My congressman has been called “shrewd,” “ruthless,” “heavy-handed,” “cynical,” and, well, you can probably already guess who he is. This website was even more creative in its description:

And like a Texas rattlesnake, he slithers across the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives pushing a GOP Biblical worldview upon the United States and pounding colleagues and opponents into voting against their constituents better interests. . . . an uber-hypocrite because he works hard to ensure a reign of evil will fall over the U.S. for years to come, but, like Bush, he does this by using God’s name in vain. It’s the old bait and switch: you know, the stern, sanctimonious minister who embezzles from the church funds and runs off with the choirmaster’s wife.

And I have a yard sign with this fiend’s name on it in my front yard, and I plan to vote for him. Thanks to redistricting I have the opportunity to do so instead of simply voting against Democrat Nick Lampson as I had to do two years ago. Why am I voting for Tom DeLay?
1) The DeLays have been foster parents and have dedicated themselves to improving the plight of abused children. The DeLays are currently developing a residential community called Oaks at Rio Bend, which will provide a permanent, safe home for abused and neglected children. Tom DeLay has also written, sponsored, and co-sponsored several bills in congress designed to imrove the adoption and foster process for children and for parents.
2) DeLay believes the United States must strongly support democratic allies like Israel and Taiwan that share our commitment to liberty while aggressively promoting the expansion of freedom to closed societies. He also believes that tyrants and rogue regimes must be confronted before they harm American interests.
3) Tom DeLay is pro-life, against so-called gay marriage, and supportive of home-schoolers.
4) Even Democrats and the media agree that he was instrumental in getting Texas redistricting set up in such a way that the map reflected the fact that Texas is mostly Republican. And he got me into his district so that I don’t have to choose between Lampson and some RINO (Republican in Name Only).
5) The liberals HATE him and are out to get him, so he must be doing something right. They’re also afraid of him, which is funny. I met him once, and he didn’t seem so scary to me.
