How Close Is Your Rep to DeLay??? |
|
Q: Why haven't more Republicans in Congress asked Tom DeLay to resign?
A: Because so many of them depend on DeLay's campaign contributions and his web of influence in Washington.
At Public Campaign Action Fund, we decided to expose this charade. We have ranked members of Congress on how close they are to Tom DeLay using six separate measurements, which include how much DeLay's PAC gave to them, how often a member voted the same way as DeLay, and whether they had given any money to DeLay's legal defense fund.
What we came up with is posted at InDeLaysPocket.com as the DeLay Rankings.
Every member of Congress is listed with their "Delay Ranking." Visit the www.InDeLaysPocket.com to see where your member is!

1. My Rep is Dennis Hastert |
|
Dennis has Delay's hand so far up his backside that he cannot burp unless Tom cracks his knuckles...

5. How much money did Joe Scarborough receive from Tom Delay. |
|
Makes one wonder, huh?
How much money did Tom Delay funnel to Joe Scarborough while he was a Congressman from Florida.

8. Scarborough is hateful regardless of Delay; |
|
How odd we think they're hateful, and some people adore them. That's the rift in our country, and it's a big one.

I'm not sure to what extent Bond and Talent support DeLay, but Governor Matt Blunt has vehemently defended him every step of the way.

Mike Ferguson - whose main residence is in Maryland, even though he represents a district in New Jersey. :grr:
He has taken the MOST money from Delay. :puke:
Ferguson must go in 2006!

19. Mike Ferguson -- not #1, but received most money. |
|
$42,403.
And judging from the numerous large multicolored campaign pieces I received before the election, he's using some of it on pretty, meaningless propaganda. He's also got a brand-, spanking-new HQ not far from me.
And no donations to DeLay. Hmmm.

He's No. 7 on the list. What a loser. Unfortunately, he keeps running unopposed. Need some dems to move to Virginia.

35. Hefley Used to be Head of the Ethcs Committee |
|
But he was forced out by those in the GOP who were trying to protect DeLay. Hefley may be a jerk - he may be an asshole - but it looks like he may have principles....

26. Why isn't David Dreier (R-closeted gay) in the top 25? |
|
He gave DeLay $5,000 for his defense fund... and why isn't anyone investigating the 25 overseas trips (funded by ?) that he and his lover/Chief of Staff took?

Was asked to return Delay's PAC contributions, ignored any talk of Delay (too busy working on budget).
Nussle will be running for Governor in 2006....please make it come back to haunt him!!

Edited on Wed May-11-05 12:29 PM by Penndems
my Representative, Tom Davis, accepted $4,520 from Tom DeLay's PAC and voted 86.19% of the time with DeLay (2,897 of 3,361 votes).
Another one of The Hammer's whores!
It's time for Tom to GET OUT.

He's a pro-lifer Repuke but he's 223rd on the list, the 9th lowest Republican, which isn't too bad considering.

My p.o.s. rep is Doolittle (and does he ever!)
Report Card Rep. John Doolittle's Connections to Tom DeLay
Accepted $4,375 from Tom DeLay's PAC
Donated $10,000 to DeLay's Legal Defense Fund
Voted 95.32% of the time with DeLay (4,416 of 4,633 votes)
He's not just close, he's in bed with him! Ranks a 5.41 on the 'delayspocket' scale. :grr:
