...

Yes, he prosecuted Democrats too, BUT THAT'S THE POINT.

I don't recall the Republicans "distancing" themselves from the Clinton witch hunt...

7. In a war you don't care if your target went down to "friendly fire"
You pick the next priority target.

That's what I am suggesting we do.

5. Frist won't be in the Senate
but he still needs to be carted off to jail for at least as long as Martha served.

8. never going to happen
best way to get rid of him is to change the house...why do you think they gave all the money to duckworth? they still need denny if the house doesn`t go democratic. that was a fat piece of change for o`hare wasn`t it? just think of all those union workers on those road projects in his home town area and of course my little town`s pet project.
i haven`t noticed the big boys and girls from washington anywhere around here in the 14th and i know they won`t be.

13. Don't forget "The Boner" (with apologies to Stephanie Miller)
Really, anyone with an elementary knowlege of German knows that Boehner is pronounced a la Stephanie Miller and not "Bayner". I keep waiting for Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" to take up the "Boner" gauntlet but no dice yet.
