Disgraced former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has been making noises<\/a> for a couple of years now about creating his own MoveOn.org-for-the-right activist group, which presumably would offer him a vehicle for, well, whatever it is DeLay does. Last November, he made it official<\/a>, launching the “Coalition for a Conservative Majority.”<\/p>\n

Since then, the group has had a real impact by … well, there was the one time it …. the CCM certainly made a splash when the group …. OK, no one’s heard a word from DeLay’s outfit since it started begging for cash last year. But Bob Novak reported today<\/a> that DeLay is still out there, pushing his little group, and imploring right-wing activists to send him a check.<\/p>\n

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has resurfaced, appealing for contributions to the Coalition for a Conservative Majority, which lists him as chairman and founder. DeLay suggested that this be enclosed with any contribution: ”I am thrilled to learn that you have gotten back in the fight against the left by forming” the new organization.<\/p>\n

DeLay, who has endorsed John McCain after expressing misgivings, takes positions to the right of the Republican presidential candidate in his fund-raising appeal. DeLay asks: ”Are you concerned by the growing evidence that there are powerful forces inside our government and out who are quietly moving to have America absorbed into a globalist style ‘North American Union’ with Canada and Mexico?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, this is what DeLay has been reduced to. The former House Majority Leader wants people to believe — as Tom Tancredo<\/a>, Lou Dobbs<\/a>, and Ron Paul<\/a> fear — that U.S. borders will be dissolved and we’ll have one big continental country. But if unhinged conservatives send the former exterminator a check, DeLay will step up to take on the “powerful forces inside our government.”<\/p>\n

I know there are going to be some people who actually run for their checkbook after getting DeLay’s letter, but I just can’t imagine what they’re thinking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
