If a
person who publicly proclaims that he no longer lives in Texas can't
get off the ballot without making it a one candidate race because he can't
prove conclusively that he won't be a resident of Texas on election day, then I
should be able to get an absentee ballot to vote in Texas unless it can be
proven conclusively that I won't be a resident of Texas on election day. Sure, I’m moving to Texas (wink, wink).
The
incredible disregard for anything even resembling consistency in letting
Lautenberg replace Torricelli even though it clearly broke New Jersey election
law to do so and then jury-rigging (Yes, I know it was just judges. Think McGiver.) some flimsy interpretation of
the U. S. Constitution to nullify Texas election law so DeLay can’t get off the
ballot without leaving his party off the ballot is absolutely astounding! The "goal" in both cases was supposedly to make
sure the people had a choice. This
points out, again, how important it is to have judges that won’t use their
position for partisan gains.
The next move
the Republicans need to make is an all out assault to expose Ronnie Earl (the District
Attorney who engineered the trumped up indictment of Tom Delay) for the
complete fraud and political hack that he is.
This should become the nationally known “culture of corruption” story
that the Democrats were hoping they would be able to use against the
Republicans until “Dollar Bill” Jefferson’s frozen assets got defrosted by the
FBI.
