Ashikaga Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 This ought to make for an interesting election season next year. I have to say that I never thought I'd see it...his associates, maybe, but not DeLay himself.http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/topstory2/3373567I saw a news item today that said that a former aide to DeLay pleaded guilty to some kindof charged involving a big amount of money.

Hey, Hey, watch the language there sailor, you kiss your mother with that mouth ? No need for the personal attack on KJB, geez nmain. What personal attack? He is a gay Republican. Funny...we haven't heard from him since Prop. 2 passed-thus giving him 2nd class citizenship and affording special rights to straight couples. BTW, my mom lives with Jesus now.

Ashikaga Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 YES, Couldn't have happened to a better guy. I hope the SOB goes to jail where he belongs. I just head that Judge Pat Priest dismissed the conspiracy but not the money laundering charge against Tom DeLay. Well, that's better than him getting off scott free. Yes, you're right, he does belong in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 According to news reports, Delay says he's going to give thousands of dollars he obtained through Abramoff to charity. Wonder if the beneficiaries will include Celebrations for Children Inc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west20th Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 From what I've read in the news about Jack Abramoff pleading guilty, Tom DeLay might get hurt even more. I think a lot of as&^%$#s in Washington puckered when it was announced Abramhoff accepted a plea deal and was singing like a bird. This will be interesting for sure. According to news reports, Delay says he's going to give thousands of dollars he obtained through Abramoff to charity.Wonder if the beneficiaries will include Celebrations for Children Inc.? Probably will go to the Tom Delay legal defense fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
