District 18 may pay price for Lee's pace (Sheila Jackson Lee throws cell phone at staffer & more)

With Cynthia McKinney on the way out, Queen Sheila's now officially the most obnoxious left wing camera hog in Congress. Any ideas on how to cause a repeat of Georgia CD 4 in Texas CD 18?

[Texas Eagle]

Records acquired under the Freedom of Information Act indicate that Jackson Lee has done a fraction of the casework -- inquiries or intercessions with the federal government on behalf of residents -- done by other Houston-area lawmakers.

Wait a minute. This may not be such a bad thing.

[Aggie Mama]

No way it's going to happen unless you change the racial structure of her district.

[sneakypete]

Yale education.

Huh? "Yale Education"? Hmmm,doesn't "the smartest woman in the world" have a "Yale Education",too?

[LibKill]

Wait a minute. This may not be such a bad thing.

LOL! Of course. Sloth on the part of marxists is a good thing.

And ya get in your car,
And ya drive real far,
And ya drive all night,
And then ya see a light,
And it comes right down
And lands on the ground,
And out comes a man from Mars.
And ya try to run,
But he's got a gun,
And he shoots ya dead,
And he eats your head,
And then you're in the man from Mars.
You go out at night, eatin' cars,
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too,
Mercurys and Subarus,
And ya don't stop,
You keep on eatin' cars.
Then, when there's no more cars,
You go out at night and eat up bars,
Where the people meet,
Face to face,
Dance cheek to cheek,
One to one,
Man to man.
Dance toe to toe,
Don't move to slow,
Cause the man from Mars,
Is through with cars,
He's eatin' bars.
Yeah, wall to wall,
Door to door,
Hall to hall,
He's gonna eat 'em all,
Rapture.

Actually, this is a bad thing.
Congressional Reps should spend about half their time helping constituents who have trouble when trying to do "business" with the Federal government. The other half of the time they should be engaged in their function of government oversight (doing things like making sure the alphabet agencies are doing their jobs and keeping America safe from terrorist attacks). Only a small part of their job should be dedicated to new legislation. Some 86,000 new laws are place on the books every year in this country (obviously, not all from Congress), which indicates that representatives across the board (state and Federal) have their priorities mixed up. They spend way too much time on new legislation instead of representing their constituents with matters before the government bureaucracies.

Hope eligible Texans vote her socialist racist seditious butt back onto the streets ...........

Stay Safe !

[Texas Eagle]

Uhhhhh, do you realize who Jackson-Lee's constituents are?

They're a bunch of lazy slobs who spend their whole lives sucking at the teat of government. And what comes out of those teats is the taxes you and I pay.

[Illbay]

Interesting. We have 435 "Godfathers" running around, with all their "Capos" and Lieutenants and "soldiers" doing the dirty work, etc.

No wonder even a well-meaning and seemingly perfect "conservative" GOPer can come off sounding every bit the RINO in election ads.

Case in point: The ad running here in Houston for Tom DeLay, arch-conservative, boasting about how much, how quickly and how desperately he wants to use OUR money to pay for prescription drugs for seniors.

NOTE: this isn't a personal dig at DeLay; he's simply one of the Godfathers. But the system corrupts even someone of his caliber.

TERM LIMITS NOW!!!!!!!

As a resident I probably should object to a comment like that. But then I stop and think about it as I am not really Sheila's constituent. For a conservative in her district it's almost like having no representative in Congress. And yes, the people who vote for her highness include more than their fair share of welfare slobs.

[Texas Eagle]

Perhaps I used a broad brush. I'm glad you weren't in the path. Maybe I should've limited my diatribe to the constituents who seek her magical powers to solve their life's problems. Most of which I am sure they are 100% responsible for.

[GOPcapitalist]

Hope eligible Texans vote her socialist racist seditious butt back onto the streets ...........

It'd definately be nice. The GOP opponent is a man named Philip Abbott. I plan on voting for him and doing what I can to help, even though it's uphill.

Philip Abbott for Congress (Sheila's opponent this November)

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Leon Buck, who had been Jackson Lee's only long-term Washington employee before leaving recently to become a lobbyist, said the congresswoman sees turnover as something that goes along with her office.

He said she doesn't worry about it, and she doesn't intend to change.

That can be loosely translated to mean "Hell I can replace these no nothing drones faster than they can print up their resumes. Who cares about them, they need this job more than I need them."

[Squantos]

Would love to help but too far away up here in the Panhandle.......Good Luck ! and let me know what I can do from here .

Stay Safe !

[GOPcapitalist]

I heard that ad too...sickening. The only one I know of who doesn't get into that garbage is Ron Paul. Though the Dems are definately more involved in it that we are...

[GOPcapitalist]

Pass his name on to any friends in the 18th district. BTW, are you in Combest or Stenholm's district? The latter's another Dem that needs to go.

[Brimack34]

Is she the won that thought we landed on mars? rush plaed the tape of her saying that. I think it was her.

[Jolly Rodgers]

TERM LIMITS NOW!!!!!!!

What are you, some kind of anti-government anarchist whacko?
