From the Arizona Republic:

Afraid you'll lose? Just change the rules

Nov. 20, 2004 12:00 AM

So Tom DeLay, the Republican House majority leader, has three ethics violations, may soon be indicted, and could face felony charges.

Not to worry! Just change the party rules so he can remain the House leader.

President Bush gets the majority of his judges approved but comes up short on a few. No problem. Change the filibuster rules. Some Republicans want to run Arnold Schwarzenegger for president but he is not a U.S.-born citizen. No problem. Amend the Constitution.

Do you see an erosive pattern here? So much for the "values" of the Republican Party. - Kevin Horan, Flagstaff
