I'm sure the book is great, and I've seen some terrific presentations that discuss similar ideas at conferences, but this essay is WAAAAY too much of a stretch. Tom DeLay was a product of his district, which then booted him out, and his ability to worm his way up the party hierarchy. He is no more any of the negative things you say about him than the other creatures of Washington, like Harry Reid. A shame you don't consider for a single moment that the other side of the aisle might have very similar preconceptions, inhibitions, and intolerance. Then we might REALLY be breaking ground.
