C-SPAN wants to know if you support Tom Delay
This isn't about Tom Delay only. It's about fairness and accountability and justice. I can't call in from where I am. Can someone do this?

3. They are calling in and supporting him and
Edited on Tue Mar-15-05 12:11 PM by Skidmore
going on about how low and power hungry Dems are. Never mind that what this man has been involved in is criminal. One woman is just saying how Dems want to "kick out a duly elected man" to get power back. Anyone remember Clinton.

5. I tried to get in but couldn't
I really think the Republicans are going to be the ones to take Delay down. There's not one state that has any representation in the House. Tom Delay controls all of them and I do believe they are going to eventually take him down. The Democrats don't have the power to do it and I'm not sure if they would anyway.

6. Many Republicans are tired of DeLay bullying them
But they're too scared to stand up to him. I think the anti-DeLay Republicans ought to band together and call for his head on a silver platter (figuratively). Yes, there is strength in numbers.

8. Not sure, but I think this show is a re-airing from this morning
I watched C-Span this morning and they asked the question if you supported DeLay. Also, had WP reporter, David Allen, talking about it. He was cheerleading for DeLay and was called on it by many callers.

10. Delay deserves support
Delay deserves support for an independent investigator.

Do I object to the fact that he earned the nickname, "Hammer", because he grabbed control of his party's caucus? No. It's HOW he did it that bothers me. Threats of career ruin, intimidation and outright bribery.
The more absolute his power, the more absolute he becomes corrupted.

Don't even get me started on his involvement with the Texas state legislature re-districting process. The stink there is worse than ten fishheads in a week-old newspaper at the bottom of a dumpster.

The guy is a creep, one step removed from a cockroach, who has coursened the highest ideals of politics into a vulture's frenzy for the lowest bowels.

12. DeLay
DeLay is a criminal. I would support a jail term for him.

Video - CNN: Delay losing Republican support over ethics - 3/15
They call the piece "Delay Fires Back" but it looks like he is doing little firing and a lot of hiding.
