[sendero]

2. Hey..

[Hubert Flottz]

3. Another Chickenhawk dreg!

That is one of their best bets too!

EDIT...Looks like he joined the NG in the last year of the draft lottery to escape Nam. He mst have lost his protection from being drafted by going to school that year, so he joined a unit that was sure to be safe at home. He got out of Nam like Bush did!

4. Jeff Sessions--the Twang of Democracy....

WJ guy mentioned this morning that Rs are deparately trying to float southern Rs for 08 because they don't think they are represented enough on tickets. Shoot, everywhere I look I see southern Republicans. I'd settle for a Yank now and then.

[Hubert Flottz]

11. Jeff Sessions and democracy shouldn't even be written on the...

same page! If Jeff Sessions or Hatch were sElected we might as well change our country's name to Bananastan! can you say "Sieg Heil".

Turning Back the Clock On Voting Rights

The investigation proved an embarrassment for the US Attorney, Jeff Sessions. A year later, in 1986, when Sessions was being considered for a federal judgeship, witnesses recalled his treatment of the Marion Three and several alleged racist remarks he had made about blacks during his tenure as US Attorney. A black former attorney who worked under Sessions said he was once called "boy" by Sessions and that Sessions once spoke fondly of Ku Klux Klan members who lynched a black man. Another witness said Sessions once called a white civil rights attorney a "traitor to his race." Sessions said the remarks about the Klan and the white attorney were jokes. The Senate Judiciary Committee did not find the jokes funny; Sessions was denied a judgeship, becoming the only one of Ronald Reagan's 269 nominees to the federal bench to be rejected. He did go on to become the Attorney General of Alabama.

Sessions, a Republican, later won the Senate seat vacated by Senator Howell Heflin, an Alabama Democrat who had voted against his judgeship. In the Senate, Sessions was one of the biggest critics of President Clinton's temporary appointment of Bill Lann Lee to the Justice Department's top civil rights post in 1997. Lee was at the time of his appointment the western regional counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the same group that opposed Sessions in his voter-fraud campaigns.

While Sessions was leading the case against the Marion Three, Frank Donaldson, the US Attorney in Birmingham, was trying to make a voter-fraud case against Spiver Gordon, a local official in Greene County and an activist with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a group co-founded by Martin Luther King Jr. Gordon was found guilty of four counts of voter fraud: two counts of mail fraud and two counts of providing false information to an election manager. But the US Court of Appeals later overturned the charges, ruling that Gordon had been denied equal protection because the government had used all its peremptory challenges to strike every black potential juror from his trial. The court also held that Gordon's lawyers had proved that voter-fraud investigations had occurred only in those counties where blacks made up a significant part of the population and that those indicted were affiliated with majority-black groups. But perhaps the most damning piece of evidence in overturning Gordon's conviction was a statement by an unidentified Justice Department spokesman in Washington who said that the prosecution of black political activists in Alabama's Black Belt without prosecution of whites was "a new policy...brought on by the arrogance on the part of blacks in these counties."

Controversy

Hurricane Katrina and Estate Tax Reform

Sessions drew considerable controversy after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Cost. He suggested to a colleague a way to rejuvenate his bill to repeal the estate tax, which had lost momentum: "Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl and I were talking about the estate tax. If we knew anybody that owned a business that lost life in the storm, that would be something we could push back with."<1> (http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1106213,00.html)

Support of Torture

Sessions again raised eyebrows by being a devoted opponent of Senator John McCain's anti-torture amendment. Being one of only nine senators to oppose the amendment, he now supports Vice President Dick Cheney's proposal to exempt the CIA from the torture ban.

Repeated Claims of Racism

Prior to being nominated to federal court, Sessions had unsuccessfully prosecuted three civil rights workers (including Albert Turner, a former aide to Martin Luther King, Jr) on a scant case of voter fraud. Sessions had spent hours interrogating black voters in predominately black counties, which produced only 14 allededly tampered ballots out of the more than 1.7 million cast in the 1984 election. The three men were acquitted in four hours. Civil rights groups accused Sessions of aggressively looking for voter fraud in black communities while overlooking any violations among whites.

During his nomination to federal court, it was revealed that Sessions had once labeled the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) "un-American," "Communist-inspired," and that they "forced civil rights down the throats of people." At his confirmation hearings, Sessions claimed that the groups could be un-American when "they involve themselves in un-American positions" in foreign policy. MORE...

[CottonBear]

35. All of those racist quotes need to be flung back at him in any campaign.

There's no way he can weasel out and try to explain that shit to a national audience these days.

[bdamomma]

5. can I do this now

:puke:

[Deb]

6. He's the King of GOP Creeps

ewwww, he makes my skin crawl. The only way I could sit through a televised debate with that little puke is wrapped in a heating blanket to keep the goose bumps down. He would make the perfect GOP candidate.:rofl:

[DemonFighterLives]

7. I heard this too and nearly fell out of my chair

:rofl: I guess it is a trial lead balloon.
Something about immigration-
:puke: :rofl: :puke:
:silly:

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. Right. The 'drafters' love his position on immigration.

Of course the reason would have to be based on the latest wedge issue.:eyes: The repuke sheeple are so easily manipulated with talking points and wedge issues. What a pathetic lot they are.

[DemonFighterLives]

12. I assume he must be a wall lover

or a minuteman lover.
Oops- was that a freudian slip?

[Mist]

8. Some people have to change the channel or leave the room when

Shrub is on TV-they can't literally can't stand hearing his voice. I feel precisely that way about Sessions-visceral repugnance.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. Me too! I can't hit the MUTE button fast enough!

That high pitched, whiny nasally twang he has just drives me up a wall!

[porphyrian]

13. Everyone who wants to should run.

If anyone in the Sessions campaign is reading this, despite what the other posters might say, we are actually very worried that Jeff might run because he is such a strong candidate.

[checkmate1947]

16. Are you out of your mind??

I have met this guy in Montgomery, he is worse in person, than
on tv.

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. I think that was a "tongue in cheek" post.

Just guessin' though. ;)

[porphyrian]

22. Don't listen to this poster, Sessions campaign.

Jeff should definitely run for president against McCain and whatever Democrat wins the primary. This just underlines how threatened we are by the idea, proving how strong his chances are.

[Ilsa]

14. Oh, this is great! Please let this asshat be the poster boy for the GOP! n

[warrens]

18. This should be pretty entertaining

It's really turned into this. You have to be a total fruitcake to win in the south. Even the repukes in the north will be laughing at this one.

[long_green]

27. Sessions is bad enough to chase Northern Republicans out of

the GOP altogether. I wish him well.

[marmar]

19. He's yet another brainless Bush brownshirt in Congress...

He, like Frist, represents so much of what is f..ked up about this country right now.

[napi21]

20. Didn't he try that once before? I seem to remember his nsty little

grin in the lineup back when the Pubs had a cast of thousands trying to be their candidate. Steve Forbes, Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson, etc. Wasn't
Sessions in the beginning of that mess too?

[Zynx]

21. That fetid shit?

Wow. That would be something.

[izzie]

23. Oh Please. Could any one take that voice for 4 years?

--

[MurrayDelph]

24. Not just the voice

but that idiotic grin while he says something he thinks is clever, thinking he is the only
smart person in the room (and is wrong on both counts).

[Judi Lynn]

25. Gee, there are so many heroic Republicans to choose from!

Little Jeffie Sessions. There should be a photo of him on Santa's knee knocking around somewhere.



At least he's not youthfully indiscreet Henry Hyde!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

28. Every time I see his face...

I can only think of that kid in "Deliverence" with the banjo! Session just looks like generations of inbreeding to me. His stupidity proves it. :D

[niccolos_smile]

26. Who??

Exactly why he won't be a presidential candidate; he isn't known to pretty much anyone outside of the kudzu lined @$$hole of America.

[Ghost in the Machine]

29. Banjo Boy wants to be preznit?!?

<~~~ President???

[in_cog_ni_to]

31. Oh my.....the resemblance is STUNNING.

Why is Feuding Banjo's playing in my head? HEY! That could be Sessions' Campaign theme song!:rofl:

[Ghost in the Machine]

33. This is who I thought of the very first time I ever saw Sessions...

and it's just stuck with me.

[Strawman]

30. If you're that dumb, you'd better at least have a familiar brand name

Plus, this guy's daddy doesn't have the kind of friends necessary to install his dumb ass in the White House.

Other than that, why shouldn't he run? He ain't all high falutin' and luvs him some Jaysus. That makes him perfectly qualified to run the United States. :sarcasm:

[Ikonoklast]

32. Well, 'ol Jefferson Davis may just give him a run for the money!

You were talking about the President of the Confederacy, right?

[ThoughtCriminal]

34. GOP Message

See! We can do worse!

[Moloch]

36. Here's to hoping he gets the nomination.....

His kind of fundamentalist shyte may fly in Alabama but there's no way he would get any support at all in purple and blue states.

[LSK]

37. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LSK]

38. CAN YOU IMAGINE A KERRY VS SESSIONS DEBATE!?!?!?

or Feingold vs Sessions?

or Clark vs Sessions?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[KamaAina]

41. Or Edwards vs. Sessions, or Clinton vs. Sessions, or...

Remember, being a Democrat means never having to say "I know he's a complete idiot, but I voted for him anyway."

[11 Bravo]

39. Damn, I hope he does it!

That would leave George Allen (R-VA) the UNDISPUTED dumbest mother-fucker in the U.S. Senate.

[B Calm]

40. His only platform = No Flag Burning
