Freepers: DeLay found guilty because he was a white Republican on trial in Travis County
To: Non-Sequitur

The appeal will clear him.

A Republican can’t count on a fair trial in Travis County. That’s why the Democrats set it up to have the political trials there (the republicans have been too gutless to change it since they took over.)

So the verdict shouldn’t surprise anyone.

This could set the tone for what happens to a number of Democrats in the coming year with Republicans in control of Congress.

This persecution of Tom Delay is beyond unbelievable. Every politician could be convicted of money laundering with these standards. Perhaps politics should be illegal.

I don’t believe he’s guilty but the jury verdict stands. I hope/pray he wins on appeal.

Regardless, this presents an opportunity to prosecute numerous Demo0crats for similar and worse abuses or the system. Failure to do that negates efforts to ‘clean up’ congress and hold them accountable. IF Delay can be convicted on such flimsy evidence, surly Pelosi, Franks, Dodd, Reid and others deserve similar scrutiny.

Delay vs the corrupt slime from NY.

Wanna bet which one was much more corrupt?

Wanna bet which one gets the most severe penalties?

Answer: Q1: The black guy.
Answer: Q2: The white guy.

And we wonder why respect for congress is just below that of a fly that has landed on Barney...er ...a t*rd.

2. Yeah, I was curious about what they'd say too
So I went over there and browsed around a bit. The sadness and dismay and shock -- oh, the humanity!! :rofl: (Although, to their credit, a couple of posters did say that if he broke the law, he deserved punishment. I expect that those folks will be run out of FR real fast.)

Yeah, there's a lot of consensus that an appeal will clear him and that the poor man was persecuted terribly. Poor wittle Tommy. My heart bleeds. Not.

6. "And both the Clinton`s and Obama`s are walking around free???"
Aside from the criminal misuse of apostrophes, exactly what crimes does this dolt think the Clintons and Obamas should be charged with?
