Lobbyist Tied to DeLay Indicted

Jack Abramoff is finally indicted for fraud and illegal fundraising, as DeLay tries to "loosen" ties with his former pimp. But this marks just another step toward making Mr. DeLay accountable for his illegal ways. US Congress people should act to a higher standard and Delay's actions are downright indefensible. However, Delay still has friends who protect him - BushCo and his oil buddies. And boy did this latest joke of an Energy Bill give DeLay am awful large "prize".

Pathetic. Break the law or act irresponsible or just be down right hateful to anyone who disagrees with you, and get rewarded with one of the most pork-ridden pieces of legislation of all time; what Bernie Sanders calls "the worst bill money could buy..."

When will we stop this madness? You have almost every editorial in the U.S. and greater part of the world calling out DeLay's energy handout, waiting for Treasongate to produce some results, and watching Cindy Sheehan on the side of that Texas road, but nothing happens. It used to be that folks were held accountable for their actions. Some had the integrity to call it quits and save Americans further pain. Some worked hard to make sure it would not happen again. Because we are not in mock government at your local high school, where you go home at the end of the day without any consequences- we are dealing with real world issues and real world people. Maybe it is time we have a real world government...
