Donations to DeLay Waaaaay Down
04/26/05
Bad news for Tom DeLay, good news for America: Contributions to DeLay's legal defense fund have plummeted.
In the first quarter of 2005, DeLay’s legal defense fund raised only $47,750. That is less than one-fifth of the amount raised in the last quarter of 2004, when the fund collected $254,250.
An analysis by Public Citizen reveals that contributions to the fund from DeLay’s congressional colleagues also slowed considerably during the first three months of 2005. Only nine members of Congress contributed a total of $30,000, which is an 83 percent drop from the last three months of 2004 when 36 of DeLay’s fellow representatives contributed a total of $174,500.

Oh, well.
Maybe he can borrow some from his wife and daughter. They have enough from his last campaign to finance the best defense!
Who needs money when those above you NEED you?
Remember that old saying, "no one ever got fired for using Microsoft?" - same thing w/Delay. The majority only listens to its base and the base is either dancing with Jesus or counting their capital gains. Tom Delay isn't a gnat on their ass.
Wonkster, the GOP has to keep an eye on the rest of the voters even while trying to cater to its radical base.
The GOP took over Congress by riding a a wave of discontent, and the same discontent that swept them in is building into a tsunami that is about to sweep them out.
Would you have us give up the fight? Would you rather we rolled-over, not try? Allow ourselves to be victimized without putting-up a fight?
What do you hope to accomplish here with your negative comments?
hehe ... maybe the guy knows someone soon under the knife of the bankruptcy bill. Only possible thanks to BOTH sides of the isle falling in line with big business.
For what it's worth, the GOP took over both houses 'riding' trojan horses with billboards on them saying "let us in! we're here to give your country to our corporate interests," and then they did it again and again .... get the picture?
By all means keep fighting. No one wants you to stop. I stopped backing either of the two parties after watching one (dems) pathetically try to keep Nader off of tickets while the repubs were backing him with some of their pocket change. Too funny for words is a party that stands for the little guy and fairness that goes out of their way to keep a guy that what, will pull 2% of the vote if he's lucky, out of the race and away from debates?
Buy a clue.
