Jeff Sessions Shows Hypocrisy On Spending
JeffWartman.com ^ | 02/01/2009 | Jeff Wartman

Posted on 02/01/2009 9:32:25 AM PST by wartman

Jeff Sessions, appearing on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, attempted to explain his opposition to the Obama stimulus plan by stating that, “I don’t think we need to saddle future generations with 1.2 trillion of debt.”

He’s right. It’s wrong to saddle future generations with huge amounts of debt.

Yet it was Senator Jeff Sessions who was giving a rubber stamp to the Bush spending bills that added over 5 trillion dollars to the national debt. Where was Senator Sessions’ outrage when this runway spending was occuring under the Great Spender, George W. Bush?

I’ll wait, but I won’t hold my breath.

No, I’m saying that as long as there are political parties, there will be loyalty to those parties.

Think about that...now can you go back to wherever you came from.

And it’s really, really sad that people put mindless partisanship over doing whats right. Pathetic, even.

I would agree that GW Bush has spent too much on non-WOT items, but it’s misleading to categorize Homeland Security spending with education and prescription drugs.

Your short article would have been better if it included specific Sessions votes and dates. Lately, Sessions voted against the Palson bailout scam, the GM bailout scam, and I believe he will vote against the Obama Swine-ulus.

Which would be fantastic. But we need to take those to task who are responsible for doubling the national debt.

I wouldn’t say mindless though...the Republicans did grow a spine when it came to amnesty...they do have limits, but, I agree, the limits are very high.

Can you imagine if McCain were president now, what a disaster the party would be in?

I didn’t miss a thing, but it sure seems that far too many missed the WOT.

It’s sad, really.

Yep. This is a great time to reorganize the GOP -- get the Bush, McCain big spenders out of the party and return the party to it's limited government roots. Goldwater is rolling over in his grave at what Bush has turned the GOP into.

His record is on par with LBJ spending

This point is well taken, but you want Sessions to explain his " hypocrisy" ? Other than he was supporting the leader of his party during war time, he has no defense.

I'll go with a hypocrite who is doing the right thing now, than a bunch of spiteful socialists.

By the way, wart man, its not like youre the only one who can see the truth. . Theres just not enough time to vote all the spineless followers out of office. Did you notice they have already been refuted at the voting booth?? Its not so courageous to dump on the dumped.

Your point about hypocrisy is well-taken, and it extends to the voters, including the devotees of this site.

I recall the passionate defenses here of Tom DeLay for paying considerable sums from his campaign fund to his daughter for catering, and to his wife as his "political consultant".

As long as Congressmen vote "right" on social issues, people here and generally give them a pass on their personal avarice.

Yeah, just go ahead and go after Sessions. Let’s destroy and undermine him, okay? One of the few remaining Senators with working brain parts and principles, such as believing that defense spending is in a different category from family planning and Acorn subsidies. Whiff of Ron Paul nutjob here, and at the “site.”

How timely. Jeff Sessions makes sense, so they go after him. If it had not been for Jeff Sessions tirelessly going after Bush’s amnesty spending LOUDLY, we’d be a LOT further in debt.

Sessions is one of the few in government who is trying to save this disaster from happening.

Oh, get over it...that is NOT Sessions, and you know it. And if you don’t, you shouldn’t be spouting your ‘opinion’ on a blog. Because that is all it is. Sessions saved us billions fighting amnesty.

Sessions just isn’t RINO enough to suit some. Has this author ever gone after McCain??

Write an article about Bush, shmuckhead, since he was the President and LEADER. Sessions is fighting for us NOW, and only a phony Ron Paul Freak would waste any time on writing about his past fealty to the throne. I know the Democraps could care less about your argument.

After you do that, just go away.

Fighting for smaller government may be “wasting time” to you, but to those of us who believe in a limited government, it’s not.

Here are some facts:

George W. Bush is responsible for some of the largest increases in social welfare spending in the history of the United States. He doubled the national debt during his two terms, and left future generations holding the bill. You are a complete and total statist.
