Meet Chris HOMAN, the bugman's THUG-ORGANIZER
Edited on Fri Apr-07-06 09:36 AM by UTUSN
This is OUTRAGEOUS. Will Wolf and Tweety ask Bugman about how Xtian his followers are? Tweety gushed, "You were so proud of your foster home project. I was there. Tell me about it" and "I owe you."

Of course, in today's paper, the THUG ORGANIZER, Chris HOMAN, campaign manager, said, "...he organized the protest through phone calls and e-mails, but Delay didn't know about it." Yeah, right.

Of course, the headline in today's paper was, "Protesters heckle Lampson during news conference. DeLay's campaign staff organizes supporters' rally" ---------not, vicious-THUGS-brownshirt-opponent's-rally.

This creep is a ROVE-wannabe who hasn't learned how to cover his hand yet.

Anti-DeLay, Anti-Lampson Rallies
I'm going to step on some toes here. But what I'm about to say needs saying.

Holding a counter rally to Nick Lampson's little soiree today in Sugar Land was not a good idea. It simply lends credence and sympathy to his campaign. It wins no supporters. It wins no votes.

In a very important time where Fort Bend voters are actually faced with a VERY important choice of who their next party chairman will be, the person who will be most responsible in our county for helping to choose our next Congressman... many DeLay loyalists took time out of their busy work schedules to protest a man whose campaign was gasping for air and clutching at straws for attention.

I'm sorry. I apologize if I have offended anyone by speaking out so strongly. But today's actions were a bad idea. Bad for Tom DeLay's reputation. Bad for the reputation of Fort Bend Republicans. And bad for the notion of letting Lampson just wither away into oblivion as we draw into November.

Sure, I wasn't there. I don't know who pushed who. I don't know who hit what. I don't know what was said about your wife, or your momma, or your faith, or your heritage.

But I do know that it wasn't at all necessary for there to be a counter-protest organized by the remains of the DeLay campaign. Tom DeLay has quit. Tom DeLay has moved out of our community. Tom DeLay has stepped aside to let someone else fill his place. That person isn't going to be Nick Lampson, not by a longshot.

Look folks... I know the emotions are high! I know it SUCKS to see a GOP giant like DeLay resign his office. I know you are feeling charged up, ready to stick it to the libs, ready to fight for your principles...

But there are other ways. More important ways. Less distracting ways.

I know most of the people who were rallying against Lampson. They're good people. They have the best interests of our party and our nation at heart.

But I think this was a waste of time, and it has backfired horribly. Cindy Sheehan-like protests and attention tactics aren't what our party should be about, and we should learn from her QUICK fall from grace, just how much the public really cares about such demonstrations. ....

Actually... The People Who Are Probably The Most Upset Are...
Those who gave beaucoup bucks to the Tom DeLay legal defense fund. And those who gave beaucoup bucks to the Tom DeLay Campaign Committee
.

Also, I wonder if Chris Homan's feted campaign software is going to be made available to any of the candidates for a special, or the candidate in November?

http://citizenoutreachblog.com/?p=59

.... “DeLay manager Chris Homan says one of his favorite methods of building up a database are ‘return devices,’ tear-off forms on campaign mail that let people check off whether they’d like to receive bumper stickers or want to volunteer to help the campaign. . . . Campaigns have always been more a technical achievement than an art form, and Mr. DeLay’s victory demonstrates there is no substitute for good old-fashioned get-out-the-vote efforts.”

Actually... The People Who Are Probably The Most Upset Are...
Those who gave beaucoup bucks to the Tom DeLay legal defense fund. And those who gave beaucoup bucks to the Tom DeLay Campaign Committee.
