"I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban…"

Hey Pete Sessions (R-Tex.), chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee! How are you gonna rally public and member support for the uphill climb of opposing the stimulus? Um…

"Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban," Sessions said during a meeting yesterday with Hotline editors. "And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that's not what we're saying. I'm saying an example of how you go about [sic] is 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."

How did these guys ever win elections, again?
