..caught in a landslide...no escape from reality...
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
Tom DeLay's corporate fundraising is under investigation. In 2001 DeLay alledgedley pressured Enron's people to give his political action committee $100,000 (on top of the $250K that Enron had already pledged to the GOP. This information was discovered in an email uncovered during the Enron investigation. The Washington Post reports that they've now come into over a dozen documents that show DeLay and his associates directing money from corporations and lobbyists to various "Republican campaign coffers in Texas in 2001 and 2002 as part of a plan to redraw the state's congressional districts.".
So far, DeLay is not the target of any official investigation.
If the Federal Election Commission doesn't start up an official investigation of DeLay on this matter then they're shirking their responsibility. This guy appears to have completely flouted both federal and Texas state finance laws.
But the real responsibility rest with the 22nd Congressional District. Those people keep sending this charlatan to the House. It's their responsibility to get rid of him. And it's disgusting that the rest of us in the country have to deal with the repercussions of his shenanigans.
