Remember When ... ?

This blog has been calling for some time for Tim Johnson to give back the $25,000 he has received from corrupt Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay (more than any other Illinois representative).

Back in May, Illinipundit asked:
Ummmm, why should he give the money back?

DeLay hasn't even been indicted (except by the lying, partisan press).
I hope it's not impolite to mention that, as we all know, DeLay was indicted this week for his role in laundering corporate campaign contributions. And more Republicans are starting to give back the money from the corrupt DeLay machine.

As Mr. Johnson remains silent, and keeps DeLay's money, even conservatives may wonder if he is really serving his constituents. Consider the thoughts of the Lansing State Journal:
On DeLay: Mid-Michigan Republicans can find a better person to lead us

[Central Michigan's four Republican Congressmen] all claim the same mantle before area voters ... of being sober, prudent, Midwestern conservatives; people of trust and honor.

Yet, where is the prudence, where is the conservatism, in their previous support of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas?

The people of Houston sent DeLay to Congress. That's their call.

But Rogers, Camp, Ehlers, Schwarz and their Republican colleagues made DeLay majority leader. Why are area voters being tied to this man? ...

[H]ow many mid-Michigan voters believe, as DeLay claims, that the federal budget has no fat in it? How many voters believe, as DeLay claims, that Congress is better able to determine a woman's mental state than her own doctors? And how many mid-Michigan voters really think Tom DeLay is the best representative of their views in Washington?
Please, Mr. Johnson. Give Tom DeLay's money back.

I think, given the dubiousness of the charge and the obvious political motivation of the DA, waiting for conviction might be prudent.

That will never satisfy you, but you're probably convinced that all GOP money is dirty, while George Soros should be allowed to spend $50 million however he pleases.

I'm not sure I see how the charges are dubious or politically motivated. The paper trail is there, so it is pretty clear that DeLay's PAC committed a crime. Whether he is convicted will depend on the evidence of his knowledge of the scheme. At this point, we don't know the strength of that evidence, but the grand jury does, and it hardly seems implausible that DeLay did in fact know what was going on. Sometimes the Bernie Ebbers defense works, and sometimes it doesn't. As to political motivation, it is well known that Earle has indicted more Democratic politicians than Republicans; moreover, if he had been seeking to make a political point, he could have brought the charges last year, when DeLay faced a close reelection campaign, rather than in an off year.

I can't imagine what relevance George Soros has. I don't think the Swift Boat Veterans prove DeLay is guilty, and I don't think Soros proves he's not.
