Rahm React
ShareWashington, D.C. -- Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel today released the following statement on reports that Tom DeLay has chosen not to retain his position as Majority Leader in the House of Representatives.
"By forcing out Tom DeLay, Republicans have addressed a party problem but not the institutional problem of corruption that most troubles the American people. Over the past six years we have seen that this Congress has acted at the behest and request of the special interests and ignored the challenges that face American families. It is not possible for Republicans to address the interests of the American people when they keep in place a philosophy to openly and aggressively recruit the special interests on K Street as a central part of their party machinery. With the permanence of their special interest philosophy, a change in the Republican cast of characters simply doesn't matter," said Emanuel.
