[MLUG - DISCUSSION] DeLay Quits, Honesty Wins

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

This is what TrueMajority.org had to say:

DeLay Quits Congress Admitting Failure

Congressmember Tom DeLay, known as "The Hammer" for his legendary ability 
to wield raw power, once boasted of doing whatever it takes to create a 
"permanent conservative Congress."

Instead, early this morning he announced that he's resigning his House 
seat in disgrace, acknowledging that his misconduct has brought such scorn 
to his party that it could lose control of Congress this November.

President Bush, now supported by only 34% of his citizens, is shaking up 
his staff and hitting the road in a desperate attempt to appear competent 
and on a rational course.

The wheels are coming off of the conservative wagon.

And TrueMajority members are part of that story. When things looked 
darkest, you turned despair into action. DeLay once appeared all-powerful, 
and all corrupt, so you dogged DeLay at every turn. A full year ago, 
75,000 TrueMajority members petitioned Congress to drop DeLay from his 
leadership post; when his indictment was announced, you petitioned again 
to have him removed from Congress entirely. And in the meantime, 
TrueMajority members in DeLay's home district paraded a 6-foot effigy of 
Uncle Sam spanking Tom DeLay for his misdeeds. After twelve months of 
effort, one of the worst examples of congressional misbehavior is now out 
the door.
