Several Democrats have said in the last few days that there isn’t a spending problem. That appears to be the official party line.

She sounds just like a car salesman...

“We’re already losing money on this deal!”

CALL THEIR BLUFF!

PLEASE!

Once people see that the sky hasn't fallen, more cuts can be made.

The Republicans don't have the guts. So we have to make them fear us more than the media.

And that's what the Tea Party is all about.

Fear the Tea Party, Johnny. Fear the Tea Party.

“I stand here as a freed slave because this Congress came together. Are we going to be able to do it today to free America?”

Really???

I stand here as an ensalved taxpayer because of morons like you Ms. Lee.

And by “at the bone almost,” she means she can no longer take a limousine for the two block trip from her house to the office every day:

If we hadn’t wasted so much money putting flags on Mars in the 60’s we wouldn’t have any problems.

Sheila Jackson Lee is both remarkably ignorant and utterly repugnant. We should try to get the MSM to give her all the airtime they possibly can...

Sheila Jackass Lee: "I don't want to hear the fact that the president is divisive..."

Translation: Yes, it is most assuredly a fact that the president is divisive, but I would prefer it if you didn't remind me. Doing so intrudes upon the fantasy world I have constructed in the vast, empty void that is my own head.

When you’re “at the bone”, I guess the only way out is to borrow billions more, huh? After all, surely it’s better to do that, than amputate bones.....

That photo reminds me of Chris Rock’s documentary “Good Hair” about the expense and obsession that black women have with “good hair”. Vanity, thy name is pride.

“Jackson Lee was one of a handful of Democrats who took to the House floor to warn that the $85 billion in cuts to 2013 spending in the sequester, due to take place in March, would devastate people who rely on government services.”

One can only hope! SJL represents a “Gimme my free $hit” district!

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee-—
She is out of a job if the Federales aren’t spending billions on AA and reparations and welfare. The Department of Education is one huge affirmative action jobs program and Obama’s ObamaCare bureaucracy will be the same. The TSA already is

Hard to tell if she’s a congresswoman or a phone recipient.

Rush was talking to the woman that had her $200 purse stolen, which contained $800 in cash, a $200 smart phone, and her foodstamps.

Did someone hear how that continued interview went?

Hey DUmmie, the borrower is slave to the lender, so you are claiming that we should use the accomplishment of freeing slaves as an excuse to enslave us.

You are a moron.

How the hell is cutting .02 cents out of every dollar spent considered “to the bone?”
