All Tom Delay is money and power politics: money and power was not enough to satisfy the man who, for all intents and purposes, had the house under his thumb. He saw that the members of the Republican majority got whatever they wanted - money, bimbos, Bush’s help, you name it. They were all in his pocket.
All in one for Bobby Baker, the powerful secretary of the Senate and a very close associate of Vice President Lyndon Johnson. http://home.earthlink.net/~sixthfloor/brennen.htm
How Brown and Root Herman Brown's huge bet on the Mansfield Dam just keeps paying off. It made Brown a rich man. It secured the future of his company. And it led to other big projects that provided the funds to elect Lyndon Johnson to the U.S. Senate in 1948 and the White House years later. Today, 63 years after Johnson helped secure federal funding for the dam, it appears that the modern descendent of George Brown's Brown & Root may once again be propelling a Texas politico toward the White House.

Power corrupts and secret and inside power corrupts even faster. The new twist is professional money raisers and PR consultants who at a price raise you up or set you down. Rather than machines and bosses it is lobbyists and business executives, Christian Right mobilizes, advertising executives and motivated by big bucks and inside power that can create and destroy.
Let’s ask chucky – Senators Hegel and Chafee (as 9 year olds) do not want to try the new cereal, which is good for you, so they get Chucky George (the 3 year old) Voinovich of Ohio, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — have said they would like more time to review the allegations . Meanwhile, senators whose votes are in question — including GOP Sens. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island and Chuck Hagel of Nebraska — laid low and did not meet with Bolton.
