Moral Majority: Republican Party
built 187 days ago
This report surveys the Democrats' opportunities in 2008 for winning over conservative Christian voters who are disillusioned with the current crop of Republicans: "The Democrats are so fired up, you could call them the new Moral Majority. This time... the emphasis is as much on the majority as on the morality as they try to frame a message in terms of broadly shared values that don't alarm members of minority religions or secular voters. It has become an article of faith among party leaders that it was sheer strategic stupidity to cede the values debate to Republicans for so long; that most people want to reduce abortion but not criminalize it, protect the earth instead of the auto industry, raise up the least among us; and that a lot of voters care as much about the candidates' principles as about their policies."

Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay won't give up on Terri Schiavo. Issueing a subpeona for her lifeless body to be displayed before the United States Congress is just his latest desperate attempt to suck the oxygen out of increasing media focus on multiple investigations into his ethically admonished felonious activities. Who else among Congressional Republican leadership needs a dying woman's body as a foil to take the heat for the party's ethical lapses more than the Republican Party's chosen House leader?

Texans Karl Rove and George Bush let fellow Texan Tom DeLay, the House Majority Leader, do the party’s dirty work in the Lone Star State. DeLay orchestrated an off-year redistricting of Texas in 2002 that pushed five incumbent Democratic House members into newly drawn Republican strongholds.

Only Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay would call the House Ethics Committee partisan. Republicans and Democrats on the committee voted unanimously to admonish him several times for lapses in ethics and judgment. Now he is the target of multiple investigations into corruption.
