New data: 26 congressmen bought out by Rep Delay
Congressmen Caught In Rep. DeLay’s Web Of Corruption Under Fire

WASHINGTON – Twenty-six U.S. representatives received the maximum contribution allowed from former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s political action committee this election cycle, according to an analysis released today by the Campaign for America’s Future. The data, prepared by the Center for Responsive Politics, outlines $10,000 contributions since the beginning of 2005 from Rep. DeLay’s ARMPAC (Americans for a Republican Majority PAC).

The 26 members are ... Rep. Bob Beauprez, R-Colo ... Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo ...

Campaign for America's Future deputy director Ellen Miller said the members who took the money illustrate a culture of corruption.

“Looks like Rep. DeLay was trying to buy some insurance in case trouble came down the pike. Trouble is here,” said Miller. <snip>

2. Both of them are done here.
Beauprez will be tainted with DeLay and will lose his governor bid.

Say hello to Governor Ritter!
