In Defense of Tom Delay
by Michael Gregory Steele and Herman B. Hayes
I haven't wanted to talk about Republican House Majority Leader Tom Delay's recent ethics troubles on this blog until now. I haven't wanted to dignify this liberal outcry about "ethical abuses" with a response. It seems that I have waited as long as I can, and I won't stand by and let this saintly man be persecuted. I must speak out.- Am I going to deny that Tom Delay allowed lobbyists to financed trips abroad for him? No.
- Am I going to deny that Tom Delay funneled nearly $500,000 to various members of his family through his political action comittee? No.
- Am I going to deny that Tom Delay changed the rules of House Ethics Committee in order to shield himself from culpability? Absolutely Not.
Tom Delay has been a very succesful fundraiser for the party, and a tenacious opponent of the wicked liberals. He is one of the most powerful and sucessful members of the Republican Party. And with these successes come the spoils. He has earned his place by being diciplined and hard working and he deserves whatever financial reward he can attain. He has more than earned it.
This best strategy for Tom is to not allow himself to be criticized by people who have no credibility on this issue.
- You wouldn't allow a welfare recipient to criticize your work ethic.
- You also wouldn't allow a convicted criminal to challege your integrity.
- And you certainly wouldn't allow an unwed mother to question your parenting skills.
If Delay must respond to the reporters who continue to dog him, a good and simple response for him to give would be: "At least I'm not gay."
Note: Keep those emails coming to the Moral Mailbox, I'll be answering a select question on Monday.

You write "And with these successes come the spoils. He has earned his place by being diciplined and hard working and he deserves whatever financial reward he can attain. He has more than earned it."
Fair enough.
So, is it correct to conclude that if these same concerns were directed to a non-conservative, your position would be the same as the above quote? If not, why is that no being hypocritical?
anonymous,
Liberals should be punished for their actions even at the risk of conservatives being percieved as hypocrites.
Its quite clear to me that those who would deny a man the fruits of his work are the very same ones that are attempting to portray honest work as criminal behavior in the case of Tom Delay. Sure he is not perfect but that doesnt mean we cant overlook a few ethical slips. I mean isnt it the essence of Christianity to forgive and speak well of other people? Should not we have charity and love in our hearts for each and every one of Gods children? Should we not always speak well of our fellow citizens in working to build a nation founded on Christian principles of love, understanding, kind words and charity toward all?
and besides he isnt at all like that no good lying scumbag, traitor, drug addicted, woman crazed, socialist, traitor, draft dodger,liar in chief Bill Clinton!!
