Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean criticized DeLay during a conference in California on Saturday, calling DeLay morally bankrupt and corrupt. "It is not a moral value to be reprimanded three times by the ethics committee and then to try to get rid of the committee," Dean said, later invoking DeLay's name in a warning to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger about state education funding. "Governor, do not go down the same road as Tom DeLay. We can't use any more corrupt Republicans in office in this country."
The DNC along with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also launched an anti-DeLay Web site on Friday called "Tom Delay's House of Scandal," detailing Democrats' views of the alleged ethics violations.
The Web site argues that the probes are evidence of Republican ties to special interests that have led to the enactment of legislation that is bad for America. The site also implicates in malfeasance nearly all Republican House members as well as the Republican National Committee and well-known Washington lobbyists by virtue of their relationship to DeLay. And, it makes no bones about its agenda.
"The DCCC is the only organization whose sole mission is defeating Tom DeLay and every Republican congressional member in the country. The DCCC is working tirelessly to recruit, train, advise and fund candidates to take on Tom DeLay and his army of defenders," the site says.
