The Bug Man is threatened

Texas crooked flat earther, Tom Delay, is having to fight to retain his seat this time around and part of the problem may be the redistricting he forced on Texas. Irony sweet irony.
Embattled Texas Republican DeLay Running Hard

U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has coasted to easy wins in recent elections, but this year he is running hard as his once-ascendant political career has hit a rough patch.

In contrast to past campaigns, the powerful Republican from Texas is pounding the pavement of his suburban Houston district, going house to house in search of votes, and flooding local television with campaign ads.

DeLay has represented his district since 1984 and is accustomed to rolling up big victories. He got 60 percent of the vote in 2000 and 63 percent two years ago.

He is expected to win again this year, but not as handily as in the past.

"I think at the end of the day, Tom DeLay will win. But his margin of victory will be much smaller than usual," said St. Thomas University political scientist Jean-Philippe Faletta.

Based on some polls, there is a possibility DeLay could get less than 50 percent of the vote because the ballot also includes a strong independent candidate and a Libertarian.

University of Houston political scientist Richard Murray believes DeLay is running hard because he fears a narrow win could weaken him in Congress.

"His constituency is the Republicans in Washington," he said. "If they see him as being damaged here in Texas on top of other things --it would not be good for the Majority Leader to just get a plurality win in his home district."

If we can't get rid of the Bug Man it would at least be good to have him neutered.
