House Republican's thank you note to the values voter

Tom Delay and Republicans in congress are about to issue an object lesson in situational ethics. If the rules get in the way of what a republican wants to do, then change the rules. Got it? Tom Delay certainly gets it.
House GOP May Change Leadership Rules

House Republicans were contemplating changing their rules in order to allow members indicted by state prosecutors to remain in a leadership post, a move designed to benefit Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) in case he is charged by a Texas grand jury that has indicted three of his political associates, GOP leaders said today.

Mr Delay has been rebuked by the House Ethics Committee three times this year. His alleged offenses range from vote selling to money laundering. Republican leadership is well aware of the criminal conduct of Delay and his cronies. Yet they look the other way. They are too occupied sucking wealth out of Delay-created PACs to pull their vaunted values out of the closet and take down their disgraceful leader.
