Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has a way with words. His classic response to the light of day shining on his scurrilous behavior is to deny, deny, deny. Rather than respond to his lapse in ethics that continue beyond unanimously bipartisan admonishments by the United States House of Representatives, DeLay portrays himself as the perfect example of today's Republican Party values, morals and ethics. This is the Republican Party's idea of a leader, and DeLay's actions speak volumes about the party's vision for America.
Speaking at a weekly session with reporters, DeLay alternated between attacks on the news media and attacks on Democrats. "With all the partisan politics of personal destruction that the Democrats have announced and have carried through on, I have yet to be found breaking any House rules," he said. "It is very unfortunate that the Democrats have no agenda. All they can do is try to tear down the House and burn it down in order to gain power."

U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's federal leadership political fund apparently coordinated with a Texas committee to deliver $23,000 in contributions to Texas House candidates, according to documents filed in a civil lawsuit.The documents draw DeLay's Americans for a Republican Majority deeper into the ongoing controversy over whether Texans for a Republican Majority illegally used corporate money to help finance the GOP takeover of the Texas House in 2002. Republicans contend the money was spent legally.
DeLay, R-Sugar Land, and his aides have maintained that TRMPAC had nothing to do with his leadership political committee, ARMPAC, though some of his associates worked for both. But the new documents show a working relationship between the groups.
