My area's national embarrassment of a congressman, Pete Sessions (TX-32) continues his insistance on using Republican code words and proven lies to continue his opposition to any meaningful legislation to bring new jobs for both his district and our country.
No where is Taliban Pete's intentions more evident than on his taxpayer-supported web site. Instead of offering anything that will really produce quality jobs, Sessions wastes our taxpayer dollars mocking President Obama and offering the Republicans' so-called "Plan for Job Creators."
The problem is that the plan offers suggestions that have proven to have failed dramatically in producing jobs when the GOP controlled both the White House and Congress when George W. Bush was president. Instead of owing up to his--- and his party's-- role in plunging American down the economic hole, Sessions continues his insistance that we double down on what failed before.
More below.
Taliban Pete leads off his latest newsroom installment with the following statement:
This week in Washington, President Obama claimed that he has yet to see a plan for job creation from House Republicans. Our plan, the House Republican Plan for America’s Job Creators, has been on the table for months and we have passed numerous jobs bills this Congress. Unfortunately for the American people, the jobs bills passed by the House have been stalled by the Democrat-led Senate for months.
Besides his chronic insistance on misstating the name of the opposition, Sessions also mislabels what the GOP plan really is. Making a long story short, it isn't a jobs plan.
It is, instead, the same tired things Republicans have tried before and has resulted in the worst economic period since the Great Depression-- a result the GOP has tried to shift the blame for from those who really deserve the blame-- Republican legislators like Sessions and the White House occupant who enacted all those pieces of irresponsible plans-- George W. Bush.
Quite frankly, I'm tired of the games playing and code talk Republicans have used to justify their failed policies of tax cuts for the wealthiest 1 percent, the gutting of essential programs that help people like Medicare and Social Security, and their failure to pass a meaningful jobs bill of the kind Obama has proposed and has drawn the sneers of Republicans and their teahead allies.
I'm also tired of a news media that has failed to call what Sessions and other Republicans have done by the term it really is-- deliberate malpractice against the American people.
Sessions' removal from office is long overdue. His continued malpractice against folks in his district must be brought to an end.
I hope that a strong and well-funded opponent is found who will hold Sessions accountable for his misdeeds and give residents in our district the opportunity to end his years of misrepresenting us in the House in November of 2012.
