REASON NUMBER 13,476,908,787 WHY REPUBLICANS ARE HYPOCRITICAL IDIOTS
So Tom DeLay thinks Nancy Pelosi should apologize for making personal attack remarks against George Bush. He says, and I quote, "Nancy Pelosi should apologize for her irresponsible, dangerous rhetoric... she apparently is so caught up in partisan hatred for President Bush that her words are putting American lives at risk."
Hm. Forgetting for a moment that it's Bush & the neocons who put our troops into harm's way, sending them to Iraq on a path paved with the Administration's lies, deceptions, and deliberate exaggerations... let's just take a look at Tom DeLay the public speaker, shall we?
"This morning, in a calculated and craven political stunt, the national Democrat Party declared its surrender in the war on terror," said Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.). "Out of sheer, brazen partisanship," House Democrats have "undermined our troops." -- Washington Post, May 16, 2004
"Regulation is a job-killing, career-stagnating menace that is really just taxation's evil twin," DeLay said. "All you have to do is imagine the Internal Revenue Code dressed in black with an eye patch, and you've got the federal register." Press Release, May 18, 2004
"I'm just glad President Carter wasn't in charge after Valley Forge, Bull Run, or Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately, this is becoming a dangerous pattern," DeLay said. "Democrat leaders continue to undermine our troops and our coalition's ability to win the war and bring peace and stability to the Middle East." -- Press release, April 9, 2004
"You know, the Democrats want to balance the budget by raising spending and raising taxes. The Soviet Union had a balanced budget." -- Meet the Press, December 23, 2003
The Environmental Protection Agency is "the Gestapo of Government." Congressional Quarterly, 1995, quoted in Mother Jones, 1996
Hmm... let's see. Saying that the president is incompetent is "surrendering in the war on terror?" Regulation is "evil?" Democrats who profess hope for peaceful solutions to world flashpoints are "undermining troops?" Calling Democrats Communists because they want to balance the budget? (Wait a second... wasn't a balanced budget amendment part of the Contract on America back in 1994, when the Republicans took power? How can something be a promise to the American people in 1994, and a Communist idea in 2004?) Likening the EPA to the Gestapo?
And yet this guy has the balls to stand up and complain about partisan attacks and dangerous rhetoric.
Tom DeLay is a bigger threat to the American Constitution and the American people than any Communist ever was. In fact, if he wants partisan rhetoric, how about this? I'll go one further: Tom DeLay presents a greater danger to America than Saddam Hussein ever did.
