Repub lawyer says dems using litigation to win election...

[cynatnite]

It was preparing to do so when Texas Democrats, calling DeLay's departure a "sham vacancy," obtained a court order June 8 barring the Republicans from naming a new candidate for two weeks.

That move denied the Republican challenger a chance to start raising money to catch up with the more than $2 million the Democrat, Nick Lampson, has already raised.

snip:
James Bopp Jr., a lawyer representing the Republicans, said the Democrats are trying to win the election "by litigation rather than having the voters decide."

16. Think about that idiot getting ready to open up your chest...

It wouldn't do you any good to ask him, "Hey Doc Frist, will I pull through er whut?" Because you can't believe a single word the man says!

Quackery-R-Us = the GOP

All the little quackers goose stepping along toward the edge of the cliff in a row, to the neocon's sour tune!

2. The Republican Party wants no rules

They let the Hammer run now he has withdrawn, now they want no consequences. They only want
the rules to apply to the other guy. Wrong, not!!!!

8. Apparently neocons suddenly forgot all the "litigation" of 2000, but......
