Wow, Politico Really Is A Shameless Den Of Hacks

They have Tom DeLay–yes, that Tom DeLay–writing a column on why the GOP lost in 2006.  It is remarkable how he refers to his former district, Texas’ 22nd, as if it were just any other House district.  No mention is made of why the seat was open or why there had to be a write-in candidate on the GOP side.  There is no mention of a fellow named Jack and a little thing called corruption.  According to DeLay, the greatest Democratic advantage in 2006 was unity.  Therefore, if Republicans are more united, they will win.  Uh-huh.  The Democrats had nothing else going for them that was more important than that.  Nope, Republicans just need some of the old-time religion (i.e., conservatism) and some unity, and all their problems will be solved.  And this was the tactical and political brains of the GOP operation in the House?  No wonder they were in such bad shape by the time he left.
