but it's a democratic conspiracy and they're wasting taxpayer dollars on this witch hunt!
the republicans had no problem spending taxpayer dollars chasing after whitewater. hmmmm.
As a contributer to DeLay's reelection campaign fund (ha!), I've just recieved this letter personally from his email service. It's quite revealing 
"A Message from House Majority Leader Tom DeLay"
Dear Valued Friend,I want to personally thank you for all your support in the wake of the recent news of my “indictment” on conspiracy charges. I assure you that I and my wife Nancy, our children George Walker and Laura, and of course our rottweiler “Gipper”, have gained much pleasure and comfort from your many messages of love and kindness.As I have stated before, the charges brought against me are unfounded. I have violated no law, no regulation, no rule of the House. I have done nothing unlawful, unethical or, I might add, unprecedented. I simply solicited some of my more “financially sound” friends for their generous donations to my campaign, a practice that is common among politicians seeking to remain in office. And let me assure you, so long as the sun sets in Texas, I will seek to remain in office. And I will need money to do so.My associates, John Colyandro and Jim Ellis, are likewise free of any wrongdoing. Friends, we simply wanted to ensure that you, the humble taxpayer, know where we stand on the erroneous charges brought against me not only this year but also the previous one.First off, 2004 was a busy year for the party, as you well know. We had that little scare in Texas when the Democrats turned chicken and left before we could vote on a referendum to change the voting districts. Now, they said it was to ensure a Republican majority by redrawing the district lines to our favor. That is pure and simple nonsense. Everyone already knows that Texas votes Republican already. We simply wanted to make sure that it was less of an uncertainty come Election Day which party would win. I may have asked the FAA to “monitor” where these yellow so-called “Texans” ran off to, but that was just to ensure that they arrived at their destinations safely and with little ability to get back. There’s nothing “wrong” or “illegal” about that.We’re charged with supposedly “conspiring to make political contributions” from private corporations to state candidates. Now there is no grain of truth to that, my friend. I simply told my many wealthy CEO pals that they might want to share a little of their profits with my party’s representatives and make sure that it didn’t violate Texas law. Now, what they did with that money once they got it, that’s not your concern, friend. Can’t you see the partisan nature of this attack?Oh, and I suppose you’ve heard about those rounds of golf I played in Scotland, with Jack Abramhoff, who is supposedly a “lobbyist”. I don’t know much about what “lobbyists” do, my friend, but if they provide a man with the once-in-a-lifetime chance to play golf on the fields where it began, with the promise of a small, miniscule contribution to their cause afterwards and not reporting said trips to the House Ethics Committee, is it really a “crime”? I can’t see where it is, and I'm a lawyer. I would know.In truth, dear valued constituent, I think it’s time you ask yourself why I’m so obviously being persecuted like this. I think we both know the answer to that; my enemies in the House and Senate are trying to get to me because I can’t be bought by their political operatives. They don’t have enough money to buy off Tom DeLay. Only the GOP does.I have regrettably had to step down from my position as Majority Leader for the time being, until I’m sure the time comes when these charges are dismissed as the unwarranted attacks that they are. My inquisitor, Mr. Ronnie Earle, is simply a liberal version of me. He takes just as much money as I have…of course, I did it legally, and not at the expense of you, dear friend. I am House Majority leader, after all. You’d expect me to have some integrity.And so, in closing, I again offer my thanks for your support, and when my name is finally cleared and all the charges are dropped, I look forward to returning to my position. And when I do, I will be more powerful than ever before, thanks to the new titanium-encased and bullet-proof suit with ground-to-air missiles that my illegal funds were saved up for. Let’s see them take down…MEGA-DELAY!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!Ahem, I apologize. It’s been a stressful time for me. You'll understand if I ask you to ignore that last statement.Sincerely, Tom DeLay,House Majority Leader(No Matter What the Ethics Committee Says)PS – I know where the bodies are buried. ‘Nuff said.
I seem to remember that you guys had Karl Rove dead and burried a few months ago..........
But, y'all can always hope.

kARL ROVE lucked out by the distraction of the supreme court nomination and Katrina. He can still report for duty for the most corrupted admistration since St.Nixon.

so you're saying that if one has unscrupulous ethics, sabotages elections (rove) and accepts inappropriate campaign funds (delay)...it's OK as long as one doesn't get caught or if the perpetrator of said deeds is 'on our side'?
and this is coming from a party that claims to be pro-family? doesn't sound very 'pro-family' to me.

It is pro-family, if your family is the Corleones
Yeah, I coulda gone with "Sopranos", but I figured I'd be old-school in calling the GOP a Mafia outfit. Sue me :p

It's also not very pro-family to toss around accusations like so much fact. Delay probably isn't the cleanest guy. But I don't and you don't know what the facts are yet. Claiming that Karl Rove "sabotages" elections sounds like something you find on the DU forum. You're better than that, AW.
And while we're talking about what party is "pro-family" or does the right thing, tell me the last time the Democrat party took action against one of it's own. Give me one example. Give me one example of what happened to Trent Lott. Give me one example of what happened to Rep. Bob Livingston.

claiming? it's no secret, tex. rove called the police in when he was campaign manager for bill clements in texas and accused the democrats of bugging his office. it turns out he bugged his own office.
it's also no secret that while working as an intern in washington he stole letterhead from a democratic contender and typed up a letter for a gathering that promised 'food, beer and women.' he then passed these out to homeless people around washington, DC. the democrat lost and rove became head of the college republicans at his school.
rove also devised a telephone poll in south carolina in 2000 during which pollsters called white south carolinians and asked if they would be less likely to vote for john mccain if they knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child (he hadn't, although he does have an adopted daughter from south asia).
rove admits to these acts. and even suggests that others use simiar tactics in electioneering. these are facts, tex, not 'tossing around allegations.'
and i have no idea what the DU forum is, by the way.
Good deal. Fucking crooks need to be arrested.
Did not Casper weinberger do time?
You all forgot about Burt Lance.
