Ahhh, good old Republicans...
If you don't feel like reading the news story on the link above... The Republicans are going to change party rules to allow Tom DeLay to remain Majority leader if he gets indicated by a Texas Grand Jury for political corruption.
Good lord people, please freaking read the news and find out what the Republicans are doing in office. Just don't go by their propaganda. Actually learn what they do with your tax dollars. And don't just say "Oh well all politicians are corrupt." Yeah, they may be, but find out what those politicians are doing and hold them accountable.
The Republican party has been constantly getting away with this sort of thing, and this isn't even the worst of it. And half the nation basically told the Republicans that the corruption was acceptable in the most recent vote. Now, when their Majority leader is possibly a total crook,(And I suspect in this case, he really is, but I'm going to be nice about it) he's not going to lose his position. Personally I don't want someone like this being the Majority leader. But the entire government is Republican controlled, and we allowed it.

You know this is ironic to me on several levels- including part of the 'problem' with DeLay was that he wanted to arrest the Texas Dems, to force the vote for re-districting.
Then they say the reason for the change of the rule is because the REPUBLICANS are afried of partisan lawsuits... you know the republicans are SO afried that the democrats will charge them with ALL sorts of things to get party.
Damn power grubbing dems! ;-)
BUT the real kicker which I feels need to be mentioned was the rule that Adam is peeved that the Republicans are setting aside, WAS PUT THERE BY REPUBLICANS.
Yes, in 1993, the house republicans made a rule to force indicted leaders to step aside- and they did this because they had problems with DEMS dodging the law.
So this is perhaps even MORE hypocritical then Adam thought. They created a law to 'punish' democrat crooks then set it aside when it applies to a republican crook.
