RINO Chris Shays (Voted NO on Terri) "Concerned about Many Lives Around World We Don't Care About"
Fox News | governsleast governsbest

Posted on 03/21/2005 9:27:22 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Ultimate wimpy RINO Chris Shays (RINO-CT) was just interviewed on Fox News. He is one of five GOP congressmen to vote against bill giving Terry Schiavo a right to federal judicial review.

In explaining his 'no' vote, Shays first expressed concern that people all around the country could petition Congress in similar cases, then added "I'm also concerned about all the people around the world whose lives we don't seem to be concerned about."

JUST WHAT THE HECK WAS SHAYS IMPLYING? Was this a slap at the war in Iraq?

Just yesterday I read that Shays, who represents wealthy Connecticut suburbs, is considered one of the most vulnerable GOP Congressmen in the 2006 election. I have to assume this was his way of letting his liberal constituents know that he is firmly pro-death.

Kill Terri, say the Democrats.

But heaven forbid we should inflict sensory, food and water deprivation on terrorists...that is torture in their eyes.

From what I've read, Shays is the most endangered House Republican up for re-election.

This is the "I don't have time or energy to perform CPR on everyone in the room, Johnny, so I'm sorry about your heart attack" approach to governing.

Nah, Shays is a lock to stay in the House as long as he wants. He is the perfect RINO for our sorrowful blue state of CT and the mini-NYC Fairfield County he represents.

A 'fiscal' conservative and a 'social' liberal--just like our former governor who is on his way to the slammer.There is always talk that Ann Coulter (who lives in the district) will run against him. I think not.

LOL!

Well, I wish you luck.
They ARE the best team, IMHO..........just wish they'd start playing like it.
As for "offending Native Americans", I am surprised Chief Illinwek has survived
the onslaught, thus far.......and if you've ever seen him perform,
you know that he is the opposite of "offensive" to Native Americans.
GO ILLINI!

That what I was thinking. He must be looking ahead towards his next election in Blue CT.
