Adios DeLay, You Won't Be Missed

In his closing speech, Tom Delay (R-TX) said:
"The common lament over the recent rise in political partisanship is often nothing more than a veiled complaint about the recent rise of political conservatism".
This describes why Tom DeLay was such a destructive force for democracy in America. He would not hesitate to pull any stunt if it helped in his goal for conservative hegemony. No bribe was not worth taking, no campaign contribution not worth grabbing. DeLay was a prototype of the prostitution that occurs in the U.S. Congress. Money over principle was his motto and has sadly been embraced by much of the Congress. The dollarization he espoused has nearly destroyed the republican democracy of America. It will be a long time before America has recovered from the themes DeLay believed should run America: money and power for no other sake than their own. I'm glad he's gone. Once Bush is gone maybe America can start recovering from their legacy.
