More trouble for DeLay

"The other guy did it, too" is neither a valid defense nor a valid argument.

Maybe if the Democrats were willing to go after Pelosi for the same thing.

But if they expect to give Pelosi a pass while lynching DeLay, I say it is a valid defense and a valid argument.

(This presumes that DeLay even did anything wrong. Given DNC abuses with ethics charges, it is a safe bet that DeLay is clean.)

What tremendous loss of ground?

The president was already Republican; the supreme court hasn't changed; the Republicans picked up several congressmen, enough for a majority, but that had more to do with redistricting in Texas than it did with people getting voted out. Democrats actually picked up seats in many Western states and I believe there was a net increase in Democratic Governors, though I'm not sure.

What exactly was the massive loss of ground?

Um, I guess three rebukes from your fellow Republicans means doing nothing wrong in oralloy's world.

This seems to be a classic case of what Jeff Gannon described as being "divorced from reality."

And of course Newt was never found to have violated any ethics rules. ROFLMBO

Lets see what the House says
"...on Jan. 21, 1997 the full House voted 395-28 to approve the House ethics committee's punishment of a reprimand plus a $300,000 penalty."

Wake up and deal with real facts oralloy.

Delay went on a trip funded by a registered lobbyist.

A Pelosi staffer went on a trip from the same lobbyist.

I fail to see how a CONGRESSMAN is the SAME as a staffer. Staff can be fired. Congressmen require investigations.

I think a more pertinent question right now is whether you're willing or not to see a shrink regarding those delusional fantasies of yours...

I'll call for firing Pelosi's staffer when you call for an investigtion of Delay.

Where do you live, oralloy? I can make a few calls and find a good doctor in your area.
