As the article demonstrates, there are a few liberals in Texas.
Is there a season on them?
We keep mostly hid, eschewing bumper stickers and public displays.
In '04, i saw a wonderful bumper sticker:
Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing its idiot.
Yes, I see that bumper sticker occasionally. Yesterday I saw one that was a W with a slash thru it. Of course, I see plain W ones all the time.
I never saw the DeLay ad. Did you edgar?
So far, the channels I watch have not had the courage to air them. I wonder if they can be seen anywhere online?

ANNOUNCER: That he received tens of thousands in campaign contributions from indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates.
ONSCREEN: He visited cliff-top Caribbean resorts, golf courses designed by PGA champions and four-star restaurants _ all courtesy of donors who bankrolled his political money empire.- Associated Press, 12/20/05 floats out of black screen towards viewer.
ANNOUNCER: That he took trips all over the world at his donors' expense.
ONSCREEN: Russians contributed $1 million to the group in 1998 specifically to influence Delay's vote on legislation. - Washington Post, 12/28/05 black screen.
ANNOUNCER: That a group related to Delay received $1 million dollars from Russian tycoons to allegedly influence his vote.

ONSCREEN: Received at least $57,000 in political contributions from Abramoff, his lobbying associates or his tribal clients notice they can't pin down who or how much. $57,000 is chump change. That's why Hillary has been spared my wrath in this matter. I believe she has accepted similar amounts of money from the same people. between 2001 and 2004. - Associated Press, 01/05/06 floats out of black screen towards viewer.

ANNOUNCER: That he took trips all over the world at his donors' expense.
ONSCREEN: Russians contributed $1 million to the group in 1998 specifically to influence Delay's vote on legislation. - Washington Post, 12/28/05 black screen.
ANNOUNCER: That a group related to Delay received $1 million dollars from Russian tycoons to allegedly influence his vote. I wonder if they were successful or if Delay just took their money and gave them the finger. it's neat how you can throw the word allegedly in and that makes everything ok. Al Gore allegedly molested his daughter until she was 17.

Hate ads... How wonderfully American. I hope he answers these allegations.
Over here, the tabloids would have made mincemeat of him years ago.....
Unfortunately, they made them water the ad down before they would accept it. The original was more specific in its details.
