O.K. folks, there are two days away from the "Taliban Pete" Sessions (TX-32) townhall now scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Ranchview High School, 8401 Valley Ranch Parkway, Irving, TX 75063 (it's been moved from Irving City Hall to accommodated a larger expected crowd).
There is already a template for making things rather uncomfortable for Pete as he defends his position in opposing any real healthcare reform.

Cross-posted at Daily Kos and Thinking Out Loud in Texas My area's congressman, Pete Sessions (TX-32) lives in an alternative universe from residents like myself who live in his district and struggle to make a living.
Instead of facing reality and supporting President Obama's realistic health care proposal, Sessions has chosen to support the current bankrupt system that keeps folks uninsured by announcing his opposition to the plans.
In doing so, he stuck to a script of well-rehearsed lies inventing things about the president's proposal that really aren't.

My area's morally unfit congressman, Taliban Pete "Rep. Moron" Sessions, has learned at least one thing-- if you can't beat your opponents with facts, make a few things up about what you're opposing and hope you don't get caught.
I don't know if Sessions learned the technique from reading Taliban manuals, but he's sure using it on his taxpayer-supported web site as he fights against legislation that would assure workers in districts like his (yes, I do LIVE and WORK in his district)have the right to join a union.

With each passing day, I grow increasingly ashamed that I have to say that Pete (Rep. Moron) Sessions represents my congressional district (TX-32).
It's bad enough that Sessions made a total fool of himself by claiming that GOP opponents of President Obama can learn from the Taliban in their efforts to obstruct the President's agenda.
It's also despicable that Sessions displayed no concern for average folks in my district by voting against the very stimulus bill that create create as many as 7,500 jobs in his district.

As if there wasn't any more reason to be ashamed that Pete Sessions represents my congressional district (TX-32). he added still another reason why this moron MUST be turned out by voters in 2010.
Sessions, already Rep. Jackass because of his open contempt for working folks like me and his rubber stamp for George W. Bush and his failed policies, made so stunning of a gaffe today that it even makes "macaca" seem mild by comparison.
The statement is so stunning that it has made me graduate him from being merely "Rep. Jackass" to "Rep. Moron."

Sessions, a conservative Republican who wrote a column condemning Janet Jackson's nude display during this year's Super Bowl halftime performance, apparently bared his bottom with about 300 male and female students on the streets of San Marcos during the two-night rampage.*
Sessions spent more than $5,000 at Kane's club that night in March, according to federal disclosures. Those reports show Sessions spent another $2,100 on his hotel.
Officially, Pete Sessions' leadership PAC picked up the tab, but just days before the party at Forty Deuce, casino interests donated $5,000 to his PAC. Payday lenders threw in another $2,500.
While it's true not everyone in Big D supports Pete Sessions in his Holy War against Extraneous Fabric, I'm sure the many megachurches of TX-32 will open up their microphones and multi-million dollar viewing centers to allow Rep. Sessions to explain the logic of his position.
And I'm sure an aide will be at his side to remind him to put the tip in the offering box, rather than look for the Pastor's moneymaker to make a discreet deposit in.
*While at first his excoriation of Ms. Jackson's wardrobe malfunction might look like a lapse in the Sessions crusade, properly speaking, the nipple was encased cruelly in a star shaped tip rather than exposed to the breeze as Streaky Pete clearly prefers.
I've been all around Texas: North, South, East, and West. Now it's time for one of the major metropolitan areas...Dallas/Ft. Worth. It doesn't look good on the surface, with only one of the target five races bearing an incumbent Democrat. However, Dallas County really pulled a coup when they flipped the courts blue. It can be done again in 2008, if only people will RUN, and we're about to take the tour, below the fold.
Join me for a dissection of TX-12, TX-24, TX-26, TX-30, and TX-32.
This is a disgrace. I am totally ashamed to say that my congressional district is representative by Pete Sessions, who puts the interests of George W. Bush over the interests of average Texans.
He also puts Bush's interests over the interests of kids needing health insurance as he demonstrated again tonight when he voted against the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act.

After hearing this YouTube clip, it makes me wonder why I haven't heard about any Democratic opposition to my (I'm ashamed to say) congressman, Pete Sessions (TX-32):

I don't know if this is something Texas Kaos keeps track of, but tonight at the Fretz Park rec center in North Dallas (Hillcrest and Belt Line) at 6:30 PM tonight (8/28) there will be a "town hall" meeting with Bush-supporting Republican Congressman Pete Sessions. I plan to attend to see what he has to say for himself...maybe I'll be able to ask an impertinent question before being thumbed out of the place :)
I'm all for Rick Noriega in his battle to unseat Bush rubber stamp Sen. John Cornyn next November, but there's (at least) one other Republican Congress critter who deserves to be sent down to the gutters of defeat-- Rep. Pete Sessions, who represents my congressional district (TX-32).
Sessions has showed his determination to put the political interests of George W. Bush above the interests of average Texans.
One way Sessions has displayed his Bush over everyone else desires is his continued support of Bush's morally irresponsible tax cuts for the richest 1 percent.

If one didn't know that Rep. Pete Sessions (R-CD 32) has a habit of putting the political interests of George W. Bush above the interests of the nation and his district, you'd sure know where his heart was when he voted against repealing the Patriot Act provision allowing the president to appoint interim U.S. attorneys without Senate confirmation.
The vote (see http://clerk.house.g... ) was 329-78, with 113 Republicans joining 216 Democrats in approving the measure.
Sessions was one of 78 Republicans who voted against the bill.

How many more American soldiers must die before Pete Sessions and other Republican war supporters are called to account for letting George W. Bush's failed war of choice to go on?
During the debate on the House floor on the non-binding Iraq war resolution, Sessions repeated talking points distributed to Republicans urging them to avoid discussing the merits of the proposal instead of facing reality and admitting that the Bush war has failed badly.
Ultimately, Sessions voted against the resolution disapproving Bush's war (see http://clerk.house.g... ), and I wonder how long with residents in my congressional district (Texas 32) will continue to tolerate a congressman who so routinely ignores the best interests of his district.
In case you haven't seen the talking points memo, here's the link: http://majorityleade... .

Can you believe that in these days of high gas prices that our local congressman would be against helping our nation free itself of its dependence on oil?
Believe it or not, that's what Pete Sessions did when he voted against legislation calling for the development of alternative sources of energy.
The vote was 264-163, and Sessions was joined in the vote against by some other North Texas Republicans-- Jeb Hensarling, Kay Granger, Kenny Marchant, "Smokey" Joe Barton, and Ralph Hall-- in voting against the best interests of their constituents when it comes to ending our energy dependence on oil.

Once again, the congressman from my district, Pete Sessions, has shown a lack of concern for average Texans by voting against their interests.
Sessions did it again Thursday by being one of the only 71 Republicans who voted against legislation to reduce interest rates on student loans.
The vote was 356-71 with 124 Republicans voting aye. Sessions, along with fellow North Texas Republicans "Smoky" Joe Barton, Jeb Hensarling, and Kay Granger, showed that he was out of touch with the needs of average Texans by voting no.
Here's the link: http://clerk.house.g... .

I wanted to let voters in TX-32 know about my new blog Sessions Watch, which I will use to track Pete Sessions' votes over the next two years.
It's my hope that this will help whoever challenges him in 2008, by creating an archive of the votes and rantings of our right-wing extremist (and don't forget "corrupt") Congressman.
If you have a "Pete sighting" in the district, post your story in the comment box, and I'll put your story in a diary (extra points to anyone who can catch Pete in a "macacca moment" and post it on YouTube). :)

Is there any group of average Texans that Pete Sessions or any other Republican do something for?
The same Pete Sessions who voted against increasing funding for stem cell research and increasing the minimum wage also showed his callousness toward some of our nation's most vulnerable citizens-- the elderly-- by voting against allowing the government to negotiate with drug companies to lower prescription drug costs for seniors.
(Here's the link to the complete vote: http://clerk.house.g... )
The House approved the proposal by a 255-170 vote, and Sessions was joined by at least four other North Texas Republicans-- Jeb Hensarling, "Smoky" Joe Barton, Kay Granger, and Kenny Marchant, in voting against the bill.

If you knew nothing else about Rep. Pete Sessions (TX CD-32), it's that he doesn't display a lot of concern about average Texans.
Sessions showed his continued lack of concern about many of his constituents when he voted against the just-passed proposal raising the minimum wage.

I have an announcement to make about this race. This "unwinnable" "republican stronghold" race is now very much winnable. Let's all jump on board and make this actually happen!
Make no mistake, Pete Sessions is serious in his war against clothing.
