Rebels in G.O.P. Call for DeLay to Be Replaced "A rebellious band of House Republicans moved Friday to bar Representative Tom DeLay of Texas from regaining his position as majority leader, demanding a vote to replace him permanently at the top of the party hierarchy. Acting in the wake of Tuesday's guilty plea to corruption charges by the lobbyist Jack Abramoff, once a close ally of Mr. DeLay, Representatives Jeff Flake of Arizona and Charles Bass of New Hampshire began circulating a petition on Friday to collect 50 signatures needed to call a party leadership election. By midafternoon, they had commitments from about two dozen lawmakers, aides said. "Rightly or wrongly, Mr. DeLay is seen as the public face of Washington, and it is not healthy right now," Mr. Flake said. "We need a course correction."

This country will finally get its groove back once we get the Republican majority out of power and Americans are finally starting to wake up to that. With Bush in the White House and Republican majorities in both houses of Congress we've not only ruined the country financially but we've lost respect from every country in the world. If Democrats can regain the majority in Congress this November, which is doable but will be a stiff challenge, we can impeach Bush for his war crimes and start back on road to getting the country back to the solid position financially and with world-wide respect, Bill Clinton left us with, 5 long years ago.
