The Hammer is Nailed
Celebrations are in order. Tom (The Hammer) DeLay will permanently give up his prior post as House Majority Leader. Reports are that "DeLay acted hours after a small vanguard of Republicans circulated a petition calling for leadership elections and citing DeLay’s legal problems" as well as his long ties to corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The panic and fallout from the Abramoff guilty plea and squealing has begun. Long may it live.

One down, a whole party of Republicans to go. And no doubt some Dems along with them. We need to cut out the corruption and what amounts to bribery from BOTH parties. If we don't, our democracy is dead dead dead.

Not one single DEM took money from Abramoff.
Some DEMS took money from his clients which is perfectly legal.
These transactions had nothing to do with Abramoff.
Get this one straight liberals.
This is exclusivley a Republican corruption scandal.

The poster above is correct re the Abramoff scandal being solely about Republicans. See Monday's post above.
