POLITICS - DCCC Launches New Web Site Feature Slamming DeLay© National Journal Group, Inc.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee launched a new feature on its Web site today that targets House Majority Leader DeLay on ethics. "Tom DeLay's House of Scandal" is largely a compilation of previously reported news stories but also includes interactive features that link DeLay to GOP members of Congress and Republican lobbyists and fundraisers. Democratic strategist James Carville unveiled the Web site, and called it a "factual compilation of documented allegations." Carville argued that Republicans are exerting all of their political muscle right now to protect DeLay from potential ethics investigations and ignoring policy issues in the process. "They need to spend less time protecting Tom DeLay and more time on the American people," he said, adding, "[Republicans] are going to lose a whole bunch of seats in 2006." A National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman said Democrats are playing politics with the Ethics Committee. "If they wanted answers, they'd let the Ethics Committee meet and form an opinion," he said. "If they spent as much time on this as they did on raising money and recruiting candidates, I'd be worried."
