Default Who Is This Politician?

I try not to post entire articles anymore.....but this is a very short one and doesn't make sense unless I do. Can you guess who Neil Cavuto is talking about? Don't cheat and look at the bottom until you've read it all!!

Beyond the Headlines
Monday, May 16, 2005
By Neil Cavuto

March 04, 2005

Ever since he was a young man, he and his wife have taken in foster kids. Not just little kids — older kids — sometimes what others call "dangerous kids." He gives them a good home and good opportunities and, for many, they go on to form a good life.

He did the same for harassed Jewish families during the height of the Soviet Union. Some he helped secret out. He forced a Republican president to talk about them, save them and ultimately free them.

At one point, this born-again Christian even helped arrange a Passover Seder for a Jewish family that had never had the privilege.

He's helped minority-owned businesses cut through red tape and have a fighting chance and helped others get the government off their back so they could get on their feet.

He gives a lot to charity, but tells those charities not to say a word about who's the one giving.

He comes from a party that many say is all about the rich, but most of the time he devotes himself to helping the poorest of the poor.

He's given unwed mothers a chance and those from broken homes a hope.


You might know him. His name is Tom DeLay.

I just cannot help myself!! As of 4:05 pm EST, Tom Delay is still a LYING, CONNIVING, TWISTED SOB...

(Regardless of what he has done in the past or what Neil Cavuto says)

Thanks for the laugh, JP5.........

Typical liberals. You guys ONLY talk the talk. Obviously, Tom Delay walks the walk.

Default Strange Bedfellows

.....no pun intended. But here's Democrat Barney Frank actually defended Tom Delay against something that Howard Dean said about him. First of all.....here's what Howard Dean said.....

"Tom DeLay ought to go back to Houston, where he can serve his jail sentence."

Barney Frank's response......From the Bill O'Reilly Show:

O'REILLY: Well, did you think it was a cheap shot?

FRANK: I think it was inappropriate. I'm a great critic of Tom DeLay's. I have nothing personal against him. I think he has run the House in a very bad way. I was very upset with what they did on the Ethics Committee.

But to say that he's a criminal, at this point there's no basis for that. He hasn't been indicted. And yes, I thought it was a very unfair and inappropriate thing to do.

And I also agree, there has been this tendency. People have denounced the criminalization of political debate. It ought to be possible to say that your opponent is a fool and has no idea what he or she is talking about, maybe isn't even well-intentioned in this particular thing, without us trying to throw each other in the slammer.

O'REILLY: Yes. I mean, I'd like to see the character assassinations stop, as well.

CLASSIC JP5!!

1 - I am not a Liberal (But it makes your toes curl to say that so.. )

2 - You know absolutely NOTHING about me to even determine that Tom Delay is a "better man" than I am.

HE WALKS THE WALK HUH?

OBVIOUSLY??? I haven't laughed this hard since I saw Jr's Cheerleading Picture..

Default .

That Delay is an otherwise good person is irrelevant to the question of whether he acted unethically or illegally. If he is charged with a crime, his good character can be used to seek a lighter sentence.
