DeLay: Long rebuilding process for GOP
Aims to get conservative groups to collaborate

Two years after he resigned from the House, former Republican leader Tom DeLay says conservatives haven't bottomed out from their 2006 election losses, Democrats are "cleaning their clock," and it will take years before the Republican Party can compete with the operation Democrats have built.

"The conservatives refuse to accept that the left is cleaning their clock, and until you hit some bottom, wherever that is, to where it says, 'Well, maybe we ought to do something different,' little or nothing's going to change," Mr. DeLay told editors and reporters at The Washington Times last week.

"I think it's going to take years to rebuild the party," he said. "It is a party that will try to find itself as to what kind of party it is, and it will depend on what kind of leadership emerges from this rebuilding, as to what it ultimately is."

Mr. DeLay said Democrats and their allies have mastered the art of using independent groups, while Republicans lag far behind, still focused on a party-based strategy that can't compete.

if not, why not?

good riddance, I say.

n/t

Poor Tom---- when he looks in the mirror he sees nothing....

If anyone (other than Bush/Cheney) helped put them in the situation they find themselves in, it is he...

instead of nostalgia for the way things never were.

He should be the prison girlfriend of some 300 lb. guy with tattoos, not running around loose spewing his verbal shit at fake newspapers.

Seriously, this is news?

Republicans never take personal responsiblity for anything. Boo Hoo Tommy!

...but apparently that would be in opposition to their 'family values'

is it that small yet?

Can I echo the :nopity: statement?

This bunch of criminals and their supporters should all be locked up never to be trusted with the worlds future again.

that aside from the fact that they showed themselves to be nothing but conniving politicos while American people die live on TV (Katrina) and just wait until the grace period ends and blame for 9/11 (not LiIHOP) comes swinging back around on them.

Oh yeah and their ideology is bankrupt and they clearly don't believe it themselves or they would have implimented it.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving person, or party!

Rot in hell, kiddo, rot in hell!

:nuke:

among the Dems....just like the "republican source" yesterday (who prefers to remain anonymous), that McCain has huge problems and it doesn't look good for McCain...Dems fall for this same bullshit every time the republicans throw it out to them.....Dem's, just like in this forum, eat it all up without even coming up to breathe.

If these republican fuckers like Delay are saying it, you better know it's only meant to help DeLay himself & the republican party !

The GOP could do worse that turn the party back to conservatives and take it away from the fascists and right wing morons like Tom DeLay who call themselves conservatives.

culture of corruption.

Thank you so much!

:rofl:

After what they've done to this country, it's the least I can hope for.

My guess would be when we ran a pro-Iraq war ticket in 2004. Perhaps Dean's Iowa SCREAM was our "rock bottom"?

I don't think a "permanent majority" is something either party can manage at this point in history, no matter how badly the other party screws up.
