WASHINGTON, April 7 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Campaign for America's Future ran a full-page print ad in the conservative Washington Times today that introduces House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, as the new face of the conservative movement.

"Once upon a time," the ad says beneath photos of conservative icons President Ronald Regan, Senator Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., and President Dwight Eisenhower, "conservatives stood for honest government. Now, their chosen leader is the symbol of money corruption in Washington."

The Campaign for America's Future unveiled a new television ad last week that urged Congress to "wash its hands" of Rep. DeLay, highlighting the controversy surrounding the house majority leader, who is increasingly seen as a liability to his party.

The print ad is available for viewing at http://www.ourfuture.org.

3. Just to be clear, it's an *anti* DeLay ad....

...asking the RW to clean their own house.

4. Here's the text of the ad...

ONCE UPON A TIME...CONSERVATIVES STOOD FOR HONEST GOVERNMENT.

Just read Barry Goldwater’s Conscience of a Conservative. Now, their chosen leader is the symbol of money corruption in Washington.

Conservatives once stood for limited government. Now, their chosen leader drags Congress into one family’s private tragedy.

Conservatives once stood for family values. Now, their chosen leader does the bidding of gambling lobbyists.

Conservatives once stood for common sacrifice in times of national emergency.Now, their chosen leader takes lavish junkets around the world, paid for by mysterious foreign interests.

Conservatives once challenged Beltway corruption. Now, even the Wall Street Journal editorialized that conservatives’ chosen leader “smells just like the Beltway itself.”

Tom DeLay is the man conservatives chose to be Majority Leader of the House of Representatives. They voted for him, even though three of his closest associates had been indicted by a grand jury for illegally raising political funds from corporations. They voted for him though he had been rebuked three times by the bipartisan House ethics committee: for giving inside access to campaign contributors, for coercing a lawmaker to vote the party line on the Medicare bill, and for improperly using a federal agency to track political opponents.

Now conservatives rally to his defense, saying he hasn’t been convicted of any crimes yet.

Once, conservatives had higher standards for their leaders.

Not that I would defend him or anything... but it makes sense to me -> re: all the bad press, etc., esp. about some stuff that is 8 years old or more. Why now?
