World Net Daily has a very negative opinion piece on Tom Delay !!

[Robbien]

Opinion by Bill Press

<snip>

The lesson is clear: What was gleefully undertaken as a big political plus for the Republican Party has already turned into a net political loss. Republicans should have known better. They should have realized that the vast majority of Americans, Republicans and Democrats alike, did not identify with the extreme religious wackos camped out in front of Terri Schiavo's hospice.

<snip>

DeLay's got it backward. It's not the judges who are out of control. It's the House majority leader. First, DeLay forced federal judges to take up the Terri Schiavo case. Now he's waging war on them because, after they considered all the evidence, they didn't make the decision he demanded.

It's not judges who thumbed their noses at Congress. It's Congress who thumbed their noses at the Constitution. Did anybody tell DeLay and company that judges don't have to do what Congress tells them? Did they ever hear of the separation of powers? We haven't seen such arrogance since the days of Newt Gingrich.

Both Vice President Dick Cheney and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist have publicly rejected DeLay's war on judges. But House Republicans seem determined to follow their leader off a cliff. They're making a huge mistake. They should simply admit that the Terri Schiavo intervention was a well-meaning, perhaps, but nevertheless unwise and unconstitutional abuse of power.

The more Republicans beat the Terri Schiavo drum, the greater their attacks on judges, the longer they follow Tom DeLay, the more they pander to the religious right – the more the Republican Party will be seen as nothing but a subsidiary of the Christian Coalition. God save America.

1. Bill Press writes for WND?

:wtf:

[Robbien]

3. Yep, another MSNBC pundit who clearly leans far right since WND

prints his stuff.

[Cocoa]

5. Press leans left

he played opposite Pat Buchanan on some afternoon program that I think is gone now, and he wrote a book called "Bush must go."

[Robbien]

10. Then what's he doing in WND?

Many Freepers brag about writing stories for WND.

Interesting.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Press is from the left, not the right, but the real story here is

that a RW rag will print a scathing left leaning writer's spew du jour. The Powers That Be have pulled the plug and removed the tube from DeLay. They're now just waiting for him to die.

Where are the protestors for THAT act of killing? Who will mourn the passing of the Bugman?

[kenny blankenship]

2. Wow! you can color him

whatever color the color of toast is.

[barbaraann]

4. He's a sacrificial snake.

And he'll probably be replaced by someone far worse.

[Robbien]

6. You cannot get worse than Delay. Of course if he goes

he will be replaced with someone pretty bad, but it is not possible to be any worse than Delay. His swapping an all expense paid weeks vacation in exchange for okaying sweatshops and forced prostitution rings is very bottom of the barrell.

[Zhade]

8. I used to say that about Ashcroft.

NT!

[Toots]

15. Roy Blunt and he is just as bad as Delay...

:shrug: The whole damn party is off the deep end..

[barbaraann]

17. Roy Blunt -- yup, he might be it.

They really seem to need to "shock and awe" intelligent, compassionate people.

[kliljedahl]

7. Wasn't familiar with WND

Seems to be the online political equivalent of the rags you see in the checkout lines. Am I right?

9. SPOILER ALERT!!!

The more Republicans beat the Terri Schiavo drum, the greater their attacks on judges, the longer they follow Tom DeLay, the more they pander to the religious right – the more the Republican Party will be seen as nothing but a subsidiary of the Christian Coalition. God save America.
Cheese it, Bill! YOU know that and WE know that, but we don't want THEM to know that--at least not until they've scared off every moderate who ever voted for Bush!

:headbang:

11. But wait! We LOVE Tom DeLay!

He is proving to be an excellent example of the Repuglican Party. Keep him in! Keep dragging the Repug party down, Hot Tub Tommy! Go Go Go!!!

[borg5575]

13. This doesn't surprise me.

If they finally decide that Delay has become an unacceptable liability, they will cast him over the side and never look back just like they did with Gingrich.

After all, there are plenty of other reactionaries out there who would gladly take Delay's place, and he is in a very safe Republican district so they wouldn't have to worry about losing his seat.

[AlCzervik]

14. oh lord, he's lost WND, whats next, Newsmax jumps ship?

and then Weakly Review?

[snowbear]

16. Bill Press

I don't know why Bill Press is writing for WND either, but = :o = there is NO freakin' way that he leans right... at all!

Nada.. none... zip... zilch --EVER. Not Bill Press.. :hug: no way..

[NightOwwl]

18. Bill Press wrote "Bush Must Go:

The Top 10 Reasons Bush Doesn't Deserve a Second Term"

Amazed that WND has his editorial, because Bill Press :loveya: is not right-wing at all!
