Tom Delay completely delusional

Some juicy tidbits from his recent talk at a Family Research Council breakfast recently.

"And I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, one thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo, to elevate the visibility of what’s going on in America that Americans would be so barbaric as to pull a feeding tube out of a person that is lucid and starve them to death for two weeks."

"This is exactly the issue that’s going on in America, of attacks against the conservative movement, against me and against many others. The point is, the other side has figured out how to win and defeat the conservative movement, and that is to go after people personally, charge them with frivolous charges, link that up with all these do-gooder organizations funded by George Soros, and then get the national media on their side."

COMMENT: The fact that Delay has taken illegal funds from lobbyists means that he is a victim of a vast conspiracy? Can you say paranoia?

Interesting that he let this slip ...
'the other side has figured out how to win and defeat the conservative movement'

Also interesting that now, in the glorious pinnacle of neoconservatism, at the absolute apex of their power, they still think they are persecuted victims! They have all the branches of government (and yes, that includes the Supreme Court - 7 of 9 justices were appointed by Republican presidents), yet they are this victimized minority.

Delay is just trying to deflect from his complete lack of morals. Pathetic.

In the same session, Tony Perkins said that the Democrats just want to take out Delay because he wants to outlaw abortion. No, I think that Democrats want to take him out because he is the sleazy pitbull of the GOP, the one who twists arms, funnels funds, the one who embarrassed lobbyists by the blatantness of his open talk about the willingness to be paid off, the one who used federal funds and facilities to interfere in the gerrymandering debacle in Texas... The Democrats lost seats in the House in 2004 exclusively because of that highly questionable redistricting, which Delay arguably masterminded. Abortion?

Crocodile tears.

Actually, Delay is a Bug Man, like that guy on King of the Hill. The Exterminator. He got pissed off when the government took away his DDT, and wouldn't let him poison the environment anymore. Boo hoo. That's such a crime against God.

Anyway, did you read those articles on Craddick and Ronnie Earle in Texas Monthly a little while back? Good stuff.
