WASHINGTON – (KRT) – House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has long been known as “The Hammer” for his hard-nosed partisanship and controversial fund-raising tactics.

The Texas Republican has provoked Democrats into such helpless anger that they once sued his office, claiming that it was a “criminal enterprise” because of his tough approach to fund raising.

Charles Jones, a political science professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin, said DeLay represents a new kind of congressional leader who not only works to pass legislation but also raises money and pushes hard to keep a majority.
