"Mea Culpa? What Does that Mean?" Tom DeLay

"Mea Culpa? What Does that Mean?" Tom DeLay

tom delayTom DeLay, my personal old congressional
representative is getting great exposure for his new book,
"No Retreat, No Surrender," which is about the silliest book
ever written. [for THE silliest book ever written click
here). Simply put, this book is about everyone being wrong
but Tom DeLay.

One of the silliest areas has DeLay admitting his ubitquous
wife cheating in both Texas and his first years in
Washington. How he would "drink 10 to 12 martinis" and have
so much hot tube sex he gained the name "Hot Tub Tom"
throughout the Beltway. He then goes on to call Bill Clinton
"slimy" for his sexual dalliances.

The most serious part of the book is when he finishes
blaming everyone else (including Newt Gingrich) for just
about everything, he says of fellow Right-wing loon ***
Armey, "He is a gifted man, but a man so blinded by ambition
as to be useless to the cause. Beware the man drunk with
ambition." On the surface one is astounded at the stones for
this man claiming "blind ambition" on anyone else, but taken
in context this is the statement that best defines Tom
Delay."

Though the Iraq War was the deciding factor in the last
election, it was (and still is) DeLay who is most
responsible for the fall (and still falling) Republican
Party. Though the Abramoff Affair was about Jack Abramoff
and Ralph Reed ripping off a few Indian Tribes, the court
proceedings and follow up press gave us Tom DeLay's play
book, step by step.

This ultimate True Believer is after one thing, the creation
of a one party conservative Christian nation, which he will
go to any swarmy means to arrive at. DeLay is right about
Armey in his quote, DeLay's ambition though blind, is not
about himself, but rather turning America into a Right-wing
Theocracy. I know how cliche that sounds, but there is no
way around it, that is the essence of the blind ambition,
the cause, man and the plan.

DeLay was smart and swarmy enough to find the road to enact
his dream, take control of K-Street. The Washington
lobbyists, where most all election money comes from
(statistically, those with the most TV ads win). This is a
brief outline of how he did it. It happened within days of
his becoming House Majority Whip in the 1994 Gingrich
Revolution. He let it be known loudly and publicly that if
K-Street wanted to gain the favor of the new very
conservative congress, in which he personally controlled the
venue, they would abide by his rules:

1) Lobbyists would henceforth halt payments to any liberal
or Democrat causes.

2) Lobbyists would donate heavily to a list of Right-wing
organizations and PACS which DeLay drew up and gave them.

3) Lobbyists with employment openings would hire only
conservatives named by DeLay.

Within months, K-Street did his bidding and Tom Delay had
control of most of the election money in America. He and the
GOP held that power until just before the 2006 election when
the Abbramoff Affair became common knowledge. His next game
was to gerrymander the state of Texas to bounce most Texas
Democrats out of the House, he succeeded but had not seen
himself getting bounced out too.

DeLay is now out on his own (until he is sent to jail here
in Texas). His new plan is to create an online organization
modeled after MOVEON.ORG to make America even better than
Iran.
