Defeated Primary Opponents Refuse to Endorse Tom DeLay

[Rose Siding]

The Hill reports-

While primaries tend to be bruising, often far more so than general elections, political rivals generally unify behind a nominee in the wake of an election so that the party can move forward....

The Republicans’ failure, so far, to do just that in Texas’s 22nd District, in the Houston suburbs, suggests DeLay may have a tough time unifying his base as he heads into the general election against Democratic former Rep. Nick Lampson, Democrats said.

-Michael Fjetland, one of the Republicans to challenge DeLay in the March 7 primary, said flatly:
“I cannot endorse any felon.”

-Pat Baig, who finished fourth in the GOP primary, stated, “I believe Tom DeLay embodies the malignancy that is destroying the integrity, credibility and historical cornerstones of the Republican Party. That is why I ran against him. I cannot vote for corruption; therefore, as in ’04, he will not have my vote in ’06.”

this type of person.

6. Winning? Are you joking?? Delay just bought the primary.

Chances are he's probably never legitimately won an election.

8. Praying that the Democratic candidate wipes the floor with DeLay's

rotting carcass.
