Trick question! Sessions is the human incarnation of conservative values, just like Gramm, Delay, W, and Cornyn. "Hensarling (and some others like him) are the future of the party." Yes God, please, please, please, make it so-another angry white male clueless fringe extremist, this Demo can only dream!

That said, I would love for Hensarling to be my rep instead of Sessions. I myself have thought about challenging Sessions but decided I did not want to live through the sleaze of a campaign. I remain convinced, though, that a true conservative has the ability to take Sessions out. Wick purporting to speak on behalf of Republicans is amusing.

Pretty much everything the County Party does is to benefit the future of Pete Sessions. Hopefully, someday, Chairman Neerman will do what is right for the sake of the GOP. If not, 2010 will be just like 2008. Even with all his troubles, Sessions still controls the Chairman of the Dallas County Republican Party.

Sessions is clueless. Hensarling is brilliant. Sessions will lead the party to another HUGE loss in 2010 - a year when they should be rebounding. Hensarling (and some others like him) are the future of the party. Sessions (and people like him) are the past. It may take incompetent management from Sessions and crew to get rid of enough Republicans to put people like Hensarling in charge. Trey, you hit the nail on the head. Sessions is clueless.

Wick still thinks he can get away with the "Republican speaking truth to Republican power" schtick, but he's a Democrat lapdog and everyone knows it. Now that his weekly anti-Republican propaganda has been put out there, he'll waddle back to his country club and await the calls from his new liberal buddies telling him how brave he is for standing up to those evil white male neocons. And Wick? We all know how much you admire "real conservatives" like Andrew Sullivan, so make sure to let us know if he ever figures out who the real mother of Trig Palin is.

Now lets see if you have the same vigor in looking at Eddie Bernice's involvement in the community re-investment act. She does not see a connection in the the Fannie Mae and Freddie mess and the CRA. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are the face of the crowd that carried the water for the Clinton Admin in pushing the boundaries of acceptable lending principles....and EBJ was there doing her part as well. I look forward to you exposing this with the same intensity. FYI, she is now working on a 'modernized' version of the CRA....how many millions of our tax dollars will go to ACORN in her plan?

I'll take those odds. Ten will get you one. Maybe you should observe more in that twilight between the meds being effective and that afternoon jello snack.
