Delusional Ramblings (D-Texas)
Words, I think, fail.
From The Hill, some choice delusional ramblings from the Master of the Craft, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee:
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) urged her colleagues to reach a compromise to prevent spending cuts through sequestration, arguing that government programs are already as lean as they can be.
"We're at the bone almost, and sequester, that is across-the-board cuts, will literally destroy us and put us in a recession," she said on the House floor Wednesday.
She called on Republicans to meet Democrats at the negotiating table and rejected the idea that President Obama delivered a partisan State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Sequester, remember, is an idea put forth by President Barack Obama. It's what we might call an Obama Sequester. In fact, we should start calling it that.
And the idea that government programs are already as lean as they can be would be laughable if I didn't also have TurboTax open on my desktop.

She has credibility, Rob. After all, she's a freed slave (which would make her 148 years old assuming she was born in 1865): http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2013/02/13/Dem-Rep-Sheila-Jackson-Lee-Plays-The-Slave-Card

She certainly appears to possess the reasoning capacity of a 148 year old.

Well, she's nuts for considering these cuts painful, but it's pleasant that she does. Bring on the Sequester. Followed by Sequester II, III, and IV.

It does make you wonder about those voters who keep sending her back to DC. Unless they are just trying to keep her far out of TX.
Re: Delusional Ramblings (D-Texas)
Words fail, but they also successfully deceive. From the last century to this, words have been tools used to make bad look good, and to make tyranny look like equality.

It's so reassuring that she can use "literally" much the same way our esteemed Vice President can.

I blame Lee's election success on Aaron for not working hard enough down there.

Hey, slick - we're already in a recession. Your spending is what's put us there. Cause and effect, genius.
These are the best people we can put in Congress out of a nation of 300 million? To paraphrase Public Enemy, it takes a nation of millions to keep electing idiots to the highest posts in the land.
Awful. She's simply awful.

I want Sheila to stick around, so whenever an effete Northeastern liberal talks about all those ignorant nutjob right-wing politicians from Texas, I can point to her to prove that being an ignorant nutjob is a bipartisan affair.

We're at the bone! How can you run this country on a budget as scant as $2.1 trillion? We need to tack on $1 trillion dollar deficits because the rich refuse to pay their fair share!

Re: Delusional Ramblings (D-Texas)
I've had to go through budget cuts myself, and look at a list of names and decide which had to go. They are easy at first. But after 3 or 4 rounds, they become hard. Look across the table at someone who's worked at the company for 20+ years and tell them it's time for them to leave. Go through a budget and cut 30%, no matter what. That's what is meant by "to the bone."

The key to achieving bipartisanship is not to laugh hysterically when lunatic Democrats begin speaking in their gibberish.

I don't care how hard it may seem, but we can't be caught snickering at this sort of stuff.
.

If the cameras show us laughing at Democrats, it may hurt our image as wanting to be bipartisan. And we all want to look like we enjoy bipartisanship, don't we?

At least she didn't say anything silly such as talking about an island tipping over or mental midgets.

Re: Delusional Ramblings (D-Texas)
Sheila is my esteemed representative. Her husband Elwine Lee taught me Torts in first year law school. In all my years of schooling, he was (in my opinion) my worst teacher ever. I had the distinction of Am Juring his course.

Re: Delusional Ramblings (D-Texas)
The sequester gambit has boomeranged on the Dems and Obama. Originally, they relied on the Repubs fighting sequestation because the Repubs were so attached to defense spending. But here's the rub: the sequester makes cuts to the defense that Obama wants to make *anyway.* So the sequester takes away the chess move they were planning on making to cut spending. And they have to endure cuts to domestic programs as well. They can't fight defense cuts today and then make them tomorrow. They are hosed. Bring on sequester. At least we'll get domestic cuts we wouldn't get otherwise, and the defense cuts were already built into the model.

Re: Delusional Ramblings (D-Texas)
Long ago, the Supreme Court decided that it was constitutional to gerrymander districts that created majority-black districts. I probably would have done the same... I bet it felt like a wonderful thing at the time.
But it backfired. The race-bating faction of the left managed to take over these areas, and now they're the kinds of places that keep crazies like this in positions of power.

Hey, Rep. Hank Johnson took the floor to apologize for saying the dreaded midget...I mean M-word.
It's amazing how Democrats get away with mocking "nuts" on the right, or this ludicrous outcry over Rubio drinking water, when they repeatedly elect incomprehensible buffoons to Congress.

I agree. It's Aaron's fault.

Yes its all Arrons fault.
I have heard (and I’m not sure its true so of course I will repeat it here ) that the republicans drew her district so only an individual of here capabilities could be elected.
SheJack is the gift that keeps on giving. She goes through more staff than Elton John does cabana boys!
