Ever since he was a young man, he and his wife have taken in foster kids. Not just little kids — older kids — sometimes what others call "dangerous kids." He gives them a good home and good opportunities and, for many, they go on to form a good life.
He did the same for harassed Jewish families during the height of the Soviet Union (search). Some he helped secret out. He forced a Republican president to talk about them, save them and ultimately free them.
At one point, this born-again Christian even helped arrange a Passover Seder for a Jewish family that had never had the privilege.
He's helped minority-owned businesses cut through red tape and have a fighting chance and helped others get the government off their back so they could get on their feet.
He gives a lot to charity, but tells those charities not to say a word about who's the one giving.
He comes from a party that many say is all about the rich, but most of the time he devotes himself to helping the poorest of the poor.
He's given unwed mothers a chance and those from broken homes a hope.
You might know him. His name is Tom DeLay.

Neil, what took you so long?
It may be that a big part of why dems hate Delay, and proacticing Christians as well, is that they see these people as interlopers, people who are usurping the "real" business of government which is "helping the underprivilaged."
How will people become completely dependant on government if Christians and other decent people actually give directly to charities, and help people directly? It's only through the belief that if not for government redistribution of wealth (with a bit siphoned off the top, of course), nothing would ever get to the poor, as people are too heartless and greedy to actually give of themselves.
Simply put, decent people are a threat to democrats and their plans for society.

The lenghts the VRWC will go to support their evil minions is beyond the pale
Bill Clinton, at least give personal "counseling" to his young female interns when they needed him in a personal way

He's worse than a Christian, he's a Dominionist. That's were their venal hatred is coming from.
A practicing Christian is suspect.
Remember the terrible attacks on John Ashcroft for actually practicing his religion.
Ping to you!

.....All of this and Liberals still despise Tom Delay.....
Methinks you have it a little skewed. The problem is not hate, but fear.
People who fear for their lives do very strange things. The Rats look for the end of the tunnel and see only increasing blackness.

Thanks for the ping, Weegee. Yes, that Tom Delay is a menace to society, isn't he?
Dirty rotten menace I tell ya!
bttt
Tom Delay has stayed conservative which is why the left is out to get them. They know they can get to many "Republicans" (McCain, Hagel, etc) with some pressure on big issues.
