MORE ON DISHONESTY IN ADVERTISING

If Pete Sessions hasn’t read Dick Armey’s piece yesterday in the Washington Post, his constituents should. Notable recent achievements of Pete’s Republican Congress?

Rather than rolling back government, we have a new $1.2 trillion Medicare prescription drug benefit, and non-defense discretionary spending is growing twice as fast as it had in the Clinton administration. Meanwhile, Social Security is collapsing while rogue nations are going nuclear and the Middle East is more combustible than ever. Yet Republican lawmakers have taken up such issues as flag burning, Terri Schiavo and same-sex marriage.

Come to think of it, Armey’s replacement in the House, Michael Burgess, and our newest representative from Dallas, Kenny Marchant–both of whose voting records are much worse than Pete’s–should read it too.
