Tom Delay=LIAR, HYPOCRITE, FASCIST THUG: "Republicans have instead consolidated power in the hands of a few leaders, most notably Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (Ill.) and Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Tex.). In the process, the authority of committee chairmen and influence of rank-and-file members has waned.
Republican leaders have cracked down on GOP lawmakers who oppose them, creating a culture in which Republicans often fear bucking the party line.
And, increasingly, they have systematically prevented Democrats from offering ideas and amendments in committee or on the House floor-a tactic DeLay, when he was in the minority, called the “arrogance of power.”
"Republicans concede that it was easier-or more convenient-to make promises in 1993 as the minority party, than to keep them in 2003 as the majority party."
