On the Senate floor on Friday, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) mocked and blistered Karl Rove and his "fat cat" and "country club" pals at American Crossroads for being out of touch with working class Americas on immigration.
Sessions, one of the staunchest opponents of the Senate's immigration bill, said Rove "raised a bunch of money for Crossroads to run ads in the last election that was supposed to elect Mr. Romney. Didn't do so well, Karl. Sorry about that. Wish you'd been more effective." American Crossroads wasted more $100 million last year and supported no winning candidates.
He suggested Rove and his "Crossroads guys" may have been more effective if they talked to regular people and discovered their opposition to amnesty.
"But the crew, the Crossroads guys that go to the country clubs and drink with each other and plot and think they know something about politics--and haven't been out talking to real people in decades--they thought they knew better," Sessions said. "And they've been telling us all how we're supposed to do this and what good politics is."
He said Rove recently said in an op-ed that, "it's important that Republicans avoid calling a 'pathway to citizenship' amnesty."

“I am wishing a long life and many more years in the US Senate for Senator Jeff Sessions. “
He is 66 and up for election next year.
The country is burning and one man says it honesty about Karl Rove. Jeff Sessions is one cool man. I have always admired him. That is what a real patriot looks like.
“Rove recently said in an op-ed that, “it’s important that Republicans avoid calling a ‘pathway to citizenship’ amnesty.”
Rove also told Tom Tacredo never to “darken the doorstep of the White House” after Tancredo fought Jorge Bush on amnesty in 2002.
Bravo for Sessions. He’s naming names and kicking rear ends. No one is opposing the latest amnesty disaster more than Sessions.
AMEN
Two people I dislike.
Perhaps Adelson was deliberately bankrolling Newt to help divide primary votes so Romney could win????????
Great idea, and I agree!
A most righteous smack down by Senator Sessions.
These bastards fear nothing. That has to change.
Don’t forget what he did to Christine O’Donnell on the very hour of her primary win.
I will never forgive the sonofabitch for that.
he;s a country club elitist who thinks of all this as a game as do the others like him on his side and the left
