DEMS WISEN TO WEB
Dems ready fresh approach to bring color to ethics charges dogging GOP leader
By John Byrne | RAW STORY Staff

.... In a bold move, the Democratic campaign committee has also replaced their own website with the DeLay-themed extravaganza.

Perhaps most significantly, the site attempts to tie the entire membership of the House Republican caucus to their embattled leader. Residents of any district will be able to pull up a listing for their congressmember (if he or she is a Republican) and see statements and contributions related to DeLay.

"House of Scandal" adds sounds and interactivity to a series of ethics scandals, some of which have resulted in DeLay being rebuked by his colleagues.

On the site, DeLay's image is surrounded by some of his past associates that the congressman has sought to distance himself from, many of whom are being investigated or face charges of illegal campaign activity. When a cursor centers over DeLay's image, the visitor hears the sound of shattered glass; when browsing over the images of his associates—including fallen lobbyists Jack Abramoff and former DeLay press secretary Michael Scanlon—a laser-like sound is heard. ....

1. Have you watched the video?
And you can check your local reps to see if and how they're associated with DeLay. This is one great website and I'm hopeful that the Dem committee is part of this. I like brass!!

3. I didn't realize my representative from West Virginia
Shelley Moore Capito had such close ties with Delay. Thanks for posting that website it explains everything. I shouldn't be surprised about though her dad former Gov. of WV. Arch Moore was as crooked as a dogs hind leg he even served time in jail for corruption charges.
