Hammering Republicans
Tom DeLay
“The GOP is leaderless,” the former House majority leader told a conference organized by Campaigns & Elections magazine. “When it comes to communicating, we suck.”

DeLay applauded the organization and unity of the Democratic Party (and the liberal message) since 2000. “It’s the most massive, impressive organization that I have ever witnessed.”
“The conservative movement is not a coalition,” DeLay said. “Seldom do they work together, but they talk a lot. … We are being outblogged by the left. … We need our own documentaries, our own movies, and we need to coordinate conservative talk radio. …We need to get lean and mean.”
DeLay’s not optimistic that it’s going to happen by 2008 (he believes that any serious conservative coalition will require five to six years to develop).
“If we don’t have our act together by 2008, [Sen. Hillary Clinton] will be the next president,” he said.
Unless, of course, he can stop it: “They may think that they drove us from Congress,” DeLay said. “But I could be their worst nightmare in the future.”
Despite his criticism of the GOP, DeLay isn’t about to switch sides.
“I’m loving every minute that I’m watching” the Democratic Congress, he said, even though “the American people haven’t woken up yet to the fact that they can’t govern.”
