June 15, 2004GOP SOBs?By Karl-Thomas MusselmanIf one is to believe Drudge...
I'm glad to see that Mr. Man on Dog Santorum is heading this one up. Of course it's going to fail because the Republicans won't even have 50 votes for it, far short of the 67 needed. There is a breakdown over at dKos that was done when it first came up. This is more evidence that the Republicans are grasping at straws to try to pull out wins in the White House AND Senate AND House this fall. The real battle lies on the State level with these amendments, not in DC. Posted by Karl-Thomas Musselman at June 15, 2004 06:18 PM | TrackBack

Speaking of GOP SOBs: Attacking the Attack Dog Finally, it is official. I hope they take him down hard, especially after the role he played in the re-redistricting of Texas and the absurd manhunt for the Killer D's:
Rep. Chris Bell of Texas accused DeLay of soliciting campaign donations in return for legislative favors and using a political action committee to launder illegal contributions. In what DeLay dismissed as a rehash of unsubstantiated and old newspaper clippings, Bell also charged that he had improperly used a federal agency to track down Texas Democratic legislators in a partisan battle last year. "It is my opinion that Mr. DeLay is the most corrupt politician in America today," Bell told a news conference.
· Improperly accepted campaign contributions from Kansas-based Westar Energy Corp. in exchange for help securing a special exemption from federal regulation. · Funneled illegal corporate contributions, including from Westar and others, through the Texans for a Republican Majority political action committee to GOP candidates for the Texas House. · Solicited the assistance of the Federal Aviation Administration to track more than 50 Texas Democratic lawmakers who fled from Austin to Ardmore, Okla., in 2003. Their exodus denied the state House a quorum and temporarily stalled work on the DeLay-backed redistricting program. Of course, this will result in a tit-for-tat filing against some Democrats. The war has begun. Posted by: WhoMe? at June 15, 2004 11:08 PMIf the constitutional amendment thingy is really true, Kerry could plan to announce his running mate just a few hours later. That could at least cut very short the amendment's time as the top news story of the day. Maybe I am naive or just cynical, but I cannot imagine how the House ethics committee, which is firmly controlled by DeLay and his buds, will lift a finger to investigate this complaint. The rules just don't apply to DeLay - an attitude shared by most of the self-righteous and arrogant jerks of the Religious Right. I'd say an indictment in Travis County is much more likely (or perhaps hopeful.) Posted by: Dennis at June 16, 2004 09:06 AM
