DeLay Connects Schiavo With His Legal/Ethical Problems

DeLay confirmed that the 70 percent of Americans who believe that Congress put their nose into the Schiavo case for political reasons are correct. Tom DeLay says:"One thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo to elevate the visibility of what is going on in America, that Americans would be so barbaric as to pull a feeding tube out of a person that is lucid and starve them to death. This is exactly the issue that is going on in America, of attacks against the conservative movement, against me and against many others. The point is the other side has figured out how to win and defeat the conservative movement," he said after mentioning Schiavo, "and that is to go after people personally, charge them with frivolous charges and link that up with all these do-gooder organizations funded by George Soros and then get the national media on their side. That whole syndicate that they have going on right now is for one purpose and one purpose only, and that's to destroy the conservative movement. It's to destroy conservative leaders."

Get that? In the midst of talking about Terri Schiavo, he suddenly changed topics and started talking about himself -- about how he is being investigated for illegal fundraising activities in Texas, and ethics violations against Congress.
