Pete Sessions (TX-32) now facing a GOP primary challenger
Oh, Lordy, here's David Smith...

Today I am proud to announce my candidacy for the 32nd Congressional District from the Great State of Texas and I want you to be the first to know. My decision to run has not been made lightly, and I can no longer continue to witness the reckless behavior of our government. I respect your hard work as the backbone of the local Republican Party and look forward to meeting you, working with you and hearing your views on the pressing issues facing our nation and Texas' 32nd District...

I am a conservative Republican that endorses the State Platform, and as a corporate accounting professional, I am also a strong fiscal conservative. And sadly I recognize that record budget deficits under Republican leadership led to the exponentially greater debt spending that we see today. I know that our government is broke, in more ways than one, and pledge to do the job our current leadership is failing to perform.

Any chance that Sarah Palin will support him against Taliban Pete?

:rofl:

2. This will be a bruising primary

Neither candidate is going to come out looking like a winner.

3. Any chance he 'll actually have the money and organization to damage Sessions?
Or is he just another nutjob like that teabagger Medina running against Goodhair and KBH for governor?

4. Sessions backed Scozzafava in the NY-23 race...
...which means it is likely that Palin, Limbaugh, Beck, et al might give Smith some serious consideration while trying to decide which horse to cheer in the primary race.

Then again, Sessions is the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, so the Tea Party's financial backers might determine it wiser to focus on lower-hanging fruit instead. But anything's possible at this point.

Gotta say, I'm loving that the lesson of NY23 doesn't appear to be sinking in with the Palinista teabag crowd.

7. When Pete Sessions looks halfway normal in comparison you know the teabaggers
have gone off the deep end. Actually, they never were sane to begin with! LOL
