The GOP Mafia

I'm only an amateur conspiracy theorist, but the more I read about the Plame case and the DeLay/Abramoff scandal(s), the more it appears that everything in the GOP world is connected, from the media to the lobbyists to the "Christian" "conservative" base to the elected officials. So far, no group within the conservative sphere has been left unimplicated. The officials include the very leadership of two branches of our government. Abramoff runs what appears to be a complicated web of money-cleaning mechanisms. The religious right is represented by Ralph Reed, the former director of the "Christian" Coalition [Update (10/10/2005 15:43): the Oregon branch of the Christian Coalition is in the news today], now part of Abramoff's network.

The question is, if the GOP machine is like an organized crime family (which it appears to be), then who is the Don?
