DeLay's Departure WILL Help the Democrats

In this wacky world of GOP politics, up means down and winning means losing.
So often, one can listen to a GOP politician speak and assume the opposite of what they say as truth.
Case in point, Tom DeLay.
In his pathetic exit speech, he said he didn't want his re-election race to turn into an advantage for the Democrats who'd use his campaign as a symbol of the GOP's culture of corruption.
Does that arrogant clown actually think his exit will make us forget what a crook he and his GOP cronies are?
Like convicted felon and GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff, DeLay is an indicted criminal whose time in power was running out.
Assuming he's guilty is about as sure a thing as assuming Saddam Hussein is guilty, yet we will not find a GOP who would verify that assumption.
Surely, DeLay's vacant seat will be filled by a Democrat.
Many open seats will be filled by Democrats come November.
It's not that the Democrats have done such a great job of pointing out their differences or clamoring for GOP accountability- it's that vermin like DeLay and Abramoff have done all the heavy lifting for them.

With very few exceptions, the worst Democrat is a better choice than the best Republican. At least the bad Democrats may have the sense to vote with their smarter colleagues.
I may be disappointed with many Democrats, but I loathe the Republicans. All of them.

Wowza!
I hope NOBODY lays low on this blog- we need all the spit n' fire we can muster.
I happen to agree that the Democrats have been way too timid about confronting BushCo, and that they have yet to come up with cohesive plans on much of anything.
Fortunately, with the Republicans fucking up so many things so badly, the Demos won't need many plans.
Dusty, you'll be excited to know that my sister (BigSis) is very slow to anger (unlike her little sister) so if she's saying things in an aggressive way, it's a sign that the sleeping lions are awakening and getting very vocal.
People like me get angry over tiny political missteps.
People like my sister have longer fuses and much bigger bundles of TNT.
Dusty, have faith in the Democrats. As they see the public's hunger for blood, they'll finally start to feed us.
