Are the Republican’s chickens finally coming home to roost?
Tom DeLay has finally been indicted. This is for his financial improprieties dealing with his TrimPAC. The spin machine going full speed and talking points are being distributed, but the Republican blame deflectors have been working overtime lately and maybe they don’t have enough power to save Mr. DeLay. If this is all this ultra-corrupt politician goes down for, it will be like when the FBI took down Hoffa for tax evasion.
While DeLay alone should make party loyalists question their contributions; add to that Bill Frist’s possibly illegal stock dealings, Karl Rove’s illegal outting of a covert CIA operative, the rising mound of evidence against Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff, the rampant cronyism revealed by the Hurricane Katrina disaster, the rising American body count in Iraq, the rising gas prices, and the rising deficit. You have to wonder how these people are still in power. Maybe, finally, the sheer mass of their mistakes will finally shake the O’Reilly wax from the ears of moderate and conservative Americans and make them realize that the party they elected doesn’t have their interests at heart. They have their own interests at heart and they don’t care about the rest of us.
Kinda makes you miss the days when Monica Lewinsky was the big scandal.
