Poor Tom Delay. The Home Folk are turning on him.

I really don't like this rotten son of a bitch. But I digress.

Ms. Baig, 57 - who identifies herself as a fellow Republican of Mr. DeLay, the House majority leader, and is one of his constituents - took out a full-page advertisement on Wednesday in the 62,000 copies of the weekly free Fort Bend Southwest Sun. It urged demonstrators "who want ethical reform" to rally against Mr. DeLay's scheduled keynote speech Saturday night to the National Rifle Association in downtown Houston, "to protest the actions of Representative DeLay and ask for his resignation," while adding her gun-owner's caveat: "This is NOT a protest of the N.R.A.!"

:evilgrin:

This I like.

Another Republican, who runs the other weekly county paper, has also been openly hostile to Mr. DeLay, and a Zogby poll two weeks ago for The Houston Chronicle found nearly 40 percent of 501 voters saying that their opinion of Mr. DeLay has declined since last year, with 11 percent saying their opinion of him had improved. His Democratic opponent from 2004 has already declared for a rematch next year, along with some other likely candidates, including a possible primary opponent.

1. House interested achieving ethical reform.... however it was

"DeLayed" by a prominent Congressman. Story at eleven.

[acmejack]

2. It will be in 2006

When we vote him out of the House. He has made it plain that he will not exit gracefully.

3. Zogby poll two weeks ago for The Houston Chronicle found nearly 40 percent

I thought it was more like 49%. I made that post, do a search if you're up to it, my brain is tired.

[ulysses]

4. I weep for the little fuckstick.

Really, I do!

:silly:

[ClarkUSA]

5. Thanks. This and Clark's appearance on Bill Maher has made my week.

I want DeLay to stay until 2006 and drag everyone on the GOP ticket down with him.

Now that's the kind of coattail effect I like!

:popcorn:

6. If these folks hate Delay so much, why aren't they targeting Bush too?

[rocktivity]

7. Because Bush is targeting DeLay

The Bush Oval Office--that is, Rove and Cheney==are masterminding this. Along with threatening judges, DeLay also threatened to pull the financial plug on any Republicans who didn't back him in his time of crisis. Since carrying out such a threat would undermine Bush's power base, Rove and Cheney are treating as a coup attempt.

12. Bush

is too close to power. Many of their voters adore Bush (:shrug:) and they know it'd be political suicide with them. Especially in a very "red" state and everything. DeLay is really a nobody if you think about it compared to Bush. I don't expect DeLay to go down and/or soon. I think the show is just getting started.

[rehema]

8. DeLay will go out kickin' and screamin' at Democrats

but only if he's voted out.

[LatePeriduct]

9. Let the door give your backside a real great exit Delay.

:patriot:

[FreedomAngel82]

10. It is fun

It's obvious people want him gone but he's not ready to leave yet. I wonder what his grand finale exit will be. :popcorn:

11. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

Adios, Tommy
