Tom Delay is one of the biggest congressional crooks in history. This is why he got involved in the Terri Schiavo as a good Christian. Earl I'm not sure that Tom is actually a crook. Although there are a few problems with a children's charity he started. I suspect that he is simply a bit power mad. Happens to many politicians of all persuasions. Some day his poor constituents will catch up with him and his tendency to interfere with their lives. |

I am fortunate to live in Illinois - both of our Senators are liberal Dems, as is my Representative...and my Governor and Mayor and local Alderman... If I were living in some pesthole like Tejas I'd probably consider killing myself what with jerks like Delay around... -- Best Greg |

The Roach Hunter doesn't cause much trouble for the district he represents. Aside from Delaying rail; transit for a decade. I've survived living in districts represented by John Birch society members in California & Ohio. I've survived being represented by Ron Paul who isn't consistent enough to describe. And I've survived Sheila Jackson Lee. Living near and working in the Roach Hunter's district won't get to me. Actually, living in John Culbertson's district is bad enough. |

She would take exception to the thought that DeLay is your garden variety politician. I suggest: http://www.dfw.com/mld/startelegram/...s/11179571.htm We should remember Tom's earlier forays into the jungle of congressional ethics. In 1998, he co-sponsored, with John Doolittle (R-CA) a bill that would have permitted continued evasion of the election laws by allowing unlimited and undisclosed funds to be used for "issue ads" in campaigns. Ready for the punch line? It was called the DeLay-Dolittle amendment. Tom |
