A Texas grand jury today indicted Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) on a criminal count of conspiring with two political associates to violate state campaign finance law, and DeLay announced he would temporarily step down as House majority leader.
According to The Washington Post, the case centers on corporate contributions of about $190,000 that prosecutors allege were essentially laundered by DeLay and his associates through transfers from a federal fund into a state fund.
Now comes the fun part, where DeLay does what Republicans always do, which is blame others - especially liberals or the media - for their own moral failings. Has there ever been a group in politics who takes less personal responsibility and demands less accountability than modern conservatives?
Everyone in Washington has long known DeLay is a sleaze who shakes down corporations and demands that they support his right wing agenda. Now, the rest of the world will see the face of corruption behind the phony "Family Values" agenda. DeLay likes to say he rules through his fundamentalist "worldview". Well, I hope his "worldview" from his prison cell is a brick wall.
Under Newt Gingrich the new Republican majority in 1994 promised to clean up morals and government corruption with its "Contract With America". Well, they've done a fine job. Newt left the House after an affair with a younger woman. And DeLay is stepping aside after an indictment.
The question is, will the Red State suckers continue to vote for a bogus conservative agenda, which is nothing more than a fraud? The Right Wing MO is to talk about morals while picking the pockets of Middle Americans. Ten years after the "Republican Revolution" working class Americans have no money, and it is clear that the leaders they elected have no morals. The rise and fall of Tom DeLay is a cautionary tale of why placing hopes and dreams in the hands of politicians who say they are on God's side is dangerous.
As for Delay? He'll do just fine in prison. There is always a need for exterminators in those rat infested hell holes.

If he does time, I hope his cell-mate is a big gay top named Bubba who has a 10 inch cock as thick as Vin Diesel's biceps!

I'm relishing this, at long last, the house of cards is beginning to fall. Lets hope they can get some dirt on Karl Rove too.
It is about time that Delay gets his! But I won't hold my breath.
Being a Houstonian - although not in Delay's district -- it is utterly disgusting the way some of my fellow Texan's swallow his BS hook line and sinker ... and no matter what he does or how bad the corruption -- they continue to sing his praises and how the "liberals" are out to get him.
Its the same crap with W ... Texans (and btw, I'm a transplant because of work ... 'cause I certainly wouldn't live in Texas by choice) in general have their heads buried in the sand and continue to support and rally around these morons.
