Will the Republican Party will be better, without Mr.Delay?

Better.\n\nHe is too much of a distraction.  \n\nHe or his staff was too close to Abramoff.

Think before he acts/speaks... maybe consult with other republicans before he makes large decisions (like ports, harriet meyers)... "Have pitty on the working man" Randy Newman

Unfortunately the Republicans will again and even if its the Democrats it will not make any difference at all.  They are both made of the same material.  MONEY.  I'd like to see some real change with more independents and Libertarian Party members.

No.  His Republican party cost him his US Senate seat.  And that Webb was a good candidate.

Probably. The Republicans should just give it up and admit defeat.

It will unfortunately be a republican. They have every advantage and fixed florida last year so it will be JOHN McCAIN.

NO! He's a traitor to the Democratic Party.  The Republicans can have him since they love traitors.

Its getting harder to tell the difference. Republicans are going to get creamed this fall so they should enjoy it while they can.

how long will it take for republicans to use their brain? (that's of course...if they have one)

NO? It's usually Democrat or Republican and occasion Independent.  \n\nBut it would be nice to destroy the Republican Party.

Unfortunately, the loathsome fat piggy-man who is karl rove will likely not be indicted (he'll certainly never spend a day in jail, which is where he deserves to spend ALL of his remaining days). I realize it likely came across as sheer spin when it was announced but I believe he relinquished some of his duties in large part to gin up the hateful ANP (my moniker for the GOP; I think you can guess what it stands for, literally) campaign to hold onto the House and Senate in the coming elections. Dirty, negative attack campaigns have been this swine's bread-and-butter for his entire wretchedly evil and deeply unworthy life. Honestly, he is one of a handful of truly evil people in this world over whose death I would quite literally celebrate by uncorking a bottle of champagne. I'm not proud to say that but my hatred for these despicable, criminal people who have caused so much death and destruction and trampled over our Constitution runs that deep.\n\nOh, and in answer to your titular question, while the vile rove resembles a particularly hideous suckling pig, he is not being slow-roasted. Alas, I only wish that it were so.

True that. We're overdue for an Independent Party, or a Reform Party, or the Constitution Party. The DNC/GOP play us off on each other, or vainly try to, in hopes of duping us into 'voting' for more money for them and their ambitions. No accountability, and they've more or less worked together long enough to basically short out checks and balances. Right now, with the GOP in majority, they basically run things, so any griping should be more directed at the republicans, but save some for the dems too, wouldn't want em to feel left out! LOLOL\n\nI think the merit of the Independent Party concept is the idea of harkening back to the concept of independence, which sort of flies in the face of 'globalization', but we've seen how committed the politicians are to the public in the face of suitcases full of money. Iraq's a good example of that, mega-dollars for special interests in supporting the 'war effort', with zero public accountability. And, that's not all...these guys have a racket, and the only way to bust it up is to have an election, and impeachment hearings. That's where the voters come in, because at the end of the day, the worst corruption has been the collective ignorance and apathy of 'We, The People'. If you don't vote, don't read the issues, there's no way to have ANY clue about what might even be going on, or who's robbing the till the worst this week. Public accountability only comes when enough people decide to stand up together and say 'enough'. I'd say that the introduction of a new party, like the Independents, would do exactly that. FIRST, we fix america. THEN, help others.

"Will it be a landslide to the Democrats to teach the Republicans a lesson?"\n\nI SURELY HOPE SO!!!

Won't take long at all.  In fact prior to 9-11 not many Repubs liked him anyway.  Not many New Yorkers liked him before 9-11.

Its all just so wonderful isn't it?  In all seriousness, it is going to be little scary for the republicans for a while.  Yet, things will calm down and life will move on, and hopefully for the better.\n\nTake Care

Yes, Humanist.  \n\nYou were wrong.\n\nOnce upon a time, the Republican Party had a good direction, a good vision for America. \n\nThey have betrayed their own vision and betrayed America by thinking that the end justifies the means.

Yes.\n\nI've been encouraging people to get away from the Big Two parties for years.  And, this year, even though I'm the state PR coordinator for the Constitution Party, I ran on the Republican Party line (because the CP does not yet have a ballot line in Tennessee).\n\nThe GOP did not lift a finger to help my campaign, even though I stand for the same principles that they **claim** to stand for.\n\nThe Republicans use conservative Christians the way a wife-beater promises to "change".  Sadly, the conservatives respond the way the battered wife does:  by trying to "fix" the GOP, instead of getting a divorce.  It won't get better until the true conservatives get away from the Republican Party, which is controlled by the "forces of moderation" (read:  pro-abortion money).\n\nTrue conservatives will find a home in the Constitution Party.  This is especially true with the formation of the CP's National Veterans Coalition.\n\nHopefully, neither of the Big Two parties will have an occupant in the White House in the next administration!
