Ronnie Earle Casts God as Democrat. Mel Gibson Stunned.
Prosecutor Ronnie Earle, who will go to any lengths to smear his opponents, is apparently doing it for God, as revealed in his upcoming movie. In an article by Byron York who has seen clips from this soon to be hit attacking Republican Tom Delay, Earle is filmed saying:
The root of the evil of the corporate and large-monied interest domination of politics is money. This is in the Bible. This isn't rocket science. The root of all evil truly is money, especially in politics. People talk about how money is the mother's milk of politics. Well, it's the devil's brew. And what we've got to do, we've got to turn off the tap. It's important that we forgive those who come to us in a spirit of contrition and the desire for forgiveness. That's important. But if they don't, then God help them.
Well, it's the devil's brew and it's right here in Travis County. Hey, I feel a song coming on (with apologies to "The Music Man"!)
Wow, I need to rest after singing that. I tell you, this Earle is one guy who can make Mel Gibson and Michael Moore both envious at the same time. Use God and attack Republicans--a great formula and what a switch! But, I didn't think that Democrats believed in God, but maybe I'm wrong since they use his name with the best swear words.
To go on and to add balance to the production, the article adds:
The film features commentary from a number of DeLay critics, including Lou Dubose, author of The Hammer: Tom DeLay: God, Money, and the Rise of the Republican Congress, columnist Molly Ivins, defeated political rival Martin Frost, Craig McDonald of Texans for Public Justice, and others.
Some people, though, seem less excited and throw water on the parade with logical comments like this:
"The problem that Ronnie has is that he sees something that he believes is wrong," says Roy Minton, an attorney for one of the organizations investigated by Earle. "If you ask him, when he says, 'They're doing this' and 'They're doing that,' you say, 'Alright, let's assume they're doing that, Ronnie, is that against the law?' He will say it's wrong. You say, 'Well, OK, let's assume that it's wrong. Where is it that it is against the law?'"
Just wait. I'm sure that Earle can find some activist judge or locate some international law to interpret the law however he wants--for God. Hallelujah! Oh, we have trouble...with a capital 'T' and that rhymes with 'E' and that stands for Earle. But, just like in "The Music Man," what the Democrats think they see and what's reality are not the same. And, Democrats begin with 'D' and that rhymes with 'T'....
