It was Tom DeLay, supposed conservative Republican leader of the House, who said that the bloated, immoral and fundamentally socialist federal budget had no more room for cuts. He said that everything that could be cut out of it had been cut out of it.

It was, of course, a preposterous statement, a sign of just how dead the Republican spirit has become.

I agree with much of this article, however, when you read the actual Delay statement, it was extremely tongue in cheek - ie - sarcasm. The author must double check his facts.

So how would you market conservitive ideas to the liberal democratic base? Sounds like the Republicans want to stay in office long enough to at least accomplish something. In order to stay in office they must convince those who normally vote for socialists to vote for Republicans.
