Tom Delay talked more today about the editorial he wrote this week at Town Hall titled “The Attorney General scandal Is Not About Gonzales”. The controversial editorial appeared to ruffle a few feathers on the Left.
Delay argues his points on FOX News earlier today:
Here’s a summary of Tom Delay’s argument:
In one controversy after another, Democrat leaders in the last 40 years have shown themselves almost wholly without any compass other than partisanship.
Nixon obstructed justice to cover up a scandal, Democrats hounded him from office; Clinton did the same thing, Democrats rallied to his defense.
G. Gordon Liddy tried to steal stuff from the DNC, he’s a pariah; Sandy Berger successfully stole stuff from the 9/11 Commission, he’s a hero.
Ronald Reagan says he wants to reform welfare, he’s a racist; Bill Clinton says he wants to reform welfare, he’s a visionary.
Sen. Robert Torricelli quits his reelection race in New Jersey, Democrats demand the party replace him with a better candidate; I quit my reelection race in Texas, Democrats demand that Republicans not be given the same opportunity.
Clarence Thomas is incredibly accused of sexual harassment, Democrats fly into a rage; Bill Clinton is credibly accused of sexual assault, Democrats play deaf.
Bill Clinton says Saddam Hussein needs to go, Democrats rattle their sabers; George W. Bush actually does something about it, Democrats howl.
Ouch! It’s hard to argue with that.
