GOP Congressman=Apologist for Corruption

On Thursday, April 7, Rep. Jeb Bradley defended House Majority Leader Tom DeLay
on New Hampshire Public Radio. State Rep. Peter Sullivan released this statement in response to Bradley's comments:

"Jeb Bradley's response shows that he is happy to be part of the problem, not part of the solution. Jeb has chosen to put partisan loyalty ahead of public integrity. That's inexecusable".

"Contrary to Jeb Bradley's assertions, the calls for sanctions against Tom
DeLay are not a rush to judgement. Tom DeLay has been admonished by the House
Ethics Committee on four separate occassions, and he is currently the subject of
a criminal investigation by the district attorney in Austin, Texas".

"We should demand the highest standards of ethical conduct from our elected
leaders. By making excuses for someone like Tom DeLay, Jeb Bradley has become a
willing participant in a culture of corruption and complacency".
