CONGRATULATIONS DEMOCRATS -- you have the tools to destroy your most effective enemies. Noteworthy how this ends up happening time and time again.

Your apologia for Jensen was sweet in an old-fashioned loyalty sort of way but accusing the fall of the Exterminator on the Left is just sad.

Dear grumps,
You are such a hater. The Jensen and DeLay situations are, in fact, eerily similar. In both cases, the most powerful, effective, and ruthless opponents of Democrats end up being selectively prosecuted and deposed for breaking creative and retroactive rules. These are political persecutions, carried out by Democrats, with the creative use of a partisan reading of the statutes. Jensen and DeLay crushing you and your team is not a legitimate reason for coup by judiciary. Now that you've succeeded, you should at least be honest about the tactic.

The tools referred to at the top of the post are, I assume, the law, the judiciary, and the good people who serve on juries. Not to mention public disgust.

Am I missing something here?

I carry no little hatred, that's a fact. I hate that the venal have taken over the government for personal gain. I hate that the coarseness which Delay brought to the Hill has so permeated governance that ordinary citizens have no chance for input or relief. I hate that Insiders have made ours a government for the rich and lawless. I hate that the politics of distrust has so usurped our system that we fight one another over scraps while the powerful pull power to themselves.

We have gone back to the days of the Robber Barons, greedy, petty men who care little for others. As Delay's henchmen plead guilty it becomes clearer how deep the stink has gone.

The time has come for those who hate the American system and people to be gone from government. That their own greed has become the instrument of their downfall and the disgust of the people the lamentations they hear on their way out seems only fitting.

Don't cry to me about Scott Jensen's children when you raised not a peep about Chuck Chvala's. Don't call me a hater when you defend two men who have made America a worse place for our children and grandchildren.

Jensen may have done some good things. Delay may have smoothed things for his friends. Neither gave a rat's red rectum for anyone who disagreed with them and I hate that they've debased our government.

They are bad only because you disagree with them on strategy and policy. They believe sincerely in their philosophy, and each of them has more integrity than a handful of the likes of Frank Boyle, Spencer Black, and Dave Travis. Neither of them are greedy, petty men. And neither of them misused their positions for personal gain. You condemn them and are glad they're going down because they out-thought and out-worked you and your team all these years. Your diatribe about the evils of today's government has little to do with reality, and everything to do with the outsider bitterness of either cluelessness or life in the minority. You're the one who hates the American system, and you ought to stop kidding yourself.
