     Let's back up a few years and start with Bush/Cheney. What they did was reprehensible. Not to mention Dead-Eye Dick's antics in Corpus Christi while hunting under the influence – and that's what it was, pure and simple.

   I thought this might be an appropriate illustration for the story.

   DeLay and Rangel are just typical Americans, so don't be too hard on them.

   What most people sense is that Delay is Evil. A vile hate filled spewer of lies and filth.
   People sense that he carried water for any cause that worked against truth justice and the American way. An american way defined by a jury of his peers.
   Naturally people are happy he appears to have been laid low.

   I say Pardon Tommy with a suspended sentence and 3 year probation. So he funneled a few bucks for his party. Big deal. It's not like he stole anything.

   Just another chapter in the continuing story about our "elected children". We don't like the democrates so we elected the republicans, WHOOPS! They do the same thing. ALL those "newbies" who just got elected will be taken to the back rooms and "indroctrinated" by the old geezers how just how things really work & that will be the end of that! SO, you tell me how we change things and get people into office that actually care about working for the American People and not just working on how they can get rich?

   This is how.
   More hardship will be required so that folks come to their senses.
   Not going to happen soon because the bubble is being reinflated as we speek.
   The big dog is being given a new long chain to run toward the end of at full speed.
   Only when the bitter end is reached this time will the tenor and tone change in the back room.

    Tom DeLay did nothing illegal. This is an abuse of power by a rogue Democrat prosector appointed by Bill Clinton who is attempting to the politics of personal destruction to destroy our Republican leadership. It is a miscarriage of justice and will be reversed on appeal.

    Typical American conservatives. I read some comments here from some obvious republicans and it makes me sick as a republican myself. A crime is a crime. Why don't you guys just shut it and let jsutice be served. If you did the same crime, where do you think you will be now. So why should it be different with Tom D. As a republican I hope that justice comes down hard on all the Republican political crooks and let us purify this party and actually make it a party for the people and not the corporate and well to do. It is time you all republicans wake up and start getting behind true justice.

    A lot of you repugs think repugs (once at least) get punished for their political crimes while dems walk. Here in Georgia, we elected a repug Congressional crook (Deal left the day charges would have been announced) for our next Governor.

    Maybe, with the condition our current repug Governor is leaving Georgia, that is punishment.
