Reply #424: ELECTED Prosecutor.

[DrCorday]

I believe the term "ELECTED PROSECUTOR" or "DISTRICT ATTORNEY" is more appropriate. He serves the people of Travis County and the state of Texas, and has prosecuted more Democrats in cases like this than Republicans, despite his personal party affiliation.

Party identification is part of the Republicans' strategy to dodge the implications of corruption and change the subject.

The real issue here is not whether or not the charge is politically motivated (as the noise machine has just keyed into) but whether or not DeLay is guilty of the crime.

For the record, Tom DeLay's PAC has been accused and previously investigated for these crimes. Other cases, including the Valerie Plame scandal, political appointees to important administrative posts, and poor leadership in Iraq and across the board make it clear: The Republicans are entrenched in a culture of corruption and dishonesty.
