Still partyin' hard with the Scanlon memo - was trying to find which TX

church DeCay attends (to no avail), but found this list of supporters at http://www.tomdelay.com/help.html:

Local Elected Officials:
State Representative Charlie Howard
Harris County Judge Robert Eckels
Ft. Bend County Judge Bob Hebert
Ft, Bend County Commissioner Andy Myers
Galveston County Tax Assessor Cheryl Johnson
Deer Park Mayor Wayne Riddle
Seabrook Mayor Robin Riley
Nassau Bay Mayor Don Matter
Meadows Place Mayor Mark McGrath
Rosenberg Mayor Joe Gurecky
Houston City Councilwoman Addie Wiseman
Sugar Land City Councilman Thomas Abraham
Sugar Land City Councilman Daniel Wong
Sugar Land City Councilman Russell Jones
Missouri City City Councilman Bob Burton
Taylor Lake Village Councilman Larry Tobin
Fort Bend Constable Troy Nehls

It turns out one of these Sugar Land Councilmen is also a Christian counsellor, so I think he'll be interested to read the Scanlon memo:

Consider one memo highlighted in a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday that Scanlon, a former aide to Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Tx., sent the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana to describe his strategy for protecting the tribe's gambling business. In plain terms, Scanlon confessed the source code of recent Republican electoral victories: target religious conservatives, distract everyone else, and then railroad through complex initiatives:


Mobilization

We plan to use three forms of communications to mobilize and win these battles. Phones, mail and Christian radio. We believe that if you are on TV you are generally losing battles like this. Our mission is to get specifically selected groups of individuals to the polls to speak out AGAINST something.

To that end, your money is best spent finding them and communicating with them on using the modes that they are most likely to respond to. Simply put we want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them. The wackos get their information from the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees. (Oct. 2001)

He was certainly surprised at these developments. heh

to Canada for the wastrel daughters of rich Republicans once Roe v. Wade is overturned.

It's a sure money maker.

Of course, reviewing all of Ralph's career it is really no surprise that he is a totally amoral fraud (and this reminds me of yet another Ralph - and it ain't Kramer) but up until now the baby face has managed to cover his tracks very well.

I apologize for not choosing the language more clearly though.

and Kansas steps back, oh, 400 years in time, I find it increasingly difficult to know WHAT to believe! (thanks for the heads up on this one, though!!)
