Wilson Stands Firm with Majority Leader

Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) expressed his support for Majority Leader Tom DeLay: "Under Congressman Tom DeLay's leadership, the House has provided tax relief creating three million jobs, prescription drug coverage for needy citizens, and a strengthened military to protect American families. "Additionally, Majority Leader DeLay and his wife Christine play a valuable role in their community. As foster parents, they have devoted themselves to improving the lives of abused and neglected children, and are now focusing their efforts on creating homes for foster children who need them. Their work is a true sign of compassion that is rarely recognized. "Congressman Tom DeLay has been called one of the most effective leaders in the history of the House of Representatives, and it is his effectiveness that motivates his critics. Radical liberals, such as George Soros, are leading a desperate smear campaign against a decent man who has delivered remarkable results. His critics are inspired by bitterness, hatred, and partisanship. Their smears will fail, just as they failed against Vice President Cheney, Dr. Rice, Secretary Rumsfeld and former Attorney General Ashcroft." ###
