It's Hammer Time

I must admit Tom "The Hammer" Delay is not one of my favorite people. It's beyond me, how a representative of my district, who has fraud and crook attached to his name in all the recent press clippings can manage to stay in office. But when the the Repugs control all branches of goverment, fraud and theivery is really no big deal if it's one of their guys.

A political committee created to elect Republicans to the Texas House was a highly sophisticated organization that did not report some expenditures as required by state law, a campaign finance expert testified Tuesday.
Texans for a Republican Majority, formed by Republican U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, should have reported some $600,000 in expenditures on state disclosure forms, Trevor Potter testified.
Some of the money was spent for political consultants, printing for mailouts and other items that five Democratic plaintiffs claim were political expenses. Potter, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, agreed.

Now the true reason I know nothing will happen to him...

DeLay has congressional immunity from being forced to testify in the civil lawsuit.
