Facts on TRMPAC

Because the facts would tend to support Rep. Tom DeLay, the Boston Globe chooses to perpetuate the smear against him by incorporating the claims of DeLay's critics in news articles and dress the claims up as fact. No wonder so many unintelligent and uninformed people are running around the greater Boston area.

Again, for those that might be first time readers of ZACKlyRight, Travis County (TX) prosecutor, Democrat Ronnie Earle, thinks if A gives money to B so B can give money to C so C can give money to D all because A can't give money directly to D based on a law that was passed AFTER all the "giving" was completed, the only person to have committed a crime is E. I know, it's pretty unbelievable, huh? Well, that's a partisan prosecutor. And, that's a liberal media that should be laughing at this persecution instead of treating it like a serious crime, which it most certainly is not (but I'll wait for the trial just like I think the liberal media should).

Anyway, the letter:

Editor,

In "Court to consider faster DeLay trial (December 29, A3)", Mr. Bryan Bender writes, "(DeLay's) critics say that he overreached when in 2002 he and two associates . . . allegedly collected almost $200,000 in corporate donations intended for candidates running for the Texas Legislature. Such donations are illegal and the three are accused of sending the money to the Republican National Committee (RNC) in Washington, which in turn gave the exact amount to seven GOP candidates for the Texas House."

The facts laid out in the indictment are that six corporations donated $155,000 to a political action committee, Texans for a Republican Majority (TRMPAC), which then contributed $190,000 to the Republican National State Elections Committee (RNSEC), a branch of the RNC. The RNSEC then contributed $190,000 to seven candidates for the Texas House of Representatives. Rep. DeLay helped organize TRMPAC but it is a gross distortion of fact to imply DeLay ever took possession of any contributions and no one can seriously argue that $155,000 is "exactly" $190,000.

Why camouflage as fact what critics say when the actual facts are so readily available?

Of course, running into Democrats and liberals that get their "facts" from Boston Globe stories like this one continues to be extremely fun for me. (End of letter.)

I copied Mr. Bender; I'll let you know if he responds.

To the liberal extremists that think Rep. DeLay committed a crime, please let me know when and where I can exchange my $155,000 for your $190,000.
