Tom DeLay calls it quits. Fantastic. One down...ten thousand or so more to go http://articles.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20060403224109990002&_mpc=news%2e10%2e1&cid=842
I wonder if when most liberals see an old lady get hit by a car, they laugh???? DeLay was hounded out of office on TRUMPED UP charges. A real partisan hacket job. And dont forget his constituents supported him to the end, and probably would have re elected him. But DeLay wanted to spare them the SMEAR of the Hate Party. His seat will almost certainly be taken by another Republican.
Justwow, why do you call everyone liberal just because they don't agree with your politics? DeLay commited a crime and he should face the consquences of his actions. It burns me to think that a person stealing $20 will go to prison for 20 years, while someone who commits a multimillion dollar crime gets a slap on the wrist. Peace and love
Right. And people all around me are getting persecuted and having their legitimate freedoms taken away and stuck in a profit-making prison system. Do you know how free we feel? Huh, justwow? Tell me. People like DeLay will never spend a day in jail, and poor people all around me have their legitimate rights taken away, and nobody gives a damn.
You grew up in Texas, didn't you? And I bet your parents are white collar It's OK, we understand it's not your fault you suck!
and your 'poor people' broke the law and landed themswelves in jail. Excuse me while i shed a tear for the poor oppressed people sitting in gen pop.
I said that their legitimate rights and freedoms were taken away. I'm talking about people that were unjustly persecuted for the sake of a profit making justice system. If you don't care about that kind of thing, you ought to.
please qualify what you mean by legitimate freedoms then. Anyways, goodbye tom delay. You wont be missed.
What does being glad DeLay quit have to do with old ladies getting hit by cars? Us "hateful" liberals wouldn't laugh if an old lady got hit by a car, but we would push for universal healthcare so we'd know for sure the old lady would be taken care of. Hate Party? What's that, your definition for anything that isn't republican? The republican party champions the smear campaign, I don't think democrats could equal them if they tried. You think your precious republicans are glowing examples of clean politics? I'm down here in Texas, in the liberal city DeLay gutted into the outter republican districts. I think it is about time karma bit him in the ass, because Austin also happens to be the city where he goes to court. He keeps our liberals from getting elected by redistricting our city, we keep him from getting re-elected by trying him for his crimes. It's more than fair.
Exactly. I'm a 'liberal' if I care about happens to other people, and a 'conservative' if I'm concerned about how much money I can make off the poor old lady's sufferings in the for-profit 'people are nothing but a commodity' healthcare system that the conservatives seem to be so much in love with? Justwow is the one that keeps labeling us 'liberals'-I never said I was a liberal, but the more I hear about what it means to be a good 'conservative', the less I'm interested in being one.
And how exactly do you think it feels to be perpetually surrounded by Bush-bashers who base their entire arguments on pure hatred and cliche-influenced judgements???? And I dont talk politics in every thread. Only where it is appropriate, in the politics or protest sections. Or have I not the right to be opposed to the left?
You came to a liberal forum...what do you expect? And as far as us having arguments about why we dislike Bush...for good reason! What has he done for the environment lately? What has he done for healthcare in our nation? What has he done for underprivelaged people? Damn right we have something to base our dislike for him on.
