Tom DeLay Attacks Newt, Hastert, Armey and Bush

[Rose Siding]

Novakula:

...Gingrich is not the only erstwhile political ally to feel DeLay's wrath. In No Retreat, No Surrender: One American's Fight, DeLay is even more critical of his predecessor as majority leader, Dick Armey, and assails President Bush for being more compassionate than conservative. Even DeLay's handpicked speaker, J. Dennis Hastert, is accused along with Gingrich and Armey of opening the door to the Democratic purge of him.

...He puts most blame "at Newt Gingrich's door." DeLay writes: "He knew nothing about running meetings and nothing about driving an agenda." He adds: "Nearly every other day he had a new agenda, a new direction he wanted us to take. It was impossible to follow him."

DeLay also declares "our leadership was in no moral shape to press" impeachment against President Bill Clinton. Writing well before Gingrich's admission for the first time last week, DeLay asserts: "It is now public knowledge that Newt Gingrich was having an affair with a staffer during the entire impeachment crisis."

DeLay refers to Armey as "so blinded by ambition as to be useless to the cause," a "poor leader" who had "few fresh ideas." He adds that Armey "resented anyone he thought might get in the way of his becoming speaker of the House. Beware the man drunk with ambition."

...Deriding Bush's self-identification as "a compassionate conservative," DeLay asserts "he has expanded government to suit his purpose, especially in the area of education. He may be compassionate, but he is certainly no conservative in the classic sense."

9. You just know something is wrong with the Repubic Party when they

get chastised by Tom Delay on issues of ethical behavior. One of the most corrupt, mean, lying individuals to walk the halls of Congress lecturing his fellow repubics on morality is just too funny.

And I noticed Delay's "outrage and decency" didn't stop him for aiding and abetting Grinrich at every step in the impeachment of Clinton. Man, don't ya just hate hypocritical, fake christians? He is the high priest of situational Christianity - if the situation calls for holy and pius talk for the sheeple, fine; if not, screw, lie, cheat, and steal. And then screw, lie, cheat and steal some more.

7. Novak is reporting this? RIP! Is it going to get better than this? The

police are missing here. Lock-step philosophy and policy dynamited and collapsing. What's to come of this? Rove must be busy - too busy to corral and direct all these maverick, formerly neat and tight workers for the cause.

Someone should get to Novak, Armey, Gingrich, Hastert now for comments before the thumb comes down.
