Democrats: GOP abusing power for DeLay

[UCLA Dem]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Top Democrats assailed House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on Sunday over ethical questions that have put him at the center of a political firestorm, while Republicans came to his defense.

In appearances on political TV talk shows, congressional Democrats accused DeLay and fellow Republicans of an "abuse of power" in handling questions over DeLay's fund raising and overseas trips.

1. Abuse of power is the issue and it looks like the Dem's are staying on

point.

"When Tom DeLay didn't like their findings, he basically got his majority in the House to undo it," the New York Democrat said. "That's an abuse of power. That's overreaching."

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, told CNN: "What bothers me is the Republicans, when things aren't going their way, tend to try to change the rules."

And Hoyer said on "Fox News Sunday" that Democrats would not "meet with an Ethics Committee that is neutered by the Republican leadership."

"The issue here is the abuse of power. And it's not just Tom DeLay," the Maryland Democrat said. "It's a Republican abuse of power."

5. Yup, that's it! DeLay should never be mentioned

without pulling the rest of the GOP with him. Force them to disavow him and his tactics or have them sink with him, because sink he will.

2. Republican Abuse of Power

Now that's a slogan I like!

It's one that everyone can understand.

Dean needs to refine his idea about higher power to something everyone can understand. How about:

Freedom to Practice Your Own Religion Without Gov't Interference

4. Its short and to the point. Just the way the American public likes it.
