In a speech to the Heritage Foundation on Thursday, Tom DeLay (indicted alleged money launderer), gave a rousing spiel about how the Republicans in DC are moving ahead with their “Reform, Restrain, and Redesign” plan to fix out of control spending. He then went on to blame the Democrats for congress’s unwillingness – that’s the Republican-controlled congress – to straighten out the mess they’ve made.
He also blamed Democrats, complaining that they haven’t offered any suggestions on how to cut spending. He said they created a congressional budget process that makes it difficult to cut spending.
“We’ve been operating off a Congress designed by Democrats,” he said.
The Republicans took control of Congress in 1995.
Would you like some cheese with that whine, Tom?
Perhaps Mr Indicted should help out his Republican buddies by giving them some handy tips on how to move money around without anybody noticing.
With a plan that’s more rightly called “Resist, Refuse and Recuse”, the Republicans have once again shown where their loyalties lie and it’s not with what’s best for the American people.
They resist calls to cut pork. They refuse to raise taxes during wartime. They recuse themselves from any responsibility for their gross mismanagement of the people’s money and their bloated government while they happily slash entitlement programs to punish the poor and middle class.
Yet, DeLay spouts:
But what about the so-called new Democrats who were supposed to moderate their party? What happened to all the talk after the 2004 elections that Democrats would be more solution-oriented and less partisan? Where are the moderate, accountable New Democrats who could help us restrain spending, reform antiquated federal programs, and offset the costs of the looming Katrina recovery? Have the so-called “Blue Dogs” now become the “Red-Ink Dogs”? Have these responsible moderates really thrown in their lot with the Michael Moore, Howard Dean extreme?
Which part of YOUR REPUBLICANS ARE THE ONES IN POWER don’t you get, Tom?
Now that you’ve resigned as majority leader, maybe you should see if you can get a stint in Vegas. I hear there’s a market there for has beens.
It ups ones creativity….makes one nuts too! Creatively nuts!
because pretty soon it’s nothing but prison hooch!
Shorter Tom DeLay: When we fuck it up and you don’t fix it, it’s all your fault.
If you think that’s bad, this morning on the Today show, they had a Republican (was it Pat Buchanan? I don’t know) saying that the congressional Democrats were the ones responsible for the war in Iraq, because they voted to give the pResident a blank check to go to war.
I don’t remember any Republicans voting against the war, do you>
And those same Democrats had to twist Bush’s arm to get him to go to war.
Why, Bush was just suckered by those Dems and all their WMD lies, wasn’t he?
</snark>
They pulled the wool right over his eyes. Just like they’re trying to do with global warming, more lies spread by the left.
And there he is, a devout man of faith, attacked by Liberals for daring to protect the US from the likes of Saddam and all those six-year-old insurgent terrorists we’ve been blowing up in Iraq…even his dear friend Karl isn’t immune to the vicious campaign of these Democratic thugs!
We Make Love, Not War. We Make Love everywhere all time. We Make Love in the oval office. Make Love, Not War!
Maybe that’s why we’re smiling, and they aren’t…
This is laughable:
He also blamed Democrats, complaining that they haven’t offered any suggestions on how to cut spending.
Because Repugs are just sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for suggestions from Democrats which will, of course, be implemented immediately.

As evidenced by Bill Frist’s warm response to the calling of an executive Senate session earlier this week. 🙂
Excellent!
Christ! He sounds just like the alcoholic who blames his friends and family for not stopping his drinking.
What a freakin’ asswipe.
Check me out.
Pathetic! I hope he has someone who will tell him what he said when he was unconscious.
This is an opening for the Democrats to lay-out a complete economic policy reversing the fiscal insanity of the last 5 years.
When your opponent puts his foot in his mouth it’s time to shove it down his throat.
