DeLay expected to rake it in at tonight's ROMP fundraiser (The Hill)

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) will receive an overwhelming outpouring of support — in cold, hard cash — from his fellow GOP lawmakers at tonight’s Retain Our Majority Program (ROMP) fundraiser.

DeLay has raked in more than $1.5 million from his fellow lawmakers and will funnel that money to the 10 most vulnerable colleagues, as identified by House leadership.

That figure amounts to $300,000 more than he raised for the same event two years ago and indicates DeLay’s enduring clout as one of the party’s premier fundraisers, even as he has been battered by Democrats and has faced a series of news reports questioning his ethics.

Those 10 lawmakers will all post more than $150,000 for the first quarter of fundraising, which ends March 31.

Corruption exceeding Mafia proportions.

Best government money can buy.

The more corrupt, the bigger the cash flow.

Nothing new here.

As cited in above thread, the GOP is getting NERVOUS about him--they're worried about the O6 runners. If you have a GOP rep, now is the time to lay on a major whine.

He has to go down soon. DeLay has way to much power especially for an evil f**k.
