Tom DeLay on the way out
It's all about re-election. Politics, that is. Rick Santorum (Repub from PA) is a conservative, perhaps too conservative for PA. He is being challenged by Bob Casey, son of Governor Casey, the conservative Roman Catholic Democrat who supported regulation of abortion (24 hr waiting period, parental notification)- perhaps you heard of Planned Parenthood v Casey? Anyway, Santorum is afraid of Casey. Meanwhile, in Texas, Delay didnt get re-elected by a wide margin in the last election, despite his war chest of slimey money, despite his being House Maj Leader. Demo's have targeted DeLay in 2006, and Santorum too. So Rick Santorum has called on DeLay to come clean on campaign financing and, simply put, his bribes. Santorum wants to appear clean, above reproach, to distance himself from someone who is crashing. Santorum runs for re-election, lets PA voters know his committment to ethics, how he got rid of a dishonest Republican like DeLay. Meanwhile, Rep. Shay, Repub from Connecticut, calls for DeLay to resign. It makes sense, get a moderate New England Repub to call on DeLay to resign. Obviously, the Repub would like DeLay gone: they could keep his House seat, and his scandals wouldn't hurt the re-election chances of endangered Repub's lilke Santorum. DeLay supports involuntary servitude in Saipan; he corruption goes beyond the usual corruption of Congress, and that is saying something! How do the Repub's get away with having someone like DeLay as Maj leader??? What will DeLay do when he resigns? Open a pest removal company (his former career)? Of course not - he will be employed by some lobbyist firm or company that could use his influence (how do you spell Halliburton?). What does Jim Hightower say about DeLay? One million sperm and his was the fastest??!!
