Tom Delay--paragon of Christian virtue

I remember reading the extensive Washington Post article on "the Hammer" and the extensive discussions on his faith and church in Sugarland, Texas. He talked about his faith a lot. This is the same guy who used his power to force a redistricting in Texas between the normal period.

DeLay Defends Trip and Vote, Attacks Critics (washingtonpost.com): "Speaking at a weekly session with reporters, DeLay alternated between attacks on the news media and attacks on Democrats. 'With all the partisan politics of personal destruction that the Democrats have announced and have carried through on, I have yet to be found breaking any House rules,' he said. 'It is very unfortunate that the Democrats have no agenda. All they can do is try to tear down the House and burn it down in order to gain power.'"

This is a guy who has used his power to make it easier to pollute and harm the environment. This is a guy who has treated people so ruthlessly that he is called the Hammer. You know, just like Jesus was.

This is exactly what I am talking about. Conservative Christians have sold the store. You sold teh idea and the marketing of your faith. Now any asshole can claim a "serious personal relationship with Christ" all the while they act like Ghengis Khan. Hope you got what you wanted. Because some day this come back to haunt you.
