DeLay: The Only Reason I Was Indicted Was A Massive Conspiracy...
DeLay: The Only Reason I Was Indicted Was A Massive Conspiracy Between Democrats, The District Prosecutor and 8 Grand Juries

DeLay was forced to give up his leadership post over the weekend. But he is hanging on to his conspiracy theories. Watch his “exclusive interview” yesterday on FOX:

http://streaming.americanprogress.org/ThinkProgress/2006/delay_conspiracy.320.240.mov.htm

Transcript:

DELAY: And because of that rule, the Democrats used this runaway District Attorney here in Austin, Texas to abuse that rule. Eight grand juries indicted me, and the only reason to indict me is to get me to step aside.

(BREAK)

ANCHOR: You said just a moment ago you suspect that this was the real reason you were indicted because the Democrats wanted you out of the role of Majority Leader.

DELAY: It’s the only reason, Brian.

7. Eight years later, Hillary still goofed on for "massive conspiracy" theory
But where is the news media goofing on Delay for the same comments?
Oh, yeah. In Bush's pocket. Never mind.

18. Ah, ah I think there was a Right Wing Conspiracy
Much of the crap coming to light now was well underway when Hillary made that statement. Think Tanks, Scaife, on and on, there is much time and money spent on manipulation rather than honest politicking on the Republican side.

9. False, but , if it were true,
Edited on Mon Jan-09-06 11:21 AM by Skidmore
that woud me the Left Wing is really better at conspiring than the Right Wing, even though we can't agree on anything else or vote in block in the Congress. It would mean the Left Wing actually scored major convictions.

Tommy, go swat termites.

10. ANCHOR: That's the only reason?
DELAY: Well, that, and I was illegally diverting funds contrary to campaign finance laws, and stuff like that.

12. The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy, eh?
Let me get out my copy of the VLWC quarterly report and check . . .

Yup. There it is. We spent exactly 0.00% of what the repukes and the VRWC spent to smear Clinton.

Who's in charge of the VLWC now anyway? Is it my week or yours?

15. There's either a vast LW conspiracy, or a vast RW conspiracy -
just look at who benefits, and who's suffering.

17. The Lemmings need something to follow.
It's for them. They cannot unlock their brains. They've been hypnotized by propaganda.

Everything was Clinton's fault. Democrats are evil. So give them something they can follow. Over the edge.

And to think they could make this a better country. They could have better lives. They could even avoid the cliff altogether.

Edited on Mon Jan-09-06 11:46 AM by joefree1
Resistance is futile. You will accept all illegal monies as we have total control over your repuke mind. We are the all powerful Democratic mind control party. Bwahahahahahahahahah.
