Tom DeLay leery of a President McCain

October 4, 2008
Former U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay thinks conservative Republicans will have their work cut out for them if John McCain is elected president in November. “If McCain wins the election, we’ve got just as much work to do as if Obama won,” DeLay, the former House majority leader from Texas, told PolitickerCA.com. “I’ve known McCain for 23 years, and McCain’s hard to swallow.” DeLay, who supported former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in the primaries, disagrees with the Republican nominee on a number of issues, though he still plans to vote for him. “His stance on global warming, immigration, campaign finance, affirmative action,” DeLay said, “it’s just a whole list of things that is not going to appeal to conservative Republicans. And if he becomes president, teaming up with the Democrats, we’re going to have a lot of work to do to stop them.” DeLay made sure to emphasize that Barack Obama would be far worse. “Obama’s awful,” DeLay said. “He’s as far left as anyone who’s ever run for president in this country.
The former House Majority Leader thought McCain’s choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate saved his campaign. “I think Sarah Palin was an absolutely brilliant move,” DeLay said, citing her support from Republican women. “She has such a strong world view that appeals to these Republican women. [McCain] had no organization. Nobody had accepted him, made the phone calls or knocked the doors. With Republican women, he automatically got an organization.” DeLay was unconcerned by Palin’s lack of experience. “Her experience is not an issue,” argued DeLay. “She has the foundation from which she makes decisions. That’s what you want. No one’s experienced to be President.”
DeLay was encouraged by signs that the Republican presidential nominee would be more aggressive over the final month of the campaign. “He still hasn’t defined Obama,” DeLay said. “He’s got to get a lot more aggressive.” DeLay also argued that the McCain campaign was misusing it’s most valuable resource.”He’s got to turn Palin loose,” he said. “Let her get out there and get to work. Quit handling her. Let her be Palin. She needs to be out there talking to people, especially dealing with the local media, and get away from the national media.”

Is Gus Hall still running?
And I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing?
Good post! I have been pleading for many weeks to mcCain & his advisers to come out & name names! All of these commies! They might shout McCarthiasm, but it’s easy to verify.
William Ayers, terrorist of Weatherman Underground , Frank Davis (Member Communist Party USA), Rev. Jeremiah Wright, racist pastor, Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam , Raila Odinga, Kenyan Islamic militant,, Daniel Ortega, Marxist Leader, Nicarauga, Raul Castro, Communist Leader, Cuba, Kaddafi, Libyas Strongman, Hamas, New Black Panther Party ALL HATE America, and want to CHANGE America into a Marxist Regime!
Is it a coincidence they ALL endorse or Cheer for Sen, Obamas candidacy?
Perhaps this explains why Obama is the ONLY person shown here NOT saluting America during the national anthem.
Could it be they are PERCEIVE Obama share a silmilar view of America & is WEAK?
Barak Hussein Obama, TOO risky for national security! (show show in an ad plane crashing into Twin tower while repeating these words)
Cant be TRUSTED to protect you if, God forbid, America is attacked again.

FR threads about Shepard Fairey
Shepard Fairey is the artist who designed the official fund-raising set of Obama : Hope / Change / Progress posters. My guess is that to date he's raised between $2-4 million for Obama's campaign through the sales of posters, tee shirts, coffee mugs, etc.
Fairey has a company ("Obey") that produces his own artwork, such as these.
See Fairey's website: http://www.thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints
Obama has written Fairey that he admires "the political messages involved in your work."
If Obama does win in November, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy becomes his administration's "Artist Laureate." Can you imagine him as the Artistic Director for the Inauguration ceremonies?
