Please see to it that more articles are published in this fine man’s defense. THANK YOU!!! br> — Robert Davis /p> p> Ben Stein, as usual, nails it in his April 12 missive “The Truth About DeLay.” We now learn that certain “Republicans” are tempering their support of DeLay as the media-created firestorm surrounding him starts to give off heat. Shays (predictably) and Santorum (less predictably) have made public comments in the last few days distancing themselves from DeLay. As one very angry supporter of the Republican Party, who has already seen our “leadership” cave on Specter’s chairmanship and apparently on judicial filibusters as well, I’ve got a real simple message: If the Republican Party does not start hammering back at the Democrat hacks and leftist media and “save” DeLay, it will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. If it makes no difference electing a br> Republican President and a Republican majority in Congress, then I’ve got better things to do on election day! br> — Dave Mills br> Rolla, Missouri
