Tom DeLay's ridiculousness: The Coalition for a Conservative Minority
So I was going through a few old issues of Campaigns and Elections and ran across this March article from Tom DeLay about the "High Price of Disunity" and he is so bold as to claim that conservatives were disloyal for not supporting the prescription drug bill. DeLay is still oblivious to his own culpability in creating ultimate Republican defeat. His byline credits his works at the "Coalition for a Conservative Majority" which I was interested to hear about, so I checked out their website.They have eight active chapters. DeLay founded this organization, and Ken Blackwell is running it.
I decided to "get active" with CCM and signed up. But I suspect I know what will come from it: nothing. As with most conservative groups I sign up with, I never receive an email or a single contact. There's no use for the volunteer with most of these places, because people are working a job, sending out their direct mail, and simply disinterested in results.
The only result Tom DeLay can claim is losing a majority, so why does anyone listen to what he has to say, give him any money or look on him with anything but disdain. He is a traitor to the cause and ought to be cast out. You can't call this a movement when the only motion involves money into the pocket of thieves like DeLay. They're supposedly a c4, and supposedly a group to "counter the influence of moveon" even though that mantle is claimed by about a dozen conservative shell groups at this point.
