Do you conservatives (bible toting, self righteous, big business, redneck) ever watch the news? How about the whole Tom Delay scandal? Oh, let me rephrase the TRMPAC scandal. Not the FAA one where he had the FAA track down democrats in their planes which is ILLEGAL.
TRMPAC, was Delay's fundraising scheme where big business was able to donate directly into republican campaign contributions. (which is ILLEGAL). The money was then funneled into the republican headquarters in Washington and then dispersed to individuals in local elections. Thus resulting in an overwhelming amount of newly gained republican seats. "By investing as much as $2.5 million in corporate money in the 2002 election, TRMPAC and another group, the Texas Association of Business, were able to help elect 26 new Republican candidates to the Texas House. The new Republican majority then redrew the congressional district boundaries and, as a result, five Democrats are likely to lose in the Nov. 2 election, according to political experts." http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A43219-2004Jul11?language=printer
"Bush then said that he would use his traditional Thanksgiving pardon to free DeLay should he be indicted for political corruption charges in Texas, and then paraded the Texas congressman across the lawn to complete the festive holiday ceremony."
