DeLay spoke with a passion about his goal to make us all into one
"God-centered" nation. "Our entire system is built on the Judeo-Christian
ethic, but it fell apart when we started denying God. If you stand up today
and acknowledge God," he said, "they will try to destroy you." Five years
later, that is also the argument DeLay is deploying to portray himself as
the victim of prosecutorial persecution. He is suggesting that his legal
salvation is linked to the salvation of the Republican Party, of
Christianity itself.
And DeLay's crusade will not be sidetracked by the acts of mortals such as
states' attorneys, crooked lobbyists and disgraced former staffers who are
poised to testify against him. In DeLay's world he answers only to a higher
power, and his personal Armageddon has only just begun. He will artfully
squeeze a load of money from the Christian Right as he makes his thunderous
argument from multiple pulpits in the weeks and months ahead. The new Tom
DeLay will combine aspects of the Revs. Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, and
Lee Atwater, the late right-wing political consultant with the legendary
killer instinct.
