We're LETTING Them Win

Let us recap; Tom DeLay has not been proven guilty of any wrongdoing whatsoever. He has not been caught asking for or receiving bribes. The partisan District Attorney that indicted him has not been able to submit a clear argument as to what Texas law he is meant to have broken and there is as yet no evidence that he had ever actually broken any law. He may have lost sight of some basic Conservative principles but no-one can claim that he neglected his constituents. To the end he was loyal to his fellow Republicans and even after he left the leadership he was a fantastic rallier on the House floor.

Can you imagine any major newspaper reprinting Salon's thoroughly insubstantiable story about George Allen's supposed racism with nothing more than a partisan hack and anonymous sources as the backbone of the article, if the target were a Democrat, especially if the overwhelming majority of those interviewed flatly disputed it? We watched them ignore, dismiss and attack 200 people who served in the same squadron in Vietnam as John Kerry when they were ready to go with memos written with Microsoft Word in 1973 against the President.

We now are watching them blurring distinctions to conflate both the innocuous if too-friendly e-mails that the GOP Leadership and FBI were aware of and the explicit IM messages that only came out into the open on Friday. That way, when they say that GOP Congressman so-and-so was aware of the e-mails six months ago they can still claim to be telling only the truth while confident that the vast majority of people, those paying only marginal attention to this entire mess would come to believe that the GOP as a whole was wilfully covering up for a sexual predator. Rasmussen's polling is already showing that 61% of the American people believe that the Republican Congressional Leadership has been covering up for Foley for years.

Let's try an ad campaign like the Swift Boat Vets. Let's find some way to urge Mehlman to get our guys to start lashing out at the New York Times the way Democrats regularly do at FOX News. Let's do something other than sitting back and waiting for them to ********* implode!
