Tom DeLay may be under attack; however, he is still the most powerful HAMMER/power broker to descend upon the House of Reps. in decades . . . and, a close study of DeLay's is his match among the Christians, Tim LaHaye . . . Politics & Religion--go figure!
TOM & TIM...DeLay and LaHaye

Why The Dems Can’t Stand Tom DeLay & Tim LaHaye
Part I (Note: These articles appeared during the height of Tom DeLay's ever-increasing problems involving past political practices in the State of Texas. The "problems" just won't go away...but are his junkets paid by deep-pocketed lobbyists any different than scores of critics who feed at the same tables as DeLay? Makes for interesting reading . . .

THE MORAL OF THE STORY
Lou Dubose and Jan Reid’s new book, THE HAMMER, a biography on House of Representatives Majority Whip Tom DeLay, is allegedly a story of God, Money, and the Rise of the Republican Congress—and just how Tom DeLay took advantage of Newt Gingrich and fellow Texan Dick Armey’s Republican ascendancy and became himself the most powerful man in the House of Representatives. We’ll get into the “God part” a lot more than the money and political parts for now—but just to warn you, the King of Tyre (money) and the King of Babylon (political power) have a whole lot to do about this most interesting story. This is all the more fascinating now that the powerful Congressman has collected a whole lot of chips from fellow Reps. for past support and, consequently, has gotten the House GOP caucus (Nov. 18, 2004) to vote to end its rule requiring leaders to step down if indicted (which it now appears that DeLay will be for past indiscretions brought against him in Texas). The political intrigue is mounting, big time!
Now, the plot of this political-religious thriller intensifies as the “moral of the story” is discovered—enter Tim LaHaye (kind of a neat little rhyme going on here with Tom and Tim, DeLay and LaHaye). You see, DeLay eventually walked right into an evangelical church that had gotten a whole lot more “politicized” by folks like LaHaye—so, when we get into the “God part” of DeLay, you’ll understand why we brought LaHaye along.
LaHaye will act as Chairman of the Board for Jerry Falwell’s newly energized FAITH AND VALUES COALITION. The Faith and Values Coalition, according to the most beloved Baptist brother on the planet, the Rev. Barry Lynn (mouth for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State), is nothing more than “just another fund-raising vehicle.” Furthermore, Lynn so abhors these religious/political efforts that he likens them to “an old horror movie—every time they bring Frankenstein’s monster back, it just gets worse!”
One might be hearing “sour grapes” a bit—check out Barry’s remarks, and comments on his remarks:
"Some things should be left dead and buried," Lynn said. He noted that recent analysis of election results debunked early claims that "values voters" re-elected President Bush. In fact, Lynn pointed out, voter's main concerns were terrorism, national security and the war in Iraq.
"The people do not share Jerry Falwell's repressive vision of an America where church and state are merged and the views of intolerant TV preachers form the basis of our laws," Lynn said. "I welcome Falwell's new organization to the debate. I feel confident it will meet the same fate as the Moral Majority." (see above for source)
Sure, I bet Lynn welcomes Falwell and LaHaye to the debate—I bet he just can’t wait! Apparently, Falwell believes in the resurrection—I wonder if Barry does? But then, again, nothing like another “Son of Frankenstein” movie!
THE BOBSIE TWINS – FIRST, LaHAYE
DeLay and LaHaye do have some interesting things in common. For one, they know how to wield political clout and marshal conservative religious forces in America, while amassing vast sums of money for their causes
