Why aren't there more senators like Sessions?

Has this writer ever described a democrat in a similar way??
To: reaganaut1
Any Republican that votes for this bill is an idiot.

That’s a smile I’d like to see in the White House.
I don’t think Jeff caves on his principles.
To: MestaMachine
However they are few and far between.

I've always liked Senator Jeff Sessions a lot. He doesn't have the "fire in the belly" of a Ted Cruz or Mike Lee, but he can fight just as effectively with his southern gentleman style.
Whereas a Cruz or a Lee or a Paul will make a libtard head explode, Sessions will just politely eviscerate them and remove their stuffing.
He is a competent jurist with a keen mind. I believe he was once on the short list as a SCOTUS nominee, but was forced to withdraw when the libtards threatened a filibuster. I'll bet some of them have come to regret it.

He was nominated for a judgeship and deemed unfit for service by none other than "Swimmer".
How sweet is was then for Fat Boy to ultimately have to deal with Senator Sessions on the Judiciary Committee.
Karma is what it is...

Sessions is good at math as well as categorization. We see the problem right here at FR from time to time. Folks will see the national total population demographic data and begin running in circles shouting that the white Republicans are a declining number of people. At the same time they fail to note that not everybody votes! They also fail to note that different populations have different distributions. Some are heavily rural while others are urban. Yet others dominant the suburbs, and others live near the coasts.
All things considered Republicans continue to be highly competitive politically.
Sessions knows that. He understands that each Senator also understands his own state's demographic distribution even if he has no idea what's going on nationally.
Sessions runs out the clock while he's making converts even in enemy lines.

Thanks for the correction. Yes, he was nominated by Reagan to be a Federal District judge. They killed it in committee with two RINO senators (Mathias of Maryland and our own Arlen Specter) joining the Democrat minority.
The official excuse was some disparaging but entirely accurate remarks that Sessions once made about the NAACP.

> “The Republican drubbing in November among Latino voters, ...”
Republicans were not drubbed by Latinos because Latinos made up 8.7% of the registered voters of which a little more than half turned out to vote. Even if all Latino voters had turned out they would not have locked in the election for democrats.
> “...the shifting demographics of the American electorate, ...”
A lot of deception has accompanied demographic statistics on latinos.
> “...and the rise of telegenic champions of the immigration changes like Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, both Republicans, have changed the stakes as well as the political equation.”
Rubio and Ryan are GOPe foster children. They are neither telegenic nor are they champions.

Jeff is a good man and very smart. He keeps asking “ What will this immigration bill do for Americans?” No one answers that question. He has the ability to keep it simple. Makes Libs an Rinos crazy.
