DeLay : House of Scandal

Tom DeLay’s House of Scandal : “See how your state Republicans have collaborated & directly benefited from Tom DeLay’s selling out of hard-working Americans. To put it plainly, DeLay’s Republican Congress doesn’t care about you. Their major legislation appears to be little more than a quid pro quo with huge special interests — with cynical indifference to the problems facing middle class Americans. As health care costs have continued to skyrocket, Republicans passed legislation that provided almost $140 billion in windfall profits for their donors in the pharmaceutical industry, while making it explicitly illegal for the federal government to bargain for lower prices and preventing ordinary seniors from importing FDA approved drugs from Canada at a lower cost. As millions of Americans lost their jobs in the Bush / DeLay economy, House Republicans gave away billions in taxpayer money to special interests like Enron. As millions more Americans struggled to make ends meet, Republicans cut the right to overtime pay for countless workers.”

I guess that’s what they meant by “compassionate conservatism” eh?
