Fuck Pete Sessions

By Byron LaMasters

I'm about to head out here, but I've received several calls regarding Pete Sessions yard sign stealing today, and Kos has the proof.

Sessions is really a worthless scumbag, and idiot at that, so I'll be back with more later this evening when I get home from dinner and a meeting.

Update: Ok, no more posts tonight on this, but Josh Marshall has some good stuff on the topic, here and here.

By the way, Pete Sessions is obviouslly paranoid. Take a look at the last email he sent to his supporters:


August Mega Walks have Started!! – Team Sessions completed its first of three Mega Walks this past Saturday with tremendous success. With more than enough walkers to cover the four North Dallas precincts that were scheduled, we were able to send walkers into three other precincts. Folks – that is dedication from a volunteer corp. which is putting Martin Frost and his paid "volunteers" to shame.

Mr. Frost is so deficient in his efforts that he even sent his Campaign Manager, Jess Fassler, out this weekend to harass our walkers and lead a group of Frosty workers who were instructed to tear off the door hangers that our folks were putting on homes. No doubt, this is very annoying, but it shows what pathetic shape the Frost campaign is in. They cannot stage their own positive voter contact effort, so they are now left to trying to disrupt ours. As always, be on the lookout for this type of activity – if we can secure photos or film, witnesses, and a homeowner willing to press charges – we WILL go after Frost and his campaign workers to the full legal extent possible.


Total crap. Total bullshit. If anyone should have charges pressed against him, it's Pete Sessions...

. . . and remember that Pete Sessions' former Communications Director, Adrian Plesha, was convicted of a federal felony campaign fraud conviction for sending out defamatory letters purporting to be signed by a Member of Congress in an adjacent District (they were not) and lying to the FEC about it.

Pete Sessions is a sign thief and cavorts with felons.

Oh, how I wished I lived in this district, and on a major street. Still, I work at SMU, and the ongoing battle between Frost and Sessions signs along Mockingbird makes for a lively commute. Please, please, please: someone in the Sessions campaign be stupid enough to get caught on tape stealing signs...

I think the saddest part of the entire story is that Pete Sessions would use his son's disability to try and garner public support for himself.

By envoling the idea that the entire escapade was motivated to "intimidate my disabled son" is nothing more than media whore mongering. He is using his son for sympathy and nothing more. I assure you that whomever plastered the signs on the school ground had no intention of trying to scare a downs-syndrome child. Where they trying to make a statement to Sessions? - No doubt!!! Was his disabled child a target? Not a chance!!!!

Get over is Petie and quit being a media whore at the expense of your child.

I am doing a very involved report for a Washington Univ. poli sci post election political guide for students in the future to gaze upon when researching the next round of elections, at any rate, I am trying to interview members from either the Sessions or Frost teams to gather a better view of the race that took place.

I really appreciate any response.
