Are Texas Republican politicians preternaturally stupid?
Their redneck governor Rick Perry recently floated a secession trial balloon, and now dumbass Texas Rep. Pete Sessions says that President Obama is actually trying to increase unemployment.
From ThinkProgress:
At the beginning of April, a Fox News poll asked respondents whether they believed that President Obama “wants the financial crisis to continue so government can take over more businesses and grow the federal government.” Only 23 percent said that they thought Obama wanted it to continue, but that minority view was recently endorsed by a top-ranking Republican official. Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), the chairman of the NRCC, told the New York Times that he believes President Obama aims to “‘diminish employment and diminish stock prices‘ as part of a ‘divide and conquer’ strategy to consolidate power”:
In an interview, Mr. Sessions cited rising unemployment in asserting that the administration intended to “diminish employment and diminish stock prices” as part of a “divide and conquer” strategy to consolidate power.
Mr. Sessions, in his seventh term, said Mr. Obama’s agenda was “intended to inflict damage and hardship on the free enterprise system, if not to kill it.” By next fall, he predicted, voters may regain appreciation for the era of Republican governance when “many dreams were achieved,” the size of the economy doubled and employment and financial markets hit record levels.
Sessions is a Confederate scumbag. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) named him one of the 20 most corrupt members of Congress in its second annual report on that topic in 2006. His ties to corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his suggestion that the GOP adopt the "insurgency" tactics of the Taliban seem to indicate that if stupidity isn't a stated prerequisite for Texas Republicans, neither does it stand in the way of elective office in the Lone Star State.
UPDATE:
Not surprisingly, Big & Sweaty agrees with Sessions.
