I'm not exactly certain why Shay's admission is 'shocking'.
To: kattracks
Well SHAYS is certainly corrupt, as are quite a few RINO's and democrats.
But we KNEW that already. The thing is...his new bill? It opens the gates guaranteeing more corruption, not less.

Shays is not even intelligent enough to be original!
Stalin had many such stooges as Shays who stood up and gave 100% false testimony under oath because it served the purposes of his party!!!!

If the system is so corrupt why are they waiting until after this election cycle to uncorrupt it?

Shays' bizarre confession prompted calls of concern to his Washington office by several colleagues, with Hannity revealing after the interview that at least three congressman had called his own New York City broadcast studio for clarification on what Shays said.
I bet his remarks are about as welcome to his colleagues as a frog in the guacamole.

I heard the program, and my jaw hit the ground with what he was saying. I wasn't shocked at what he said, I always knew they were corrupt, but was shocked that he said it.

And the bottom line is, certain bills don't come to the floor because the people are major contributors. Certain amendments don't get on the rules committee because people are major contributors. Some bills get to the floor because there are major contributors. Some issues that have been important to some people in the general public for years don't see the light of day because major contributors don't like it. And that's a fact. It certainly took some time for Shays to get to the meat of it. I don't think the guy is very bright frankly. And that clown Hannity never helps. He is so belligent and mouthy, that it may be better for him to just talk to himself.

I didn't know that RINO's are allowed, even by law, to make moral judgements.?Calling someone corrupt is a moral judgement, yet if he keeps that up, then before you know it, he'll be forcing his morality on everyone else.I thought that is verboten in the RINO handbook?? Do I smell the whiff of Fascism from Obergruppenfuhrer Shays??

Somehow, I see McCain's hand in this.

If the system is so corrupt why are they waiting until after this election cycle to uncorrupt it? And why didn't they ban ALL soft money?

McCain has said the same thing in the past and also refuses to name names...its the old "stop me before I sin again" ploy.

These guys can always go cleanse themselves of their sins in the private sector if they find the stench too much to take.I'm sure Shays has sooooo much to offer to a prospective employer;-)
