GOP Congressman Who Said Republicans Need To Be More Like the Taliban Now Says Obama Causing Unemployment On Purpose

American Taliban.Texas GOP clown Pete Sessions last made the news when he suggested the doomed Republicans become more like the Taliban. As the modern Republican is already a fundamentalist nut who buggers little boys, hates science, fears women and constantly fantasizes about being killed for/by God, the only thing left was for the remaining wingnuts to move into caves, with their tea bags and their goats. And this may well have happened, as only 21% of Americans reachable by telephone now admit to being Republican. Anyway, now Pete Sessions is saying Obama is intentionally (and magically) causing both unemployment and a decline in the stock markets. True, maybe?!

Sessions told The New York Times that the administration intends to “diminish employment and diminish stock prices” as part of a “divide and conquer” strategy.

And he asserted that the Obama agenda is “intended to inflict damage and hardship on the free enterprise system, if not to kill it.”

Please note that Sessions is not just another mouth-breathing brain-damaged-at-birth congressman from Dallas who loves to hear himself say weird things — Pete Sessions is the mouth-breathing brain-damaged-at-birth congressman from Dallas who loves to hear himself say weird things who is also chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. You know, the people charged with defending and winning House seats for the GOP.

It’s a great premise, of course: Nobama is personally causing millions of people to lose their jobs, through the witchcraft known as “The Lagging Indicator” and the Time Machine known as “job loss has been steadily increasing for 16 straight months now,” otherwise known as the “First 100 Days.” By demonically taking away the livelihood of working Americans, “The One” will …. somehow …. OKAY WHAT IN THE FUCK POSSIBLE POLITICAL BENEFIT COULD COME FROM MAKING MILLIONS OF VOTERS JOBLESS? HELP US OUT, PETE.

Let’s move on, to the next premise of this Conspiracy: The Obama Administration is also, concurrently, engaged in a sinister decline in stock prices. This will …. oh never mind, who even knows. The only problem with Al Barack Hussein’s “dark” magic against the stock market is that the S&P 500 is at a four-month high, even with today’s 1.6% drop.

And this is how Nobama creates his Socialist Dictatorship.

    Especially unlike friend of the poor, job creator, peacemaker and noted wise genius G W. Bush.

    No wonder there party’s credibility is running out faster than Oprah’s freebie chicken at a KFC.

    Like Bill Maher said. They don’t really have any real ideology anymore. They’re just a bunch of dicks.

  4. Cape Clod says at 3:44 pm, May 11th, 2009

    And what splendid corner of Texas does the distinguished Rep. Sessions come from?

  5. BlueStateLibtard says at 3:44 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I’m not Pete, but I’ll help you out. Maybe by making us all lose our jobs, Obama would force many more of us to enlist, that way we could invade more countries and return his Muslim crown to him?

  6. Hart88 says at 3:44 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Please note that Sessions is not just another mouth-breathing brain-damaged-at-birth congressman from Dallas who loves to hear himself say weird things — Pete Sessions is the mouth-breathing brain-damaged-at-birth congressman from Dallas who loves to hear himself say weird things who is also chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

    I’m sensing a pattern here…

  7. chascates says at 3:45 pm, May 11th, 2009

    So the cure for our economic woes would be lowering the tax rate on the highest earners?

  8. Brendan M. says at 3:46 pm, May 11th, 2009

    You see, Micheal Steele is Obama’s Bismarck, so it all makes sense. It is all strategic, baby!

  9. cockfightbarmitzvah says at 3:46 pm, May 11th, 2009

    NOBAMA is also responsibly for stealing alla my teefs outta my mouth!! He don’t want me bein’ responsible for chewing my own food and wants the gub’nent to do it instead!!

  10. hobospacejunkie says at 3:46 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I’m glad somebody has figured out Obama’s game. Perhaps now we can get back to the fiscal responsibility of the W years.

  11. Bearbloke says at 3:47 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Thank GAWD for Reel Merikins and True Republican Leaders like good ol’ Petey…

  14. GaySailor says at 3:48 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Really, its time to get out the butterfly nets and straight jackets for anyone who has one of those Talibangelical Republicans in their family. I’m hoping here in Oklahoma mental hospitals will offer a “2 for 1 special” on committing the crazies so it doesn’t bankrupt too many families around here. We need to commit Republicans for their own personnel safety and that of the general public. Lets do it for PUBLIC SAFETY!

  15. Brendan M. says at 3:48 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Barack Obama turned me into a newt!

  16. Crab1 says at 3:49 pm, May 11th, 2009

    To recap:
    To R’s leadership incompetence and destruction of the Constitution are wholesome American values and failure to use a secret ability control complex economic indicators to improve said indicators is a sneaky socialist conspiracy. A party of intellectual titans.

  17. Texan Bulldoggette says at 3:49 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Oh, hell. I thought that was Jeff Sessions from AL–because all old white Southern racists pretty much look alike.

  18. RoscoePColtraine says at 3:49 pm, May 11th, 2009

    A Christian Taliban society is exactly what the founding fathers had in mind. Don’t you know nuttin’ ’bout yer Murcan histry? Kudos and skittles, Rep. Sessions.

  19. rambone says at 3:50 pm, May 11th, 2009

    It’s a cunning plan, Barry.

    I always felt that the biggest problem with conspiracy theories was actually developing the theory. Here, it seems that Rep. Sessions has done away with that minor detail and just shouts random allegations and leaves it the observer to do the heavy lifting.

  20. Bearbloke says at 3:51 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Hart88: If that’s the case, then he needs a National Dunce-cap Platform ASAP!

  21. Bearbloke says at 3:51 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Brendan M.: …but it got better!

  22. Bearbloke says at 3:53 pm, May 11th, 2009

    rambone: Standard GOP procedure for the past 15 years, no?

  23. freakishlystrong says at 3:53 pm, May 11th, 2009

    So, people elected him? Oh wait, Texas. Nevermind….

  24. snideinplainsight says at 3:53 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Cupcake - duck. Duck - cupcake.

  25. SmutBoffin says at 3:55 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Not that I truely feel the need to explain for The Esteemed Cockmongler from Texas, but I think that Sessions is attempting to portray Barry as someone who is deliberately precipitating an economic/social crisis to fire up a little Marx-o-Muslin Rev’lution. I know, I know, that’s retarded, too, but Real America gets a kick out of it..

  26. 51dimes says at 3:56 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Perhaps if we’re unemployed, we will be more likely to hang around the basketball court in the park, waiting for Our President to come challange us to a pick-up game. Then, through his grace on the court, we will be vote for him, regardless of our lack of jobs, houses, food, or shirts.

  27. finland says at 3:57 pm, May 11th, 2009

    oh come now msr. layne don’t be daft. of COURSE the point is to cause high unemployment and make the stock market 0 so that the people will be so mad with frenzy that they will accept nobama as the new fuhrer of the USSSSUASA (i think that’s how it’s gonna be spelled).

  28. Cape Clod says at 3:57 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Ah, he’s from Dallas. So, this is W’s representative to congress.

    Figures.

  29. qwerty42 says at 4:00 pm, May 11th, 2009

    I’m thinking there is some rule the Republicans have that says they need to have goofs in leadership roles. There is some greater purpose in having so-called “adults” hold childish, paranoid beliefs — somehow it will lead the rest of the country to see them as the Heroes of the Republic they see themselves to be. I’m just not seeing it, myself. but I’m probably a fascistic socialist atheistic muslin or something. so …

  30. Come here a minute says at 4:02 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Remember folks, this is the loony Sessions. The normal one is Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, who was denied a lifetime appointment as a U.S. Circuit Court judge by the Republican Senate Judiciary Committee in 1986 (for racism), the committee in which he is now the Ranking Republican member.

  31. Hawaiiexpat says at 4:02 pm, May 11th, 2009

    ASSFLAKE.

  32. El Pinche says at 4:03 pm, May 11th, 2009

  33. Scrodd says at 4:05 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Don’t Republicans understand that having so many members that are batshit crazy benefits DEMOCRATS and not them?

    Note to GOP: Put the crazy aunts in your party into the crazy aunt closet.

    Bearbloke: At least with Vince Foster, they came up with an elaborate conspiracy theory. Of course, they had the benefit of IT BEING ALL TRUE!

  41. IonaTrailer says at 4:26 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Sessions is from that part o’ Tex-ass where “guv’mint” is baaaad. You know, that part where everyone does their own air traffic control and inter-state highway construction. Oh yeah, and meat inspection.

  42. IonaTrailer says at 4:27 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Or what the fuck - Alabama. Same smell.

  43. louisev says at 4:30 pm, May 11th, 2009

    the lady MS.Sheila Dixon: My favorite: “No chicken, or just out of chicken?”

  45. The Dallas Office says at 4:38 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Oh GOd, we can’t get rid of Sessions soon enough…as if there weren’t reason enough to hate him, thanks to Tom DeLay’s lovely redistricting, he was pitted against Martin Frost, a senior Democrat (and the only Jewish member of the TX delegation) in 2002. The North Dallas wingnuts chose Sessions. However, I cannot be held responsible for Pete’s craziness, as I am represented by Rep. Marchant - a slightly less crazy Repub.

  46. Nurtz says at 4:40 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Sessions represents the Gray Stayda Tecsus’s 32nd district — Dallas,
    Richardson, Irving, Oak Cliff, and some smaller areas. (Dallas
    county is actually split up into several congressional districts;
    the 5th, the 3rd, the 24th … I think I’m forgetting at least one
    other.)

  47. Accordion-o-rama says at 4:41 pm, May 11th, 2009

    It’s not clear to me how the Republicans could be “more like the Taliban”.

  48. dijetlo says at 4:43 pm, May 11th, 2009

    He and the guy from Alabama have the same Daddy-Uncle-Brother, they was just born’d from different sisters.

  49. AKAM80TheWolf says at 4:43 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Sounds like ol’ Petey just needs a ‘Sexytime’ session on the beach with a hot Latino priest.

  50. nappyduggs says at 4:45 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Ok, so let’s all cross one of our eyes and look at this from a different angle- just think that not even fifty years ago folks like Sneaky Petey Sessions wouldn’t have given Obama credit for anything more than maybe having a huge pernis that he used to rape up the white wominns. Now, a black man CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE. P.R.O.G.R.E.S.S., betches. Suck on it.

  53. Nurtz says at 4:55 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Actually, I overlooked the funny part of this the first
    time that I read it.

    Sessions says that Obama is causing the recession and
    job losses that began a year before his inauguration.

    I guess he is some sort of mysterious master of the magic
    arts …

    No, you don’t need to be named “Sessions.”

  60. zenferret says at 5:28 pm, May 11th, 2009

    “The NRCC’s chief spokesman, Ken Spain, defended the allegation that Obama – who has repeatedly vowed to help the economy recover – secretly welcomes a slump in employment and investments.”

    Since they all have to toe the party line, each one has to up the antee on crazy.
    So, when do they start drinking the Kool Aid?

    Republican, ‘independent’, ‘libertarian’, ‘free-marketer’, ’small government philosopher’, chemtrail conspiracist, black heli wierdo, Fremen, …

    They’re all just teabaggers, good for nothing but ridicule.

    No need for concentration camps though…

    Secession baby! Lone Star, one nation under Walker, Tex ass ranger.

    Take your whining to Preznit Norris, Sessions. We’re done with y’all, comrade.
