Throwing In The Towel

I can’t say I didn’t see this one coming. The Democratic Party war machine has been running in high gear for months to get DeLay. Here’s my prediction: in the coming months, look for Texas prosecutor (and Democratic party member) Ronnie Earle to drop charges against DeLay or at the very least, DeLay will be proven innocent. I also predict you’ll not hear a single word of it in the MSM.

DeLay Calls It Quits
_{April 4, 2006}

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas, one of the most powerful members of Congress, is now ready to call it quits in the face of mounting legal problems and a tough reelection campaign.

Twelve years after helping Republicans win control of the House of Representatives, the former majority leader, long called “The Hammer” for his hardball political tactics, intends on Tuesday to announce he is ending his bid for a 12th term and will leave Congress as early as next month, party aides said.

DeLay’s decision highlights the problems faced by President George W. Bush’s fellow Republicans in the scandal-rocked Congress. “Tom DeLay’s announcement is just the beginning of the reckoning of the Republican culture of corruption that has gripped Washington for too long,” Democratic Party spokeswoman Karen Finney said.

One DeLay aide said the politician—who in the past two years has been admonished, indicted and forced from House leadership—plans to make the announcement on his congressional Web site. “The fear of the party losing the seat was a driving force in his decision,” another aide said.

DeLay informed his staff and House Republican leaders of his decision on Monday—at about the same time he discussed his plans in an interview with Time magazine. “I’m going to announce tomorrow that I’m not running for reelection and that I’m going to leave Congress,” DeLay told the magazine, which posted the interview on its Web site.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
