The way Texas law works, the DA for the state capitol (Austin, TX) has jurisdiction over prosecuting political corruption. Ronnie Earle is only a nominal Democrat and is hated and feared by both parties, because he is probably the only honest man in Texas politics, who routinely slaps people from both parties in jail. Tom Delay runs a political machine based on corporate money, which is illegal. Delay esentially runs a money laudering operation, in which he funnels this illegal corporate money to candidates running for Congress, which is why the Congressmen are putting the fix in for him at the Federal level - they were bribed. Delay hasn't managed to bribe the Travis County DA, who is going after him for the laundered money Delay hands out to Texas Congressmen. Earle has already indicted Delay's bagmen, and he is going to get Delay too. No man truly deserves it more. Of all people in government, no one man is more responsible for the corporate takeover of politics. He is also a fascist in every sense of the word, and desires only one thing - a Republican One Party State, to the point of dictatorship. I hope the bastard rots in jail. Was that "inflammatory" enough for you pal?
