DeLay Welcomes Hall to Republican Party
Democrat Message: Moderates Need Not Apply

SUGAR LAND, Texas – House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) today welcomed lifelong Democrat and U.S. Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Texas) to the Republican Party.

“Democrats are reaping what they’ve sown,” DeLay said.

“Their leaders have lined up behind Howard Dean’s brand of angry, intolerant politics. They’ve made their message clear: ‘moderates need not apply’ and that’s a sad trend for a once-great party.

“Ralph Hall is a good man, has always been a good Democrat and will always be a great member of Congress. He’s welcome in President Bush’s Republican Party. I look forward to working with him to serve the people of Texas.”
