WASHINGTON Apr 6, 2005 — House Republicans coupled expressions of concern with a public show of support for Rep. Tom DeLay on Wednesday as the embattled majority leader brushed aside fresh questions about his record.

Venting anger over attacks against DeLay and other targets, some members of the GOP rank and file criticized Democrats in unusually sharp terms. One, Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, was quoted by fellow Republicans at a closed-door meeting as calling the head of the House Democratic campaign committee a snake.

1. Good. I hope they stick up for him

and he takes them all with him when he finally goes down. The more they support him the worse they look, and with any luck at all the whole GOP will be tarred with the same brush.

Meanwhile... I'm just gonna sit back... :popcorn:

2. Good news!

I want to see every Republican supporting the most corrupt politician to ever shame the halls of Congress. No surprise here. These are the same crew who have been selling out this country the past 10 years or so.

Take my advice....hang with Tom. Birds of the same feather should stay flocked togather.
