Dances With Roaches would have been extremely effective had he been
available to Adolph Hitler and his cretins. If you follow his machinations,
you will soon realize that he is driven to acquire power for himself
and the GOP AT ANY COST. The Republicans (secretly) love him, but keep
a safe distance.

Oh that's classic. Tom DeLay says those Texas state
Senators, who are off in New Mexico to stymie his
re-redistricting plan, are guilty of violating the federal
constitution.

From Fox News Sunday this morning ...

TONY SNOW: All right. Let's switch
to another topic. Texas -- there is an
imbroglio about redistricting.
Republicans want to change the map
because their Republican majority is
substantial in your home state.

But there's a question. These same
Republicans, a couple of years ago,
agreed to a redistricting, or at least, in
courts, got involved. Why should
Republicans get another bite at the
apple?

TOM DELAY: Well, we haven't had
the first bite. We're supposed to, by
Constitution, apportion or redistrict
every 10 years. The state legislature in
Texas couldn't do it in the last
legislature, and three judges did it and
they did a very poor job, as evidenced
that the fact that we have a minority of
Republicans in our congressional
delegation.

What -- you know, we in Texas,
Tony, have prided ourselves on honor,
duty and responsibility. Unfortunately,
the Democrats in the state legislature
don't understand honor because they're
violating their oath of office to support
the United States Constitution. They
don't understand their duty, which the
Constitution calls for in redistricting.
And they don't want to accept
responsibility for it, so they ran.

We're insisting that the Constitution be
upheld, and we feel very confident that
if the state legislature does its duty and
redistricts, then we will end up with a
majority of Republicans in the
congressional delegation.

Now that's classic. DeLay is pushing an effort which
is entirely unprecedented in the last half century and
hasn't been commonplace in this country for well
more than a hundred years. And his opponents, who
are resisting his efforts, are guilty of violating the
constitution.

Persistent, chronic up-is-downism ...
