Republicans Rally to Support DeLay


(AP) U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay was likened to Stonewall Jackson, Lyndon Baines Johnson and a courageous World War I officer Thursday as members of the Texas Republican congressional delegation joined the former House majority leader to endorse his re-election.

The unusual display of GOP solidarity was remarkable for DeLay, who is aggressively campaigning for re-election to the seat he has held comfortably for 22 years. This year he faces a contested primary March 7, and if he wins, a credible candidate in Democrat Nick Lampson in November.

"He's got a contested primary; that's why we're here," said U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis.

DeLay, R-Sugar Land, resigned his leadership post as he became embroiled in an ethics scandal involving lobbyist Jack Abramoff and faces trial later this year on felony money-laundering charges.

4. They're going to be presented with the challenge of having to choose

between _{Tom Delay} and _{George Bush} one day, since _Delay has made a public stand AGAINST _Bush's bright ports idea. _Bush won't be likely to overlook that, and there will be a parting of the ways.



I wish they were waving
"byebye" to the country.

5. I love it... Ms. DeLay has an invisible purse on her left arm...

What a woman

6. Bawhahaha! A courageous World War I officer?

What!?! No one could find out what this guys name is? How lazy can you get? This is like when Moon got crowned our New Jesus in Congress and then all the congress pigs forgot why they were there. Repukes... :puke:

7. Idiots. Let them waste their money. Was Stonewall Jackson a crook too?

[wordpix2]

8. how low can these greedy repigs stoop in their filth & corruption?

[depakid]

11. Joe Barton

That corrupt piece of trash need to be next in line.

Sure would be nice if Texas would just succeed and leave the rest of the country out of ther collective pathologies.

13. I would agree, but don't feel like moving.

But ya, wtf is up with my state producing such exceptional political weasels?

14. Stonewall Jackson died when doing his own scouting..

Too many high ranking officers leave scouting and other dangerous work to those without rank. Jackson believed he owed it to the rank-and-file soldiers, willing to sacrifice their lives for victory, to insure that sacrifice was not wasted. As a result, he died while scouting one night during the battle of Chancellorsville. But Tom Delay wouldn't risk his life to fight in Vietnam, he would never willingly sacrifice more personal income to fund our soldiers fighting his losing war in Iraq.

But John Wilkes Booth and Tom Delay are alike, both were vengeful bloodsucking backstabbers.

15. i really don't understand why he's running at all, seems pointless

and why anyone would risk their own political career by supporting him?

16. Of Course If DeLay Goes Down, The Writing Is On Their Walls, Too n/t

17. HERE THEY ARE------ RUNNING TO HIS AID

18. Re: Likened to a WWI officer..

U.S. Rep. John Carter, who represents the Central Texas Hill Country, likened DeLay to a World War I lieutenant who led his men out of a trench into battle and is "willing to have a target on front and back saying, 'shoot me first.'"

Wasn't this how a lot of troops in WWI DIED? What makes them think Tom Delay will stand up for them once the fecal matter REALLY hits the rotating oscillator (like when evidence of corruption begins to be presented in court)?

19. I guess my maternal grandfather must have lost his target.

He served in the Army during WWI.
