If I had been a Democrat in his district,
which I am not, I would have voted to Tom Delay (you dod not register in Texas) since
he is the easiest to defeat

Ah, Texas, my Texas.
Even though I'm from Texas, own land there, and had family there since around the time of the Revolution...I say let's give it back to whomever.
If Mexico won't take it then let's insist that Spain reclaim it.
The grand old tradition of ignorant dirt farmers who struck oil on their property and became even more ignorant political forces...and then were allowed to breed and propagate even more ignorance should be surgically removed from the rest of the country.

Yup, it's clear that those Texas voters are scum just like their representative.

How ironic that he skipped his victory party to attend a lobyist fundraiser.

If three others ran against Tom DeLay, that should have helped him win the primary. How those Texans can vote for such a dishonest man is beyond me. But he feeds the same lies as the White House just to become a congressman.
Maybe it is time to get out of this God forsaken country.

But... in listening to a Houston news radio station from my home in South Florida, it was mentioned that only (aprox) 16% of voters bothered showing up for the primary elections...Too bad the 84% of the populace that he's P O'd didn't bother to show up...Oh well, business as usual. db

No one in Texas expected Tom DeLay to lose in the Republican Primary. The real test will be when he runs in November.

I love this quote from the story:
'DeLay said voters in his Houston area district had rejected the "politics of personal destruction" to support him.'
Seems like the voters that supported him ARE supporting the politics of personal destruction. Isn't that Tom "Hammer" DeLay's major tactic against his opposition?
Frankly, folks, all this ballyhoo about a worthless primary is misplaced. The midterm elections in November are the critical event this year.
Get out the anti-Republican vote!

I'm a Dem (and not in his district), but I was "heartsick" that he won. I had hoped the Repugs would have at least "ousted" him. But, I'm dreaming and expecting Repugs to be "moral." I just hope that when the "final" election comes, that Texans (fair-minded ones)will prevail and that DeLay will experience his demise.

What is wrong with these people in Texas???
Is winning an election more important than integrity, honesty and real democracy? We are not talking about some damn Texas high school football game here. Sheesh!
If they are that blind and foolish, I wish they would secede from the Union - again!!!

Let,s see where the most corrupt politicans come from could that be Texas? I guess just because a proscuter says he's corrupt doesn't hold water there . So how many family members voted in the race? and how many times? did anybody count the ballots?
