If he is guilty who cares. It doesn’t shred conservative ideas/solutions/policies, etc.

The problem with us guys (as you say) is we hang on to the knowlege that liberals are great with false allegations/accusations which extend to policy/budget/solutions/ideas. You will mischaracterize anything instead of listening to what we actually believe about our own ideas/solutions/policy. Why is that? Thriving on misinformation isn’t thriving at all. It’s suffering.

Except when faced with Commies, Arab fascists, Muslims. Oh wait–that’s not appeasement, that’s alliance.

The left is not ever going to love you, so stop trying to “reach out” to them. Just deal with the fact that they need to be defeated.
The MSM is never going to love you, see above
You are the majority party. Act like it:
Balance the freaking budget
Nominate judges that uphold the Constitution instead of rewriting it
Tell your liberal collegues (within the party) to tow the line or risk getting shutout of funds and support for reelection
Some how, some way, get Condolezza Rice on the ticket for ‘08

“Talk about willful blindness. ”

The only “willfull blindness” I see here is your own. I’ve read and heard countless conservatives say that if Delay has done something wrong he should pay the price.

As far as your comments about the land deal being investigated during Clinton’s term, that was just one of MANY scandals that plagued the Clinton administration (one which even some of my liberal friends say Hillary got away with the farm on) – remember Chinagate, for example? Probably the worst scandal of the lot, considering how it was basically a sellout to the Chinese in order to obtain campaign contributions.

Mike Malloy of Air America verbally attacked Blogs for Bush writer Mark Noonan for a piece that Noonan wrote about the DeLay indictment. Noonan wrote that the left has moved away from politics where parties argued over items and listened to the voter…

For the sake of looking at this from a legal standapoint:

Let’s assume that all of the facts asserted in the indictment are true.

Do all of you here, and elsewhere, believe that if money was donated by a corporation to a national polictical committee that then turned around and “donated” the exact same amounts to several state legislators’ campaigns, in order to avoid the direct contribution by such corporation to such legislators’ campaigns (which is illegal under Texas law), that no crime would have been committed? Furthermore, does everyone here understand what a conspiracy legally entails: One must prove the acts were committed by one of the co-conspirators and that there was knowledge or some agreement among the co-conspirators.

At least this prosecutor did not spend millions of dollars of tax payer money investigating a nickel and dime failed land deal which occurred years before the target held a federal position only to determine that there was not a crime. Remember that old saying about glass houses.

But I understand that if you have a true believer, his sins are automatically forgiven (in fact there is the concerted effort to spin those sins as not really being sins at all, e.g. the Vicar of Voice, Mr. Limbaugh).

But is it really worth the shared stench and dirty hands to support Mr. Delay, not because of this indictment but because he has repeatedly been the subject of nefarioius tactics that even the full congress has seen fit to sanction.

Talk about willful blindness.

He’s performing for the film crew making a movie of his “heroic” fight against the “eeevil” Tom DeLay. I wonder if it’ll end in a climactic sword-fight in the courtroom?

For a long time I stuck up for the guy. Six months ago when Pelosi and Reid were piling on the accusations, it irked the hell out of me because unlike Pelosi, DeLay has never been fined by the FEC for misusing funds – something Pelosi did during her election bid. Even though there were rampant suspicions and rumors being spread by the Dems about all of DeLays supposed evils, the guy was never actually nailed cold.

I mean Harry Reid is one to point the finger! In Nevada he was responsible for getting legislation passed that changed land boundaries and his family and associates cashed in big time. Course Harry claims it was all for the environment – yeah right.

Meantime I guess, it’s wait and see time as far as DeLay is concerned.

And Rush said today that five grand juries refused to indict before the sixth did.

And we should believe everything Rush says!
