Recent attention given to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, in the mainstream media is being orchestrated by Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., as a means to be sure the House is in Democratic hands when she runs for president in 2008, a source in the GOP leadership says.
Geopolitical analyst Jack Wheeler, publisher of intelligence website, To the Point, says one of DeLay's colleagues told him:
"Hillary's fingerprints are all over it. She has no intention of having to deal with an opposition party controlling the House as her husband did for six years and Ronald Reagan did for eight. She has a very clear plan for seizing control of the entire United States government, which includes orchestrating Democrat control of the House in 2006 so it is firmly in place when she is elected president in 2008."
Wheeler says such a scenario would ensure passage of the senator's so-called HillaryCare health-care legislation nationalizing medicine in the U.S.
"There was absolutely no doubt in [the source's] mind that Hillary is running – not will run, but already is running – for president in 2008," writes Wheeler in his column. "'This should be obvious to everyone,' he said, 'but what is not obvious is that's not all she's doing. Her focus and her goals go far beyond just the White House.'"
Continues Wheeler: "It is, then, at Hillary's direction that the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the entire Liberal Media apparatus are waging a relentless war upon House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. The charges against him are either inconsequential or hypocritical – huge front page outrage stories, for example, about him going on a foreign 'junket' with no criticism of Democrats who were on the very same trip, such as Nancy Pelosi. Last week the WaPo ran this above-the-fold headline piece thousands of words long that was pure recycled froth with no substance whatever.
"That's because the substance doesn't matter – all that matters is the attacks themselves, that they be kept up until more and more spineless pencil-necks like Connecticut Republicans Chris Shays and Rob Simmons break and crack under pressure. Hillary knows exactly what she is doing. Target the strongest force the GOP has in Congress – DeLay – keep targeting until Republicans surrender and retreat in disarray, then pick up the easy pieces in 2006."
DeLay has taken heat from both media and Democratic lawmakers for alleged ethics violations and his role in trying to save the life of Terri Schiavo.
"There's much more at stake than just Tom DeLay," Wheeler told WND.
I hope DeLay will survive and thrive!!!
Gosh...If Bush doesn't get his a$$ in gear on border control, we're liable to end up with "barrel legs" for president in 08.
It's not my fault!!! (I wasn't there, you can't prove anything)
I have it on good information that there is a certain person in the WH political office that feels that Delay is now a major threat to the President's agenda and that that person is in part responsible for some of the media attacks (by leaking info or telling where to look) in the hopes that Delay will step down. That's the reason some Republicans have been emboldened to speak ill of Delay. The WH told them they would be protected.
I trust my source far more than WND. Also, i could see Delay's people as a plant for this story. What better way to rally the troops than to say Hilary is responsible!
Whatever happens I hope it doesn't get too messy.
As someone on National Review pointed out, after 8 years of Clintons we now have a Republican Congress, White House and many more statehouses (as well as conservatives across the board) but the Clintons are still waving their crooked fingers; they're shameless. Expect more of the same.
Hah! I have screen shots! lol
The left and its friends in the MSM are recovering from the 2004 election and this attack on Delay looks like a probing assault by which they're testing their strategy and effectiveness. If Delay survives, expect something completely different next time in preparation for 2006.
I was wondering why the title was different in both threads, even though they are the exact same articles. Then I noticed that Nachum copied the title from the WND's home page while the other thread poster copied the title from the article
LOL! Deny, deny, deny......

I like my source better!!!! President Bush who stood on TV and backed Delay this week. You must be McCain's lacky.
DeLay should be running in '08, at least as VP IMHO. He's the strongest leader in the GOP.
The red states see right through Hitlery.
"What can you say about Hillary Clinton that hasn't already been muttered under somebody else's breath?" -- Dennis Miller
Makes sense to me. Hillary is a controller and a manipulator. she has the resources to do this kind of stuff. Wouldn't put it past her.
over the next year, plan to have fun watching the RATS try to morph themselves into "people of faith" and having the same religious values as conservative Christians.
DeLay has taken heat from both media and Democratic lawmakers for alleged ethics violations and his role in trying to save the life of Terri Schiavo.
He has taken a fair amount of heat from individuals who claim to be Republicans and from members of this forum also.
If the Republicans had one Tom Delay in the Senate, all of President Bush's judicial nominees would have already been confirmed.
One Tom Delay is worth a dozen John McCains, in my opinion.
Uh, oh...
