Yeah, that Delay is a clever bastard.
It's good news that he's gone. But who knows what will happen now. This might actually work in the Republicans favor.

No politician even comes close to garnering an ounce of my admiration, let alone me considering them a hero.
Nice troll, again.

Yup that's a bummer. I was hoping to see him lose the election. That would have really made him untouchable for any political post - appointed or otherwise - for a while.

When the people that you employ within your own office are pleading guilty to corruption charges,
and it becomes clear that the office was used him for that purpose, it's inevitable that the other shoe will fall.
Still he intends to drag it out for a few more months, there's still graft money to be accepted
for campaign donations to a crook that intends to milk it for every penney he can grab.

Well, this move may just be related to his legal woes:

Just wanted to provide a couple of Zendari's gems on Delay from Zendari's "There?s no leadership race" thread: Zendari thread
And then, of course, there was the infamous "It's Hammer time" as the thread subtitle (now judiciously removed).
By way of comparison, here is some restrained verbiage in the same thread - responding to Zendari - from us clueless liberals:
Come on, Zendari, make some more predictions.

I just heard the sound bite of Delay, he blamed the whole thing on the "liberal media", what planet does this guy live on and does anyone beleive him? Is there one conservative on these forums who can defend him and his case against the liberal media?
I thought about a "tribute" thread to DeLying but why bother with that turd.
Unfortunately, DeLay's exit from Congress came three years too late. DeLay was one of the chief architects of the Federal Bankruptcy Act of 2003 aka Medicare Modernization. His chicanery was pivotal in the passage of that garbage. It's a shame we cannot expunge that law along with this tool.

He also said he wanted "to spare his constituents an ugly 7-month campaign" and that he didn't want to endure the "Michael Moore's and Barbara Streisand's coming to Texas for his liberal democrat opponent."
What an idiot and the bigger idiots are his followers.
And with his plans to move to Virginia, can he even do that since he's under indictment in Texas?
I can guarantee that will NOT sit well with voters in the district. DeLay partisans are trying to paint a picture of him falling on his sword but there's essentially nothing honorable about his departure. DeLay's district voted 64% for President Doofus but only 55% for him in 2004 and that was BEFORE the scandals. Further, Lampson is a much stronger candidate than DeLay's opposition in 2004. DeLay realized the odds were against him so he cut and ran.
He's moving to VA due to TX law about the ballot. If he leaves the state, dies, or is indicted . . . his name will be removed from the ballot. Two out of three ain't bad . . . but DeLay is still hoping he won't be indicted. He will need every penny of graft in his "legal defense fund." Granted, even after indictment (and likely conviction) he will still collect a ridiculous pension . . . just like his kindred spirit Randy Cunningham.

Maybe his day-glo orange jumpsuit will help his political career. What a frog-eyed jackass he is. Enemy of the environment, ego the size of Alaska. Some parting quotes from a vile piece of maggot excrement.

I think you're right. This is one of 2 things. First, Delay could be getting indicted in the near future in connection to Abramoff. Second, there may be internal polling showing how much Delay hurts the GOP nationwide. It is probably a combination of both.
I don't think he would've backed out of the upcoming election if it was just his seat in question, or in play. He probably would've gone to the mats with the whole persecuted Christian and victim playbook. He has been playing it for months now, and he seems to like the role.
The GOP will try to distance themselves from him, but it is not going to work here. Delay's tenacles are too deeply imbeded in the GOP Congress. They are corrupt and Delay was their corrupt moneyman.
In less the mood of the country changes appreciably in the next 4 or 5 months, there is going to be a tidal wave of new Democratic congress people. I will go on to predict that the contenders that are veterans of BushCo's Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) will be wildly successful. When they get out on the campaign trail after labor day Americans are really going to focus on Iraq, and that is bad news for the GOP. There isn't enough campaign money in the world for the GOP to successfully spin the Iraq fiasco.
I'm just hoping he will be in jail before he can start this crap....

OMFG Yes, I'd like to see any of the resident Republicans defend this especially since they have been winning total control using such said "Liberal Media" as well as not only suviving the Michael Moore's and Barbara Streisand's of the Democrats but destroying them.

Well he is out...but what is to say that two or three years later he won't surface as a government lobbyist. I fear just because he resigned doesn't mean that his influence is elminated. Maybe in the short term...but the longterm it may hurt us more.

I wouldn't mind that, however if you remember, "balancing the force" in the SW universe always seemed to mean the slaughter of the jedi (good guys) and the rise of the sith (bad guys). And thus I question your statement.
