Ronnie Earle: Go fark yourself
Yanno, I wasn’t even going to dignify this Ronnie Earle hack’s bullshi’ite indictment of his longtime nemesis with any comment, but now I have to because to my utter amazement, several people I normally consistently agree with are saying Tom Delay should resign.
No f’n way.
Said Traderrob in comments at Rusty’s: *
If that’s the litmus test then GW better get ready to pack his bags because his reputation thanks to the left and MSM is pretty starchy and last I checked is maintaining a lower favorability rating then Delay.

If he is innocent (at least of this) as I suspect and the left succeeds in bullying the right into submission before even the slightest shred of evidence is presented, they have won a far bigger battle than anyone will ever imagine.

Those points are EXACTLY on target.
In this case, countless legal scholars have said the indictment is total BS. I might have felt in the past that Delay was not good for the party’s public image (although he is extremely politically effective!), and wouldn’t have minded him going quietly.
Now, though, under these circumstances? HELL NO! This won’t take leftard heat off the party one bit; if anything this should be GOOD for the right, if everyone would fight back against this obscenely partisan attack. It ought to be a unifying event, and I’m amazed that anyone who’s not a partisan Democrat would send Delay up the river, and for what? So those meanie Dems won’t talk about Tom Delay any more? F–k that! When they’re finished cleaning the bones, they’ll go after someone else. Look how they’ve spent five years trying to “get” Bush, Rumsfeld, Rove, and anyone else with power.
I don’t see how Delay’s resignation would do ANYONE any good except for the Democrats, especially since Delay is hated because he is EFFECTIVE. His resignation would remove the man who can push through Republican initiatives, as well as embolden and encourage them to reach even further.
Ronnie Earle can go f*ck himself, and Delay and the rest of the GOP ought to hammer the bastard.
* I’m not playing in the blogfluffle. I just don’t agree with Rusty and some others on this, but I’m not pissed at them about it, and I damn sure don’t do “de-linkings” over a single issue, either. (Do de-linkers leave their political party over one second- or third-rate issue? Who’s cornered the market on loyalty, anyway?)
** Note to moonbats: You can foam at the mouth and jump up and down all you want; I’m not changing my mind, so save your breath. You know this is a bunch bullshi’ite yourselves.
*** I propose the following: we start doing what the Democrats do to Delay: just keep repeating the line that one of THEIRS is unethical until it just sticks, regardless of the facts, and then maybe they’ll force that person to resign? (Heh. Yeah, right.)
**** CAPS LOCK, BUSHEEPLE!!!???!!!

Beth (the other one) says:
Ronnie Earle is more than a few fries short of a happy meal, and he’s rabid when it comes to hating politicians (especially Delay). Back before TX was a GOP stronghold, he’d go after fellow Democrats. He got laughed out of court with his indictment of Sen. Hutchison. He indicted several corporations, but worked a deal with them once they made huge donations to the charity of his choice. And… um… he indicted himself once (and settled with the court with a fine). Yup… a few fries short… and completely missing the burger and beverage.

I like Tom DeLay. He is a damn good leader, a rare commodity these days. He’s a decent man who stands up for what he believes in. If some people don’t like what Mr. DeLay stands for, fine. But
Jack Hamilton says:
Having helped with hundreds of prosecutions and giving testimony in a lot of grand juries I know this is as the lovely blog mistress states bullshi’ite.
Even Earl’s annocement was suspect. There was no explanation of Delays crime and him the big fish in the barrel. So just whats wrong with Delay the democrats dont like him. Well I dont like any of those goober smooching bastards. The man gets the job done. We have to quit dumping everyone the democrats howl about because it will never stop

traderrob says:
Every argument I have heard in favor of DeLay resigning have been incoherent at best.
btw, consider yourself blogrolled
dingo says:
Hell, no, I don’t want him to go. with 3 admonishments, support for sweatshops, and an indictment make him the perfect target for us (the Dems). If he leaves, there is no one nearly as easy to pick on and pin up as the GOP poster boy for how we’ve been sold out to lobbysits. The longer he stays, the more Americans see that the “contract with America” is null and void.
Viva Hammer. With out him, I would have so much less to blog about.

“just keep repeating the line that one of THEIRS is unethical until it just sticks”
What I wsnt to know is how the hell would we even go about agreeing on which ONE to go after??? Talk about shooting fish in a barrel…I’ve got a better idea; let’s ignore the creeps and continue business as usual. That will actually piss them off more than anything!
Marcus Aurelius says:
First off nice & cheeky blog! I have bookmarked it and thanks for linking to Blogger Beer!
See-Dubya left a comment over at my site. We certainly don’t want sham indictments being the level at which people are forced out of office, which was what I allude to in my blog. We should not award the corrupt Ronnie Earle in the corrupt use of the his DA’s office.
I love Dingo’s silly statement about lobbyists. I was reading that Bill Gates once was proud MS did not pay a dime for lobbyists. Guess what? That’s changed. Why would that be? A bullying & over-regulating government.
dingo says:
“A bullying & over-regulating government.”
Yes, Marcus, those anti-trust laws are so bullying. Nothing better for capatilism than monopolies and the lack of competition.
