Pete Sessions(R-TX): 'GOP must model the Taliban to create a GOP Insurgency'
We have been calling the GOP/Tea Party "The American Taliban" for many reasons. It seems they are openly and actively seeking that label:
. . .
Pete Sessions solution is create GOP Taliban-style Insurgency:
In 2009, Pete Sessions declared he wanted the GOP to model the Taliban in creating a GOP Insurgency and Kevin McCarthy demanded an "unyielding opposition" to every single economic policy presented even if the policy is a GOP policy.
In February 2, 2009, Politico reported:
NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) repeated the request during his own briefing for members Friday telling Republicans that they need to get over the idea that theyre participating in legislation and ought to start thinking of themselves as an insurgency instead.
Just get over it! You're not in DC to legislate! You're in DC to create an "insurgency."
. . .
"PETE SESSIONS: Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban. And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- [is] an example of how you go about to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with."
~Rep Pete Sessions, March 2009 to National Journal Hotline
