Nancy Pelosi CALLS OUT Republican Tea Partier on the House Floor

Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has had enough Republican tea smirks for the day. She took to the House floor to tell Pete Sessions (R-TX) off, “Do I detect your smirk to mean that you don’t think Republicans will vote for middle income tax cuts, Mr. Sessions?”






Pelosi: Do I detect your smirk to mean that you don’t think Republicans will vote for middle income tax cuts, Mr. Sessions, should I take it to mean that you will continue to hold middle income tax cuts hostage, giving tax cuts to the wealthiest people in our country? The unfairness of it is appalling, the fact that it increases the deficit is disgraceful, and that it does not create jobs is a big mistake for us to make.”




Mr. Sessions is a member of the Tea Party caucus. Enough said.



Smirk away, Republicans. It’s your approval rating on the line, along with the country’s credit rating that the Republicans already ruined, and any notion that they actually care about fiscal responsibility (that meme should have died a long time ago when Cheney told us deficits don’t matter).

These people are so dumb they they do not think. They let some idiot tell them what to do and when to do it. These people did not develop correctly or they just have some type of genetic defect that makes them STUPID and GREEDY. The total opposite of a peron who is democratic who SHARES and THINKS.

Pete is an idiot but he lives in a very safe district and so his only worry is a challenge from the tea party. Sessions had a tea party idiot run against him in the GOP primary last year but won easily by going to the right.

He's not going anywhere. I am in his district too, just barely since they prodded the boundary line for this last election. I was NOT happy to learn of the change. Even though Eddie Bernice isn't fabulous, she's a lot better than Pete effing Sessions.

Thu Dec 13, 2012, 02:59 PM

Representative Sessions has no concern about losing voters because he lets middle income taxes go up. At least not as long as he loudly and clearly stands for more guns, more war, more executions and more "Ja-he-sus!" If he stays true to those causes, the racists, red-necks, dingbats and wing-nuts in his benighted district will reelect him every time he chooses to run.

No wonder Republicans are so hot to cut funding for public education.

Before that, we had Martin Frost, who served our district ably and honorably for thirteen terms.

Now, we have been stuck with this embarrassment acting with no ability and no honor ever since. If only embarrassing your district with despicable behavior in the House, Sessions would get a longer sentence than DeLay did.
