Pombo Ally, Tom Delay Has A Conspiracy Theory...

Pombo's old buddy, Tom Delay says George Soros and Hillary Clinton beat Richard Pombo.

Apparently the two of them were the one's knocking on doors, making phone calls, and getting out the vote. They must have cast all of the one-hundred and ten-thousand votes for McNerney. Clinton and Soros had to have been what forced the Republican Party to adopt a culture of corruption that pushed away even their own base. They probably also forced the neo-cons in the White House to push for war with Iraq which turned public opinion completely away from the GOP. It's also they're fault that Pombo ran a wasteful campaign, wasted tax-payer money (quite often), and was beholden to corporate special interests.

Of course this is not really new. Last December, Delay said the same thing:

"DeLay named Clinton loyalists Harold Ickes, Sidney Blumenthal, James Carville, Paul Begala and Joe Lockhart as the masterminds behind the left-wing coalition. He said that these groups, more than anything else, contributed to the GOP’s fall this November.

“I have never seen a more powerful coalition,” he said.One such example of the coalition’s power played out precisely as planned in California’s 11th District. Republican Rep. Richard Pombo was toppled after facing an onslaught of attacks from the left." (source)

He wrote this as a follow-up on his blog, "there is a left wing conspiracy." (source)

Tom Delay was indicted on charges of money laundering and conspiracy.

Hank Shaw also refutes Delay's false claims.
