Republicans have no honor. The Hammer is a goner, no doubt. I just wonder why it is taking so long for the GOP to turn on him. Like Lott, it took about 5 minutes and Frist made him history. I can't figure it out though. Maybe he just has too much dirt on his buds or maybe the GOP just depends on him being the "bad cop" among them. Delay could always redistrict or pull some other scam to get elected so he never needed to worry about how he appeared. 2008 is near and they need to scramble. They all look like rich bullies who don't play by the rules. They are about to ditch him like Trent Lott. Republicans have no honor. The Hammer is a goner, no doubt.

His declining power is one reason attributed to the growing disunion in the Republican party -- couldn't happen to a nicer guy, huh? He should have to eat his leftover rat poison. Did you ever hear the theory that he, from his days as an expert in exterminating varmints, had know-how and/or connections to anthrax?

Thinking he's above the law as well. Heck, I can actually see him damning everyone to Hell, as Saddam did. Totally dillusional. somehow I see Delay as being as surly as Saddam.
