Re: Texas jury convicts Tom DeLay on money laundering charges
So your argument is that Tom DeLay shouldn't be attacked because he's not the only criminal politician in the news? That makes sense. Oh, wait, no, it doesn't make any sense at all.
If you want to elect politicians to a national office and defend them while they accept hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporate lobbyists who are influencing their vote -- once again, in a NATIONAL OFFICE -- that's fine because they will still be held accountable for breaking laws.
But you're telling us that what Tom DeLay did doesn't affect us? The leader of the House of Representatives was corrupt and taking money for corporate lobbyists in exchange for his vote... and that DOESN'T have any effect on us? Bull.
What exactly did DeLay do that affects you and your family compared to what Geithner, Waters, Rangel, Van Jones and others have done? Looks like I am more of a Texan than you are.
