DeLay Indicted!

Dear Mr. Earle:

I noticed that you investigation into Tom DeLay included the records of Purple Sage Ranch in Bandera, TX. owned by Continental Oil. The place has a 3800' runway! 3800'?!? Tom's brother worked for Continental.

Did Tom's brother's connection to Continental have anything to do with your indictment and since you worked for John Connolly, can we really trust you will do the right thing?

TNT, you're probably right about both parties doing it.

But you know what? DeLay presided over a mid-decade redistricting that left Austin without effective federal representation. If not for his influence we'd still have a single US Rep for the whole city.

So fuck him. We'll get the other crooks next time. DeLay needs to go down.

check out this balanced discussion ohte dianne rehm show from dc's npr station this morning.

Where was Mr. Ronnie Earle in 2002 when Texas Democrats sent $125,000 in hard money to the DNC and received $150,000 in soft money?

The truth of the matter is, with Texas's convoluted campaign finance laws, these kinds of money transfers go on all the time, by both parties. Maybe it is an end-run around the law. But illegal?

The only interesting thing here is the fact that Earle has ignored the the Dems doing the same thing and chose to go after a high-profile Republican.

Pffffft.

Only 9,273,278 politicians to go.

Stop.

Hammer Time.
