Classless DeLay supporters disrupt press conference

[johncoby2]

WIth their leader branded as a quitter, a few delay supporters with the same amount of class DeLay has disrupted a press conference by Nick Lampson calling for a special election on May 13.

This is the type of people we have to put up with here in the District. They are mad that DeLay quit. And they are madder that we have a great candidate that will take his place.

Someone please call the WAAAAAAAAAAAbulance!

You know, when we protested DeLay we NEVER disrupted the event.

1. Delay made the decision

Why are the blaming someone else for it?

[salin]

3. because it is always someone ELSE's fault.

No responsibility Republicans.

4. Well see here

Expecting class from someone that is so arrogant to continue to support an indicted felon was your first problem.;)

5. Delay the Qutter's Letter to me

I'm in DeLay's Texas 22nd Congressional District and I sent him an email a while back asking him to support Bush's Impeachment. He sent me this letter today.

Dear Thomas:

For the past 21 years as your Congressman, it has been an
incredible honor to represent you and your neighbors within the
22nd district of our great state of Texas.

When I started in public service, I was inspired by the optimism
and conservative principles embodied by one of our greatest
presidents, Ronald Reagan. Since coming to Congress in 1985,
America has moved closer to the "shining city on a hill" that he so
magnificently described.

Together, with my colleagues, we put policies in place to renew
America's security, prosperity, and families. We adopted tax relief
year after year, reformed welfare, banned partial-birth abortion,
and started the effort to defend our homeland in the war on terror.

Here in the district, we have worked hard and accomplished
dozens of major priorities, including building a robust
infrastructure for our region with a booming port, medical and
energy base. We've cultivated a vibrant Texas Medical Center,
revitalized NASA and our human space program with a new
mission and priorities, provided the Houston region with the vision
and resources to achieve world class mobility and receive critical
transportation corridors, and created tens of thousands of new jobs.
And we've done it all on the enduring strength of our principles
and our ideas.

It has been an honor and privilege to serve you, the constituents of
the 22nd congressional district, in this the people's House.

Now, however, after many weeks of personal prayerful thinking
and analysis, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to close
this public service chapter of my life. It's time for me to begin
pursuing new opportunities to engage in the important cultural and
legislative battles of our day from outside the arena of the U.S.
House of Representatives.

You and the other constituents of the 22nd district of Texas deserve
a debate on the vital national and local issues that you care most
about and that affect your life every day, and now we can be sure
you'll have that debate. So today, I am letting you know of my
intention to resign my seat in the House effective sometime before
mid-June. Between now and the date that I leave the House, I will
continue to focus on the legislative priorities of the 22nd district.

Please rest assured that after my departure this summer, there will
be staff in the Washington and district offices providing the same
constituent services that are available now to assist you with any
help you may need with federal agencies.

I am excited about the future, which holds, as always, America's
brightest day. May God continue to bless you, your family and our
great state of Texas.

Sincerely,

Tom DeLay
Member of Congress

6. They managed to dredge up "30 DeLay supporters" ?

What are these guys, like the Uday Hussein fan club?

[DBoon]

7. doesn't Delay have about that many illegitimate children?

Or so I heard via unverified rumor from an unqualified source

[acmejack]

8. I know you would never have even DREAMT of disrupting Hot Tub Tommy

In an ideal world the Delay boosters would be so dispirited they would all pack up and move to Oklahoma. But even I don't dare hope for that kind of embarrassment of riches. Soldier valiantly on Johncoby2, see you soon!

[Nicole]

9. No thanks!

Oklahoma doesn't need the Delay folks. We would have to send you the Coburn boosters in exchange.

[Montagnard]

10. DeLay tactics

Remember 2000 Florida STOP THE VOTE thugs?
