If one of the things…

…that make you go 'hmm…' is the reason Tom DeLay seems to retain so much support within the House Republican Caucus, the Stakeholder offers a reasonable explanation...

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's political fundraising committee gave $144,010 to Republican federal candidates last month, according to the committee's latest reports.

The committee, Americans for a Republican Majority, reported giving $137,701 in direct contributions to 15 House Republicans or their political committees. The re-election committees of Rep. Henry Bonilla, R-Texas, Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., Geoff Davis, R-Ky., and Joe Schwarz, R-Mich., received contributions totaling $10,000 each, according to PoliticalMoneyLine, a Web site that tracks political fundraising and spending.

This may be the best Congress the Bugman's money can buy, but the best Congressmembers aren't for sale...and they aren't Republicans.
