Tom DeLay: A Friend and a Courageous Leader
The National Ledger ^ | 6-21-06 | Paul M. Weyrich

Posted on 06/21/2006 9:00:53 PM PDT by Coastal

It was a sad day for some of us last week when the ablest Majority Leader to have held that office in the Republican House of Representatives spent his last day in Congress.

I have known Tom DeLay for 22 years. One day my good friend Houston builder Bob Perry called me and said there was someone he wanted me to meet. This fellow Tom DeLay, Perry said, was a businessman, not a lawyer, and stood for the right things in the legislature.

Tom DeLay is sitting back, getting some R & R, some new advisors, getting rid of the bogus charges against him...and setting himself up as the GOP front-runner in 2008.

I've come to admire Tom DeLay more than ever, he has been a guest on a number of conservative talk shows, from middle of the road to Mike Savage. And I really love his tone of voice, his dedication to the conservative cause. Mr. DeLay is a leader, and he's not going anywhere - I will tell you, he will end up having more influence now then he ever did before. He will influence the direction of the conservative movement. You think not? Just watch. And, by the way, the "conservative movement", it isn't just America anymore. It's an international movement.

Now that is an exciting prospect. If Newt runs too, the drive by media would have a year long fit of hysterics. That would be a fascinating primary and election season.

God bless Tom Delay. He is a good man, which is far far more than anyone can say about those who railroaded him. They are just, well, if you can't say something nice...

There are a bunch of things on his to do list, this is not one of them.

Delay is now ready to rumble.

He will be very effective in this election cycle.

He is a man with a plan.

The Democrats set him up the bomb, and now they are going to be zigged for great justice.

Tom Delay was my Representative, I voted for him and his leadership was plain to see. Anyone who inspires the kind of hatred demostrated by the dumb-o-rats has to be doing something good for the people of this country.
If he runs again I'l vote for him but first I want to see him kick R. Earle's ass in court!!
