GOP may change rule to aid DeLay / Effort to protect his role in House even if indicted in Texas

House Republicans proposed changing their rules Tuesday night to allow members indicted by state grand juries to remain in a leadership post, a move that would benefit Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, in case he is charged by a Texas grand jury that has indicted three of his political associates, according to GOP leaders.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, said Tuesday night: "If they make this rules change, Republicans will confirm yet again that they simply do not care if their leaders are ethical."

These are the people that got elected because of "Moral Values?" This is just more of the same, a feeling of entitlement.... Seems to me like DeLay and the Republicans are spending some of their political capital. But like I tell my kids - spend your money wisely, don't spend it on junk. Sounds like the Republicans could do to heed that advice.
