    YEEE HAAA!

    Just wondering what exactly is the other 60% thinking? I mean what does he have to do?


  2. Rich says:

    Indicted doesn’t mean guilty, I’d be one of the 60 percent waiting for the legal process to work,if he’s found guilty I’d be for him resigning immediately, but he’s only been charged at this point.

    rich


  3. RevDeb says:

    ONLY 40 %? That doesn’t speak well for those Texans, then again if one state could be “voted off the island” Texas would be it.


  4. Punchy says:

    Not sure what the news is, here. It’s been 40% (with the margin of error) since May…am I missing something?


  5. Better Dead then Red says:

    40% of your constituents not liking you is one thing, but 40% thinking you should resign (even bush’s numbers aren’t that bad) is horrible! re-election? not even possible with popularity like that!

    He should resign! Let the judicial process work its magic but beyond this indictment the guy is a sleeze ball! The people of Sugarland are better off without him!


  6. Ugh says:

    Punchy is right, what’s the news here? And what was his victory margin in the last election? If he won 80% of the vote, this would be news. But if he won 60% or less, who cares? If I was a Democrat in that district I would have wanted him to resign from the day he won the election.


  7. Better Dead then Red says:

    Besides, there are a lot of displace Democrats from New Orleans in his district now so that might further seal his fate…


  8. wisedup says:

    Rich, I did a lot of research on delay, he has been an ‘inditment’ waiting to happen. He’s been walking on , and stepping over the criminal line for a very long time now.


  9. Jesus Christ God of WAR says:

    I didn’t realize Texans were that smart. Less smart than other state’s citizens. Still, pretty smart to show 40% against DeLay. :-)


  10. Pete Bogs says:

    well, there was no “shoot the liberal commies who’re responsible for all my problems” option on there, as DeLay would like… 40% is a good start, though…


  11. Mary Poppin says:

    This is great!!!! When can we celebrrate? SOON I HOPE!!!! It is about time we got this crook out of office. Maybe some of these Texans are not all brainwashed.


  12. Zookeeper says:

    I think DeLay should show respect for his constituents and resign. Ha!! I crack myself up!


  13. AvengingAngel says:

    Get the latest Delay news, briefings, timelines, statutes and other essential documents in the Tom Delay Scandal Center.


  14. Clyde the Ripper says:

    This is probably a medical first! We all knew Texans had big belt buckles, which is not news, but to learn that 60% are born with a rectal/cranial insertion is certainly revealing. No wonder the sale of belly button contact lenses is so high in Texas. If Ronnie Earle were indicting dumb he could really set some presecuting records.


  15. The Northeast Dilemma says:

    I remember when an NBC/Wall St journal poll showed that 39% of the country wanted Clinton to resign when it became apparent he lied under oath and obstructed justice. Hmmmm, what happened to him?

    Go after DeLay all you want – ya ain’t going to get him. Maybe Rove… Maybe Frist… But, not DeLay.

    I wish the GOP had the smear machine the Democrats did. I would love to do to Pelosi what you guys are doing to DeLay. You McCarthys who hate America, that is.


  16. Ryan Neat says:

    “I remember when an NBC/Wall St journal poll showed that 39% of the country wanted Clinton to resign when it became apparent he lied under oath and obstructed justice. Hmmmm, what happened to him?”

    Lied under oath? How do you feel about Rove, it was shown last week he Lied under oath. NED do you think Rove should resign?


  17. Jesus Christ God of WAR says:

    It’s amazing how disciples of Bushy Boy George and his cabal can support someone from their own party who has several indictments against them. You’d think they’d at least distance themselves just a little in case the indictments turned into jail time.

    Alas, the trolls are too stupid to realize that s**t stinks no matter what it sticks to. And they’re standing so close to the source that s**t is sticking to the trolls even as the babble incoherently on about nothing important.


  18. Ryan Neat says:

    “I wish the GOP had the smear machine the Democrats did. I would love to do to Pelosi what you guys are doing to DeLay. You McCarthys who hate America, that is.”

    Smear Machine? What democratic smear machine? As for republican smears, swiftboat/kerry, plame, Clinton, you guys are nothing BUT smears. And as we’ve previously shown, the best you can do is say someone ‘misled – not lied’ under oath. The response clinton gave was in fact TRUE based on the grand jury definitions. Unlike Delay who’s ALREADY BEEN FOUND GUILTY 3 TIMES OF ETHICS VIOLATIONS!

    Oh and you didn’t get the Memo? Ann Coulter and several republican politicians recently said that McCarthy was a good guy. Wow, does that mean we’re all GOOD?


  19. Ryan Neat says:

    NED, are you jealous because clinton didn’t soil your dress? Is that why you’re a clinton hater? Is that why you’re obsessed with a man who isn’t even in office?

    Get a life you loser!


  20. Punchy says:

    #20–you took the words right off my keyboard…how are these CLOWNS still obsessed with a man 5 years removed?

    See…they CANNOT defend their own, they can only trash the other. The classic SMEAR technique. It’s all RepubliCANTS do!


  21. progressive and proud says:

    So NeD, let me get this straight. You don’t think Delay should resign – why? Because he is innocent? Or, like I figure, you don’t care if he did anything illegal, just as long as “one of yours” doesn’t go down for it.

    So, you are either REALLY naive or you condone crime. It HAS to be one or the other. Speak


  22. Pablo in Mexico says:

    Hey NeD. Close but no cigar.

    I will bet he dont get it.


  23. Dartanyon says:

    Well, at least morons like Joe SixPack and NED line up to lick DeLay’s t’aint. So all is not lost! LMAO!!!


  24. WaltTheMan says:

    NeD – Donate your brain to medicine – there has to be a flatworm in need of a transplant.


  25. Susan says:

    #3 Rich, I suppose Saddam Hussein is innocent until proven guilty too? You convicted him years ago and his trial hasn’t even started. Hypocrit.

    NED, you’re all for locking up Rove and Frist? Good for you, you’re showing some signs of being a part of the human race.


  26. Susan says:

    I’m in love with life.

    The pugs are turning on each other.

    The evangalists are turning on each other.

    I’m walking on sunshine, doesn’t it feel good?


  27. dave says:

    IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK, IF IT QUACKS LIKE A DUCK,IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK ,IT IS A DUCK.TOM DELAY IS GOING TO JAIL. BY THE WAY,WHO IS BETTER OFF NOW, THAN 2YEARS AGO? WHO IS BETTER OFF NOW,THAN 6 YEARS AGO? I WILL TELL YOU WHO,BIG BUSINESS, CORPORATE AMERICA. I DONT KNOW ABOUT ANY BODY ELSE BUT I AM NOT!!! I WOULD LIKE TO THANK DELAY RIGHT NOW.THANK YOU FOR BEING SO GREEDY,THAT YOU HAVE FINALY STUCK YOUR HEAD IN THE NOOSE AND THERE WILL BE NO ETHICS COMMITTEE YO SAVE YOU!!!!!! AN AMERICAN CITIZEN


  28. cynical ex-hippie says:

    See, back in Texas we have this saying. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, shoot it.


  29. Susan says:

    What this poll indicates is that 60% of Americas criminals reside in Sugarland TX.


  30. Susan says:

    Delays co-defendants are distancing themselves from the Hammer.

    Their lawyers say that attack ad on Earl is shameless.

    Although Delays lawyer says its perfectly legal to run attack ads against Earl, others question whether it can be construed as influencing the jury pool.

    Keep it up Delay, you are digging yourself deeper and deeper and your so called buddies want no part of it.


  31. Andrew G. says:

    40% is only a few percent more than it was six months ago, before these indictments.


  32. Clyde the Ripper says:

    #32

    See #15 and make a contribution to NRCIRTS (National Rectal/Cranial Insertion Reversal Team Surgeons AKA the DNC (Democrat National Committee)). Any little bit will help!

  33. Sharon Cox says:

    You all know how poll’s are. Bet they didn’t ask the next question. How many want to see him in jail, 60%. There ya go, see the Texans are with the program. Ask and you shall recieve….Blessings


  34. Joe Sixpack says:

    Daryanton #24, this is the second post of the same message and this time I would like to give a different response than my impulsive lashing out as I did yesterday. I must confess that as a rightwing conservative I would deserve being called a moron. And it was especially fitting for ol’ NED.

    But correct me if I’m wrong, pal, but don’t you think that the vile, filthy remark about licking DeLay’s t’aint was over the line? I mean, what would your mama say? I have no idea what your “LMAO” means so try to figure this one out as its much easier: FY.
