On an interview this morning on Fox News Radio’s Tony Snow Show, Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) revealed a plan to have the Texas legislature oust district attorney Ronnie Earle, the prosecutor who charged DeLay with money laundering:
Transcript:
SNOW: Okay, so at this point, you know — are you willing to let bygones be bygones?
DELAY: Absolutely not. Texas should not allow a district attorney from Travis County have this kind of power. And they can take his power away from him because there was the Texas legislature that gave him this power. And I think that will happen in the next session of the Texas legislature.
SNOW: Oh, really?
DELAY: Yes.
DeLay sounds like someone who is really confident of his ability to win on the merits in a court of law.
Hot damn. I can’t wait!
April 4th, 2006 at 12:04 pmSo much for turning the other cheek. And Tom Delay compares himself to Jesus…
April 4th, 2006 at 12:06 pma “picture perfect” retardican if i have ever seen one!! i think he should keep on boasting about his k streeet connections! i’m betting his fellow retards would just as well have him shut up, than blab on and on about what great connections they have with corporations in bedrooms across washingtons spring landscape! hhhhaaaaahhhaaaahhhaaa! go tom, you smart dude you! government for profit= GOP!!!
April 4th, 2006 at 12:12 pmI’m gonna print that and cut it out and use it as a bookmark for Crashing the Gate
April 4th, 2006 at 12:15 pmTom Delay thinks he is above the law. I cann’t believe what I am hearing.
WHAT NEXT!!!
April 4th, 2006 at 12:16 pmDelay forgot he is still going to jail. He can hold bible classes, and lead right-wing christians from he cell.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:19 pmcrooksandliars is having fun with delay video from the vault…
April 4th, 2006 at 12:20 pmfranken’s having fun too - replaced the usual grateful dead music for dance party…
The more light that gets shined onto Delay, the better we will all be. Let him keep at his antics for all to see.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:22 pmTrumped only by Nixon’s “I am not a crook.”
April 4th, 2006 at 12:23 pm‘When I buy people, I want something for it!’…..
April 4th, 2006 at 12:26 pmyou go little man, and I want you to walk on water too.
Tom Delay thinks he is above the law. I cann’t believe what I am hearing.
WHAT NEXT!!!
Comment by Mary Poppin — April 4, 2006 @ 12:16 pm
Kind of like Cynthia McKinney, that above the law thing. I love the way that TP has completely ignored that story. But that is what goes on here. Never ever challenge Democrats.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:26 pmHAMMER NAILED!
April 4th, 2006 at 12:27 pmThe Texas Bugman will soon enjoy the
company of his ‘real flock’, convicted
felons.
Oh, wait! He’s a Christian.
Well, preaching is needed behind bars
too, Tom.
For me, I’ll continue to pray that every
last one of you greedy bastards do the
time you so richly deserve.
Kudos to Ronnie Earle!
We couldn’t have done it without you.
DeLay Wont Go Quietly Into the Night…
Not that anyone expected otherwise, but courtesy of Think Progress we can see that DeLay wont sit still for long…
April 4th, 2006 at 12:27 pmBRING IT ON…BORG!
http://tomdelaymovie.com/trailer.php
April 4th, 2006 at 12:27 pmI worry that with his influential money-making powers, he can convince some ethically challenged people in power down there to do just that; oust Earle. Man, I hope DeLay doesn’t do it.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:28 pmOh… god… What an utterly foul human being Tom DeLay is. There just is not a single trait of good to be found in that black-heated husk.
The only positive statement I can make about DeLay is that he is a good bad example.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:29 pmThis is Republican country down here in Texas. But I don’t think the legislature would be that bold. Hope I’m right.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:31 pmHere’s a headline I’d like to see:
RONNIE EARLE NAILS THE HAMMER!
April 4th, 2006 at 12:31 pmGod forbid a district attorney be allowed to pursue criminal action. It’s a travesty, I tell you, a travesty!
April 4th, 2006 at 12:32 pmCynthia McKinney never did anything wrong. The police grabbed her arm. He needed to show a little respect. He was in the wrong. She should suit him. This has been blowing way out of proportion.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:33 pmThe only positive statement I can make about DeLay is that he is a good bad example.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:33 pmapropos to a variety of wingers! multi-puropose! repeat often!
Just last week at the “War on Christians” conference, Pastor Rick Scarborough told Tom Delay:
“God always does his best work after a crucifixion…Keep your eyes on Jesus.”
The Hammer would do better to keep his eyes on Ronnie Earle and the federal prosecutors.
For more details, see:
April 4th, 2006 at 12:34 pm“Tom Delay’s Christ Complex.”
lets see….. cynthia m. gets assulted by congressional police, or a congressman steals hundreds of thousands of dollars and directly affects the lives of all americans with corporate favors,…..geeee lets, see….. which is clearly immoral, illegal and more directly affects my life…….. gee, i don’t know,…… i need a land line!!!! christ ben, get a gripe! the retardicans are going down, like one of their priests’ at choir practice!!!!! bbwwwaaahhhaa!!!
April 4th, 2006 at 12:36 pmTom DeLay is a criminal…
…he should be (politically) exterminated…
…forever…
…his assets (and those of anyone in his family or network of friends who’ve become instantly wealthy with no proof of how they got it) should be seized…
…and DeLay, his wife and daughter imprisoned for campaign finance fraud…
April 4th, 2006 at 12:41 pmTom Delay says that he can’t win reelection. He is running in a republican state, in a district which he personally drew.
Now I am sure there is more to the story than Delay’s reelection chances, but I am astounded that he concedes in April that he cannot win in November.
Question: Is this simply a function of his criminal activities, or does it suggest a “tsunami” is on the way? Does this suggest that republicans will lose the house?
If so, what then?
Michael
April 4th, 2006 at 12:41 pmBen, darlin’, you repugs are in power, if Cynthia truly did anything wrong, Get a warrant, arrest her, send her to trial and if she’s really guilty, send her to jail. See how it works? Christ, can’t you repugs do anything right? I don’t want a criminal on my side, again, if ANY DEMOCRAT does anyhting wrong, YOU GUYS ARE IN POWER, do your jobs, get rid of them. So how’s that workin’ out for you?
April 4th, 2006 at 12:42 pmIf the Texas Legislature moves against Ronnie Earle…
…federal troops should move against the Texas Legislature…
April 4th, 2006 at 12:43 pmHot froggy…but this is exactly why you and Mary Poppin define what it is to be a liberal. Both of you claim that she was assaulted. Assaulted! Clearly she has too high of an opinion of herself and thinks that it is all about her. She was asked to stop. She did not. Then she assaults the officer. But you two continue to dismiss her actions because and only because she is from the left side of the aisle. You guys never question the constant pettiness of this site. Look at the Bush baseball story. Petty BS. For the record, I think Delay is guilty. I think what he has done is serious. I think he should be prosecuted if found guilty. Not hard at all for me to say that no one is above the law.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:46 pmHey Tom DeLay - no president should have absolute power and make up laws and interpret laws to suit his wants. So Tom, if you think that Ronnie Earle is bad, take a good look at your friend George W Bush - he has more felonies that he can count. Maybe Ronnie Earle can charge you with making a hostile threat (hahahaha).
April 4th, 2006 at 12:47 pmBen,
He put his hands on her first.
That’s assault.
Now can you stop blowing smoke and get back to the topic?
April 4th, 2006 at 12:49 pmtommy boy has said he is doing this to have more time to help orphans …..hahahahahaha
April 4th, 2006 at 12:53 pmtommy maybe they can bring the orphans into prison to play with you…hahahahahaha
have a great life you filthy piece of repo scum, now I gotta wash my hands after writeing this
Tom DeLay is no Jesus Christ.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:54 pmFortunately for Delay’ he has helped to block gay marriage in Texas.
This will help him avoid any messy divisions of his marital assets when he divorces his jail cell hubby in the next 5 - 10 years.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:54 pmT Desmond Doss died this week… http://www.cmhep.org/ B5ConscientiousObj/ Supp/ DesmondDoss.htm
He is the type of man DeLay could never be and his legacy is what DeLay and the criminal enterprise klnown as the republican party is shitting all over evry single day.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:55 pmEveryone, pepeat after me: “DeLay’s strategy for the Repugs re-election is is ‘Cut and Run”. We need to say this again and again. Just make sure these words are repeated: “DeLay…Repugs…Cut and Run”, until it catches on in MSM (I know, I’m dreaming, but I’m delirious at the moment :) )
April 4th, 2006 at 12:56 pmPoor Tom. It will take him awhile to realize he doesn’t have the juice to get the Texas legislature to do his bidding anymore. When he does realize it, he is going to be in for a hell of a psychological collapse. And then there are his legal problems with a good chance of going to jail. Wouldn’t want to be Tom Delay.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:56 pmHey TB, when a cop tells you to stop and you keep walking and ignore his requests he is going to put his hands on you. That’s being a cop not assault.
Now you can stop with your BS and get back to your topic.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:56 pmI see a couple of people responded to Ben the troll. I wouldn’t waste my time defending McKinney, I would just respond to Ben in the infamous words of another of his heroes:
April 4th, 2006 at 12:57 pm“Ben, go F*** yourself.”
bwaahahahah…McKinney is OLD NEWS! Gotta love the timing…
April 4th, 2006 at 12:58 pmHey Ben - Since you believe that no one is above the law, then you must be in agreement that George W Bush should be impeached for breaking the 4th Ammendment to the Constitution of the US by spying on Americans without a WARRANT. No one is above the law your words.
April 4th, 2006 at 12:59 pmI see a couple of people responded to Ben the troll. I wouldn’t waste my time defending McKinney, I would just respond to Ben in the infamous words of another of his heroes:
“Ben, go F*** yourself.â€
Comment by joe the butler
OK! Works for me.
“Ben, go F*** yourself.â€
Thanks, Joe!
April 4th, 2006 at 1:01 pmDear Ben,
Get over it, dude. McKinney is OLD NEWS! She’s been RIPPED from the headlines because the repug corruption machine is imploding :) bwaahahahah…Gotta love the timing :)
April 4th, 2006 at 1:01 pmDamn Joe that’s clever. There is no defending McKinney. She assaulted a law enforcement officer and should be properly charged and arrested for doing so. Then they can allow her to properly apologize and subsequently drop the charges or give her probation.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:01 pmRonnie Earle is a fascist worse than Ken Starr. Of course a bunch of America haters at ThinkProgress love him. Meanwhile, you support slapping policeman.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:02 pm#35
April 4th, 2006 at 1:03 pmI like that - Delay - Republicans - cut and run. If that statement wasn’t true, then the twins would be in Iraq and so would Cheney’s daughters (they are not too old to serve).
according to rep. rohrebacher of california, shouldn’t delay be out picking fruit somewhere?
http://www.cnn.com/ 2006/ POLITICS/ 03/ 30/ immigration.house.ap.ap/ index.html
April 4th, 2006 at 1:03 pm#25 - My first thought when I heard about DeLay’s plans this morning was — what else do they have against the old boy? Something else is going on.
#26 - Well said, Strawberrybitch. (Love the name, by the way.) My feelings exactly. I can’t believe the trolls are comparing McKinney’s incident with DeLay’s actions.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:03 pmoops - sorry for the double-post.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:03 pm“The judges need to be intimidated. They need to uphold the Constitution. (If they don’t behave) we’re going to go after them in a big way.”
-Tom Delay
Talk about respect for law and the constitution.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:04 pmDisruption,
April 4th, 2006 at 1:04 pmHave you SEEN Earle’s record?
He has prosecuted more Dem’s than Repug’s.
So how bad is he, now?
See how easy it is to do what Ben is doing? Look, I’ll try one
Damn Ben that’s clever. There is no defending Cheney. He shot a lawyer in the face and should be properly charged and arrested for doing so. Then they can allow him to properly apologize and subsequently drop the charges or give him probation.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:05 pmHe’s said some funny stuff:
April 4th, 2006 at 1:06 pm
#40 - That has yet to be decided whether GWB has broken the law. I watched a panel of judges on CSPAN this past week that were discussing the case and the majority opinion was that he had not acted outside his authority or the law. But we will see.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:06 pmI don’t DeLay touching my fruit (yuk)!
April 4th, 2006 at 1:06 pm#49 - hold that thought when the new Supreme Court guts Roe, rules race based preferences unconstitutional and expands pres powers.
After Stevens steps down in June, you will need to worry.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:07 pmHey Ben - Chappaquiddick, Sandy Burger, Bill Clinton, Cynthia McKinney, Chappaquiddick, Sandy Burger, Bill Clinton, Cynthia McKinney,
Chappaquiddick, Sandy Burger, Bill Clinton, Cynthia McKinney,
Chappaquiddick, Sandy Burger, Bill Clinton, Cynthia McKinney,
Chappaquiddick, Sandy Burger, Bill Clinton, Cynthia McKinney,
Chappaquiddick, Sandy Burger, Bill Clinton, Cynthia McKinney… there feel better?
You can wrap yourself in this mantra all you want. It’s not going to change the fact that your side is full of criminals.
Oh yeah - go F*** yourself!
Wow - that does feel pretty good!
April 4th, 2006 at 1:09 pmBen: the Repubs have the majority in all branched of government. Of course, the widespread incompetence that’s been overtly demonstrated by Bush and his entire administration likely means they wouldn’t know how to issue a warrant.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:09 pm#56 & #57 - that’s it? that’s all you got? weak, weak, weak….
April 4th, 2006 at 1:12 pmBen I agree with you a little bit. If she refused the officer’s request to produce ID and she struck him, that is wrong and should have consequences however to compare an incident like that to conducting illegal activities designed to corrupt and destroy our country is ridiculous.
Now Ben I would like you to consider what the penalty should be for McKinney and then multiply it by 1,000 to account for a murder. Now multiply it by 100,000 for the Iraqi civilians murdered in this war of choice. If you’re willing to impose that penalty on the Bush administration then we will have Cynthia McKinney thrown in jail.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:12 pm#53 -
What are you talking about? Bush has so many felonies it’s unbelievable. How about his Drunken Driving, dismissed, AWOL, dismissed, cocaine bust, dismissed, insider trading, dismissed… this is just to name a few… BEFORE he started tampering with the Consitution.
I meant to print - I don’t want Tom Delay touching my fruit.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:12 pm“The judges need to be intimidated. They need to uphold the Constitution. (If they don’t behave) we’re going to go after them in a big way.â€

I think the little boy got a serious spanking, so he’s trying to kick the dog. Unfortunately, his family owns a pitbull.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:14 pmHeh — this sounds like great retort the next time the Repubs accuse Dems of whining when the latter don’t get their way.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:16 pmBen, She can’t be charged if she was going to congress (no dem or Rep can be charged) That is the law!!!
April 4th, 2006 at 1:16 pmLOTS OF MONEY BEING PASSED AROUND THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE RIGHT NOW, I’M GUESSING.
WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
April 4th, 2006 at 1:16 pmIf McKinney broke the law than Cheney should of been arrested for shooting a man.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:16 pmThe judges need to be intimidate…. (delay)
Wow - guess Delay sleeps with Coulter - they both seem to enjoy threatening the judiciary. How do they get away with this crapola? Clinton enjoys some sex in the White House and he gets impeached. Delay threatens the judiciary, and NADA…
April 4th, 2006 at 1:17 pm#61 - remember that when the right-wing court steamrolls your agenda. Remember - assasinating justices is illegal. Have to remind the babykillers on the left.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:17 pm#58 -No Dumbass - That’s all you’ve got!
Or has your side come up with new talking points in the last 30 seconds?
April 4th, 2006 at 1:18 pmI am a little behind on all this. I do think it is odd that Delay admits that he may not win re-election. I also think he is going to join the K-street lobbyists, and be very influential, even if he is thrown in jail. My biggest hope, is that this is the tip of the iceberg, and we will see more influential republians stepping down in disgrace.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:18 pm#65 - there is a difference between an accident and a blatant for our men and women in uniform. Why do you hate cops?
April 4th, 2006 at 1:19 pm#59 - You may not have done the math but according to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International it is estimated that Saddam was killing between 75 to 125 people per day for 22 years. That means at an average of 100 a day he would have killed 109,500 over the past 3 years. So according to their math and your math this administration is responsible for saving 9,500 lives. Which means we can go ahead and put Miss McKinney in jail.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:19 pm#65 - there is a difference between an accident and blatant disrepect for our men and women in uniform. Why do you hate cops?
April 4th, 2006 at 1:19 pmI like that word implode - it has a really nice ring to it.
#67 - it is so amazing how your party calls pro-choice killing babies but you are all about the death penalty….
April 4th, 2006 at 1:19 pm#72 - why do you hate America?
April 4th, 2006 at 1:21 pmYes, DeLay’s most destructive and insideous role may be still in the offing as a K street lobbyist. By then he may be lobbying for gay rights so that he and his cell mate might make it official.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:22 pm#69 - interesting point of view - Delay joining K Street… didn’t look at his resignation from that viewpoint. Can he still be a lobbyist while in jail? Doesn’t that require some money? After the Democrats take back Congress in the Fall of 06, there needs to be redistricting.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:22 pmRepublican Mind set:
Ronnie Earle - Out of control Prosecutor, Pattrick Fitzgerald - Out of control special prosecutor, Kenneth Starr - Patriot. They say Earle goes for republicans which his record does not bear out, but if he does it’s like criticizing Giulliani for going after Italians when prosecuting the mob. If that’s where the crime is that is where the prosecutor should be looking.
Any investigation of them is partisan, any investigation they do is in the countries best interests.
Dan Rostenkowski stealing stamps - a major corruption case. Duke Cunningham selling votes for millions - Hardly news worthy. DeLay selling votes for pennies - Hardly news worthy. They continaully say everyone does it, yet I don’t think they realise that they are implicating themselves even deeper in the shit when tthey say that as they are more everyone than the dems and thus far in a republican controlled congress they seem to be the only ones getting caught, and they are the only ones who have tried to re-write laws and rules to favor themselves when caught.
Clinton lying about a blow job - a coansitutional crisis worthy of impeachment. Bush lying about anything - get over it and move on its in the past.
Over the years I have come to more and mroe believe that the republican party has morphed into the largest criminal organization on the planet.
The DeLay supporters who call Earle out of control neglect to realise that others are already serving prison time for conducting the exact same type of transactions that DeLay is being prosecuted for. They neglect to realize or admit that these are transactions being conducte din different states all by members of the same party which to my mind smacks of organized crime.
Benny boy, McKinney is an isolatedc incident, not a pattern of abuse. Either way if she is prosecuted and deserves to be prosecuted I will support the prosecution. With DeLay and company this has been a pattern of behavior carried out in an organized manner. Do you support the prosecution of him? Even with the evidence leaked thus far? The facts seem very similar toa case up in MN (I think) where the guy went to prison for money laundering. Seems like similar facts should at least lead to similar charges.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:22 pm#73 - it’s so amazing how your party wastes your breath on vicious murderers who deserve the death penalty, but would allow the extermination of society’s most innocent.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:22 pmDoesn’t DeLay realize that, now that he’s out of power, it’s probable that few legislators will act to help him? They might destroy their own careers …
April 4th, 2006 at 1:23 pmrepugs.strategy.cut and run.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:23 pmBen arrest her already, for fuck sake. Again your guys are in power, let her have her day in court. FINE, we don’t want a criminal in our camp. But the reason you guys don’t arrest her is “YOU GOT NOTHING ON HER!” Watch the bloody video again, I tivoed it, I can’t see dick? Again, if she did anything illegal, arrest her and shut the fuck up.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:24 pm#74 - I am not the one giddy over death and destruction in Iraq like most of you here at ThinkProgress. You hate America.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:24 pmWell how about that . How many more are to go? The y have already passed so many bad things like the perscprition drug plan on seniors and others.Can`t be fast enough for me.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:24 pm#77 - Mark read my post #28. I said I think Delay is guilty. I think it is serious. I think he should go to prison if found guilty. Can’t be anymore clear than that.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:25 pmBen
That is why it is a good thing that the law is not a matter of opinion, but a matter of what is in fact, law. Go read the constitution yourself, it is very clear on the matter.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:26 pm#75 - are you saying that Delay may have a change of heart after spending time in jail? That was too funny - jail may change Delay’s Christian views on gays (Jesus never spoke about gays, after all, he spent most of his time hanging out with 12 other men - hummm).
April 4th, 2006 at 1:26 pm#81 - I agree. Arrest her if they have a case for assault. My point is as I said originally that no one is above the law. Tom Delay should go to jail if found guilty.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:27 pmHow bad does it get when a crooked polition can’t even run in Texas?
April 4th, 2006 at 1:28 pmdelay also said,He was the Government ,does this mean that we are gonna clean house in Washington then start over with real people and not empty suits for corp cash?
April 4th, 2006 at 1:29 pmDing dong the witch is dead….this is the most exciting thing to happen here in Texas since….well this is it!!!!
I LOVE that the trolls are so pissed they have to come here and whine about —well nothing…”they got nothing.” People, I am loving life. Tom Delay won’t have any money to pass around the state. He needs it all for his defense. He is so going down. And that’s prior to actually being locked away! (sorry, I am so giddy I just could not help myself)
April 4th, 2006 at 1:29 pm#61 - remember that when the right-wing court steamrolls your agenda. Remember - assasinating justices is illegal. Have to remind the babykillers on the left.
Comment by Culture of Disruption — April 4, 2006 @ 1:17 pm
I don’t have an ‘agenda’. And I’m not confused and subdued by your fear mongering.
You clearly aren’t worth the time to have a rational debate as you are lacking ration.
Next
April 4th, 2006 at 1:31 pmben = ned. Guess his screen logon’s are getting booted one by one.
Well here’s to the new “improved” ben/troll logon to bet booted. I’ll hoist a glass for your demise here @ TP, just like I will for good ole Tom DeLay(rebulithug extrordinaire).
April 4th, 2006 at 1:32 pm#59 - You may not have done the math but according to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International it is estimated that Saddam was killing between 75 to 125 people per day for 22 years.

Which means we can go ahead and put Miss McKinney in jail.
Comment by Ben
You have an interesting sense of justice. If someone kills fewer people than the person that proceeded them, then in your mind they are not a murderer, but instead some sort of hero.
I guess in your mind, I would be a hero too if I killed only hundreds of Christians a week instead of the thousands that were killed by the Roman Empire.
Doesn’t seem right to me - but okay… if you insist.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:33 pm#90 - guess there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - first Delay, next Santorum….
April 4th, 2006 at 1:33 pmAgain, if she did anything illegal, arrest her and shut the fuck up.
Comment by Strawberrybitch — April 4, 2006 @ 1:24 pm
Then he’ll have NOTHING to whine about. And we know how much the neocons love to whine.
If this (McKinney) is the best they can do, in the face of corruption, war for oil, constitution shredding and chaos, they really are on the way out.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:34 pm(Jesus never spoke about gays, after all, he spent most of his time hanging out with 12 other men - hummm).
Comment by cats are flyfishn — April 4, 2006 @ 1:26 pm
Excellent point! Just as he never spoke about abortion…
April 4th, 2006 at 1:36 pmLiberal Media my a@@! First, Delay blames the LIBERAL media for HIS ILLEGAL actions, well friends, you know the Rpugs have run out of options when they start blaming all their woes on the media - who by the way is no where near LIBERAL and hasn’t been for over 8 years! What goes around comes around.
Good luck going after The Duke of Earle. Ronnie has a good reputation and it will be tough to stop him from doing his work. Delay’s just looking for someone else to blame.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:38 pmdelay moving over to k street! shit?! that whole system is about crooked politicians, retardicans and dumbocrats alike! it is blatant croonyism and a slap in the face of democracy. how can we continue to allow the corporations to sit on the committees that regulate them?!?!? the secrecy of this administration is going to push us futher into a fascists state. everyone like gated communities?
April 4th, 2006 at 1:41 pmThe Republicans are like little children - always pointing their fingers at someone else. The Republicans are like out of control teenages - spending money they don’t have. The Republicans are like common criminals - breaking laws and then screaming not guilty in court.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:41 pm#93 - My point was that Saddam was a killing machine. You throw out a number of 100,000. Some say the number is only 30,000. Who knows. I wish there wasn’t anybody dying like this period. However, I think that the policy of meeting these states of terrorism or supported terrorism with force is the proper course. I think it will ultimately result in a lower loss of life over the long run. I assume that you disagree by your disdain for this administration. So I guess we disagree. When this country disagrees with this policy they will vote for change. If however they concur they will continue to vote in the manner that they did in 04.

Kill one and they will act like it’s the end of the world, demand your death without trial by some slow and painful process. Kill anyone else, and they’ll be cheering you on. Crazy.

Comment by Ben — April 4, 2006 @ 1:44 pm
Well, if you knew anything about Hebrew, you’d know that it’s actually ‘Thou shall not murder”. Killing is a necessary part of survival, as one must kill to eat. Also, through the Bible, killing humans is acceptable in certain context - such as in Genesis when it condones killing a man who has already killed another man first. Plus, the Bible specifically says that life is not life until it has the breath of God breathed into it at BIRTH. Hence, no Biblical references to abortion being ‘evil’, because life does not being until birth. Clear?
April 4th, 2006 at 1:49 pmActually, ben, Jesus never said “thou shalt not kill”. That statement came from Moses who was way before the time of Jesus.
April 4th, 2006 at 1:49 pm#104 - you’re damm right it’s Bill Clinton’s fault. Isn’t it always? (sarcasm)
April 4th, 2006 at 1:51 pmthe holy scriptures, ben (and the rest of you silly fundies), supports the notion that you are imbued with a living soul when you draw your first breath. enough with the abortion debate already - it is the biggest red-herring ever foisted on the simple faithful folk of our land, and has been the wool over your eyes way too long - you are taking a savage screwing from the people who have exhorted you to that cause, and you don’t even know it’s happening to you. your grandchildren, who will work as slaves for the kings of old, will thank you for your witless determination.

And yet the US sponsored Al Queda in the 1980s during the Afghan conflict. And we’ve sponsored other terrorist organizations around the world who were fight ‘commies’. By your description we should be meeting our own ’state of terrorism’, since we have in fact supported terrorism often in our foreign policy. But then, those ‘facts’ must be inconvenient for a naive and stupid person such as yourself.

April 4th, 2006 at 2:09 pmBen the point of my post is that you can not compare isolate dincidents with patterns of behavior. And what we have with Delay, Abrahamoff, the whole of Ohio’s Republican Party, Cunnignham etc… ad nauseum is a pattern of behavior very similar to that of organized crime. Trying to turn the attnetion from a well entrenched criminal enterprised to an isolated incident is insulting to all. DeLay is a far bigger threat to America with his corruption than McKinney is with her attitude and to compare the two is to compare apples and steel rebar…i.e. the two have nothing in common.
Though I do give you and abortion boy credit for being persistent in your efforts to change the topic in spite of the fact that you are wrong to change the topic on an issue that if it is allowed to fade from the public eye could do more to destroy our way of government than anything OBL could ever come up with.
April 4th, 2006 at 2:12 pmPoor Tom, he the victimof of his own stupidity. Money na power always corrupt.

As psychologists like to point out - you can only see yourself. And boy, do you prove that to be true. And as usual, all ‘personal’ attack, but no defense for the support of terrorism by republican officials. No surprise, the truth is always the enemy of a cowardly pansy like yourself.

April 4th, 2006 at 2:25 pm#120 - Mark I disagree with you bigtime about the OBL effects on this country. This war is not about people dying but it it is about be people being afraid of dying. People like OBL could easily change the way Americans live. We thrive on entertainment and sports and they are two of our largest commodities. The day that Americans stop engaging in those activities out of fear that a suicide bomber may be in their midst is the beginning of the end. I don’t think you will have to worry about the Tom Delay story fading. You have a very accommodating media to insure that. I don’t equate the seriousness of the Delay allegations to that of McKinney’s. However, the fact that both think they are above the law is similar.
April 4th, 2006 at 2:25 pm“I don’t equate the seriousness of the Delay allegations to that of McKinney’s. However, the fact that both think they are above the law is similar. Comment by BenDover”
I didn’t realize it had become illegal to single out Democrats and harrass them? McKinney is a well known member of Congress, and she was where she was supposed to be - in otherwords LEGALLY THERE. Whereas Delay is guilty of corruption - and that’s above the law.
I guess pansies like yourself will try to find any excuse to not feel bad about the crimes of your ‘party’ - no surprise. You’re such a loser wimp.
April 4th, 2006 at 2:32 pmHey Ryan if an American does not vote does that mean they did not want Bush? You are the one who is stupid, but you already knew that.

Hey Ben, you claimed that if american wanted a change, they’d vote for one - but that implies they wanted Bush in the first place. He lost the popular vote. Don’t blame me because you’re too stupid to see the obvious, blame your momma and that dock worker.
April 4th, 2006 at 2:35 pmThe arrogance and corrupt nature of Delay just cannot be contained and leaks out any time he is in front of a reporter or camera. Imagine if the Legislature took the approach Delay says will happen, any public official that made any partisan member of the legislature unhappy could be enough to have his job ended and find himself/herself unemployed. Guess the rule of law is too much for Delay to bear. However we already knew that when Delay began attacking all judges as being activists if they did not agree with his skewed view of the world.

Pull your head out of the sand. We live in a country that is already afraid of the boogeyman. The media makes it that way. It’s why you’re more afraid of a terrorist attack (1 in 2 million for a US citizen being attacked in the US) than being killed by heart disease, second hand smoke, or diabetes (1 in 30). Osama doesn’t have the ability to make you afraid. Only you do.
And, for the record, sports in not a main source of revenue in this country. You might wanna do some research before hitting the send button.

Always ‘taking one for the team’ aren’t you. You made the argument that we were taking down ‘terrorist supporting states’, yet I pointed out that we had funded and helped created Al Queda - making us a terrorist state by your definition.
As for the name calling, well, in your case it’s just totally appropriate - you’re such a passive recipient of all things/abuses republican, how can I not.
As for ’shallow arguments’, you should be an ‘expert’ on that straw(wo)man.
Now when you can stay on the topic of Ronnie Earle, or Tom Delay, I’ll stop calling you a pansy republican whipping boy - which you are - until then, be a big boy and take your medicine, and stop being such a weak pansy.
April 4th, 2006 at 2:42 pmHold on, folks! Don’t you see what’s happening? George Bush et al has split our country right down the middle. Democrats and Republicans used to squabble about important political and social issues. Now we squabble about who’s more guilty/corrupt, some woman you never heard of, or a president who is ripe for war crimes. In spite of our politics, we are all AMERICANS, and in that arena, our focus should be on what’s good for America. Remember, “A nation divided against itself will not stand.” And as long as corruption is rampant by either party in our government, it will NEVER be good for America. We are a national of individuals, but nevertheless, at the end of the day, we are a nation!

Who are you? Having to use multiple identities? That’s just pathetic.
I didn’t say sports isn’t a source of revenue. I just said it isn’t a major one. In case you forgot - we feed the world, which is over shadowed by the fact that we make serious money off selling it guns and bombs.
But, way to try to divert the argument from the point you made, which is that Osama could ruin our lives. You didn’t address that, because you can’t. Figures. Just projecting your hostility and fear on to us. Well, it won’t work. We see through your smoke and mirrors. And that’s what scares you the most.

Therefore Democrats are against civil rights. I am not stupid like you making these kind of dumbass arguments when I know they are not the same thing.

I agree,, as do most of us progressives here. The problem is that the Right doesn’t want unity.

Until they can respect an individual’s right to be him or herself, we’re going to be arguing over a whole lot more. Unfortunately.

And I would argue that many of the Democratic Party were against civil rights, and that it was not a pure entity in the matter. Yet this is EXACTLY the kind of black and white painting you provide in your naive and overly simplistic view of the world.
“I am not stupid like you making these kind of dumbass arguments when I know they are not the same thing. BenDover”
Sure they are. Your claim about ‘terrorism’ is exactly like your claim about the Democrats. The problem is you apply it entirely one sided - in this case you want to stamp out terrorism in other countries, while forgetting that one of the Pentagon plans for dealing with Iran is to use ‘terrorism’ to destablize it.

April 4th, 2006 at 3:08 pmyou folks are gonna blast me - and i sure hate to feed a troll -but ben has a point: mckinney was wrong to thump the cop. was the cop racist? sexist? harrassing her as part of a larger program of repug-friendly capitol security police policy? perhaps, and perhaps all three. but unless your life is in immediate danger from the officer, ANY lawyer will tell you - don’t hit the cop. judges AND juries tend not to care about any circumstances leading up to that point… you hit the cop, you screwed the pooch. they ain’t listening. i don’t care WHO she is, she should have stopped, dressed down the officer RESPECTFULLY but forcefully, and THEN gone to the press with a story of systemic harrassment (which DOES exist against her). the fact that she IS a member of the government, and thus shouldn’t have to stop, should NOT have been brought up; the old ‘do you know WHO I AM?’ crap is fine for yr garden-variety repug scum, ie delay, cheney, etc. it is beneath ‘our side.’ just because ‘their side’ gets away with shit, does it make it right for US?
mckinney’s transgression PALES in comprison to those of the religious dictatorship running this country… but saying she was in the right doesn’t make it so. do we believe bush when he says iraq is goin’ heckovajob, buddy? the proper way to DEFUSE this argument is to say: ’she was wrong to hit the officer. no-one is above the law, we can ALL agree… now, let me read you the names of some -REPUBLICANS- who think themselves too important to follow the law…………..

In 230 years it hasn’t happened. You can ‘what if’ yourself back into your bomb shelter all day long. It doesn’t change the fact that Osama is not that powerful. Most Muslims consider him a dangerous radical who perverts their religion. Much like Hitler perverted Christianity to kill those millions of people.
Since many Americans have never experienced this type of violence that might be a reasonable expectation. If Americans stop engaging in these type of activities then then the jobs that make these events happen may go away.

You under estimate those industries survival skills. If sports were to disappear tommorrow, they’d market something else. Besides, more people are walking billboards for trendy clothing lines than sports teams.
And the construction industry is a fraction of the pie. There are only a few architecture firms that design stadiums, because they are no where near in demand as say - office buildings, houses, schools, mega churches, and - mega malls!
You should think this stuff through before you type. It’s like shooting fish in a drinking glass.

And the construction industry is a fraction of the pie. There are only a few architecture firms that design stadiums, because they are no where near in demand as say - office buildings, houses, schools, mega churches, and - mega malls!
Now all of sudden what was not a major economic source of revenue has turned into the argument that our economy would do just fine without sports because we would find something else to do.
Acknowledging that you were wrong and then making excuses for it. You are really a card.

Tom is going to be so busy trying to find the cash to pay his attorneys…none will find its way to other Texas repugs.
I have a question…why are republicans so ugly? They all look constipated or like they just sucked a lemon? Could it be God paying them back for all of their evil?
