PLEASE STAY FOCUSED

So little Tommy Delay has been indicted. Great! It's been a long time coming. I'm as pleased as anyone else here but observe...

1. As soon as the post hit LBN and was placed on the home page, we went to category 2, then 3.
2. There are scores of new Delay-related posts.

Let's take a few minutes to celebrate, then consider

A. How do we counter the inevitable spin?
B. Where is the best place to discuss developments and strategies (remember the ideas floated by NWH and myself for a dedicated forum for the "topic du jour")?
C. Stay focused on all the important issues we have been working on.

I submit this blog entry by John Conyers to remind us to stay focused. It was written at the time of *'s hasty nomination of Roberts, but read it in its larger context, that * will put the spin machine into gear to use Delay to distract us from the larger issues of "...corruption and deception in the White House, by continuing our examinations of Rovegate, Downing Street, and the ongoing deception in Iraq...".

PLEASE STAY FOCUSED!!!!!

Momentary celebration :bounce: then back to work.

If anyone says it was a partisan DA who indicted DeLay, kindly remind him it was a group of ordinary citizens serving on the Grand Jury that indicted him. Ask if they know how a GJ works-that the jurors may ask questions, and that they must be convinced by the evidence, and the evidence alone, to bring down an indictment.

I had the honor of serving on a GJ a couple years ago, it was a very educational and eye-opening 3 months.

by this prosecutor were for Republican office holders - the rest were Democrats.

...indicted more Democrats than Republicans and that Bill O'Reilly called him one of America's most innovative prosecutors (meaning it as a compliment).

i've let the liberal movement down :cry:

Just Google "DeLay" and "Saipan" and see what you come up with.

Wow, thanks for reminding us of this connection. So DeLay loves this Marianas sweatshop because it's a "petri dish" for his cruel Social Darwinist theories.

was a great one -- I suggested it too! To consolidate the numerous threads that pop up on a single frenzied subject.

Nothing Without Hope in the defunct "ask the administrators" forum.

WE'VE GOT 'EM ON THE RUN NOW BOYS(AND GIRLS)!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Sorry but I am still high from DC. How energizing.

63% want troops home, 150,000+ this weekend, DeLay Indictment, Frist is in trouble, *'s poll numbers........it's FINALLY happening but we can't let Rove "Judo" us with our momentum. This is the perfect opportunity for a Rathering.

Truth is an effective weapon, and can only be wielded effectively by the righteous. The DeLay indictment better be good, and if it doesn't lead to a conviction or at least a plea deal the * PR machine will spin it as persecution not prosecution.....


FOCUS Grasshopper.......

And it isn't the one I wanted for today, so--focus, focus, focus. And please, let's not get EVEN MORE distracted from the DSM, Cindy's situation, the unsustainable deficits and the ten other top priority issues for Dem activists.

According to Randi and DuBose, the funds filtered through the PAC came from a lot of out of state corporate donors.... basically to play with DeLAy you have to contribute to this PAC.... So in essence, the $s provided to Texas Congressional Candidates is coming from a lot of out of state corporations.... we can't beat that if we want our guys to abide by laws....

Keep the pressure on and keep shedding light on the truth.

:bounce: :woohoo:

oKAY, focus... OMMM OMMM WWYD (What would Yoda Do?)

Delay has FINALLY being indicted since this gives me hope to continue working and being focused...

On edit: sp

Staying focused w/no distractions. But man, it. is. hard. w/this gang.

Thanks for the much needed reminder :)

Agree 100%

Today Ranti Rhodes was talking about the Texas law that snagged DeLay:

"That's basically the only campaign finance law they have in Texas. It's from the days of the ROBBER BARONS cuz they were buyin up the Le-gis-lay-tcha."

Are all these "distractions" various forms of ROBBER BARONS have hijacked the United States of America?

:kick:

If this were a chess game, Delay would be off the table. It's time to go after the knight Frist.
