Jeffy Was On Television ...

Fox News, of course.  And what was our junior Senator doing in this incredibly softball interview with the nice Fox anchorlady?  Making up excuses for why Republicans voted against tax cuts for the middle class.

Sessions seemed to be suffering from the same memory lapse as his fellow Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who tried blaming the cuts to military spending as part of the sequestration plan, when Republicans are the ones who insisted we make the defense cuts rather than raise taxes.

Sessions followed that by pretending that spending on food stamps is not stimulative to the economy (which is utterly false) and attacking those who are dependent on our social safety nets during this horrible economy that his party is primarily responsible for creating. It's kind of tough pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps when there are no jobs to be found, or very few due to the fact that the economy has not recovered and the fact that Republicans have been doing everything within their power to make sure it stays that way.

Sessions is essentially lecturing people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps ... when they don't even have boots.

If you watch the video at the link above, pay attention at about 2:40 when Jeffy literally salivates at what a powerful position he'll be in if Republicans take control of the Senate.  Then go contribute to some of the Democrats in key Senate races ... Bill Nelson in Florida, Elizabeth Warren in Mass., Claire McCaskill in Missouri, Jon Tester in Montana, Tim Kaine in Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota, Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin, Sherrod Brown in Ohio or Shelley Berkely in Nevada ... to make sure Republicans don't take control of the Senate.
