Tom DeLay: McCain 'Hard to Swallow'
Monday, October 6, 2008 3:20 PM
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay believes that conservative Republicans will face a difficult challenge if John McCain is elected president.
"His stance on global warming, immigration, campaign finance, affirmative action — it's just a whole list of things that is not going to appeal to conservative Republicans,” the Texas Republican told PolitickerCA.com.
“I’ve known McCain for 23 years, and McCain’s hard to swallow.
“And if he becomes president, teaming up with the Democrats, we're going to have a lot of work to do to stop them."
------------------------------------------------
"He's as far left as anyone who's ever run for president in this country,” DeLay said.
The last quote from the article that Oldtimer posted didn't really sound like Delay talking about McCain, so I wanted to see it for myself. And since he didn't provide a link (I wonder why?), I googled it.
Here's the article in it's entirety. I highlighted the part that was cut out and replaced with the line of --------'s.
That part that was deleted makes all the difference in knowing who Delay was referring to.
Tom DeLay: McCain 'Hard to Swallow'
Monday, October 6, 2008 3:20 PM
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay believes that conservative Republicans will face a difficult challenge if John McCain is elected president.
"His stance on global warming, immigration, campaign finance, affirmative action — it's just a whole list of things that is not going to appeal to conservative Republicans,” the Texas Republican told PolitickerCA.com.
“I’ve known McCain for 23 years, and McCain’s hard to swallow.
“And if he becomes president, teaming up with the Democrats, we're going to have a lot of work to do to stop them."
DeLay, who supported Mike Huckabee in the GOP primaries, said that despite his differences with McCain he still plans to vote for him because Democrat Barack Obama would be far worse.
"He's as far left as anyone who's ever run for president in this country,” DeLay said.
DeLay also said the choice of Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate was an “absolutely brilliant move” and urged the McCain campaign to “turn Palin loose … Quit handling her. Let her be Palin.”
DeLay represented a Texas district for more than 20 years before resigning from Congress in June 2006.
Now scroll back up and see the part that Oldtimer left out. It's quite clear that Delay was talking about
Obama being "as far left as anyone who's ever run for president in this country."
