Blue America's 5$ Day for Jim Himes to oust Chris Shays
Rep. Chris "Blogger Rage" Shays makes no sense, but that's not surprising. Read this quote and ask me WFT he means:
Shays, R-Conn., said he resents Democratic claims that he flip-flopped on his position from last year. The Democrats’ proposals to withdraw the military in April or fall 2008 are “partisan timelines,” Shays said. “I support having a timeline to get out of Iraq,” Shays said during a news conference at the Norwalk Inn. “What I’m hearing as criticism is because I voted against Democratic motions — then I’m against timelines. Let’s be very clear. I am against partisan Democratic timelines.”
Say, what? This is a seat that we actually have a chance at picking up and I'd love for Blue America to beat Shays total number of donations that he has received for his entire quarter. We need 108 total donors to pass Blogger Rage Shays. Please jump into the 5.00 Day and donate if you can.
We're in the process of trying to get rid of the Bush Dogs and Himes will get us one step closer to that goal.
Insert "first" here.
Sounds like he's doing what most Republicans do. Talk out of the corner of the mouth. Lying when the truth would fit better.
Shays is nothing more than a hypocrite. Like more Republicans.
The republicans should change their mascot from an elephant to a hippo.
I have several calendars, and none of them say that these are partisan times frames.
Where do I get a calendar that has the days labeled according to political affiliations?
He needs to define "Democratic timelines" WTF is that?
Exactly, weaseldog!
I think guys like Shays and others took the bait about how great the surge was going to be so they felt confident in saying we would be pulling troops out of Iraq. They bought the whole success bs back when the surge was announced. Now they see the reality of the situation and they find themselves having to go back on what they said.
..."partisan timelines," Shays said.
GMAFB!
His type is the majority of the 28%ers. Dumb as a rock.
"Let’s be very clear. I am against partisan Democratic timelines."
That is awesome.
Let's be very clear: I am NOT against election reform. I am against partisan Republican election reform.
I am against partisan Republican tax cuts.
I am against partisan Republican politicians.
I am against partisan Republican warmongering.
Hey, thanks, Rep. Shays! I just learned that you can demonize anything, regardless of its utility or function, simply by describing it as "partisan" and assigning it a political identity. This should prove very useful in the future.
The Next "Shearing"
Wheat Futures: Get Ready For $10-Per-Loaf Bread?
9/4/2007 2:22:39 PM
By Vadim Pokhlebkin
In December 1999, a bushel of wheat went for $2.22 on the open market. By December 2006, prices broke $5. Now, less than a year later, a bushel sells for over $8.
In fact, on Tuesday (Sept. 4), "Wheat rose the maximum allowed by the Chicago Board of Trade… Wheat futures for December delivery rose 3.9 percent, to $8.055 a bushel at 9:53 a.m. in Chicago, the tenth gain in 12 sessions." (Bloomberg)
Sounds like "WFT" he means is that he wants to get the troops out of Iraq simply because it's the right thing to do, NOT because it's the Democrat's hot topic of the day.
Seemed to me like he said it pretty straightforward to me, not quite sure why Mr. Amato couldn't get that.
So he's for a timeline but won't vote for one on the grounds that Democrats proposed it? And he says *they're* being partisan? What an idiot.
You..sir..are a disgarce to this country

Camp Taji, former Iraqi Republican Guard “military city,“ is now a huge U.S. base equipped with a Subway, Burger King and Pizza Hut on the premises.
Good luck to Jim. He seems like a nice guy. I hope he gets a lot of support
Shay's is a partisan Republican GOPervert HACK.
His betters are usually much, well... better at falsely accusing the other side of doing exactly what the Repugnant ones themselves are doing.
Shay needs a lie coach.

What exactly did he lie about?
As of mid-2005, the U.S. military had 106 forward operating bases in Iraq, including what the Pentagon calls 14 “enduring” bases (twelve of which are located on the map) – all of which are to be consolidated into four mega-bases.
Pull out right. Dems? We get our money back?

I'm in for $5.08!
Just in the last year Shays is displaying a side to himself kept down enough to allow that little benefit of the doubt he might not have gone 'round-the-bend with the rest.
He's a dick. Plain and simple.
HIMES. It's spelled "Himes."
That Dodd line is good!
Wow, how lame is that of Shays? Projection, anyone? He's opposing timelines, apparently only because they come from Dems, but they're partisan?
What Shays must mean is that he is more partisan than even he realizes. I can't wait for his clarification statement to run all day tomorrow on every single cable station.
I wonder if Mike Rogers (blogactive.com) has ever had any posts on Shays..? He just strikes me as ... ... is all I'm sayin'.
Be nice, it's his last term as a US Congressman. All reich wing Republithugs are in trouble in 08.
Shays should get a jump on his retirement and start packing up his office today.
No way will he be returned for another term.
.
How is it partisan when the Democrats do it, but not when it's the Republican's doing it?
Or...
So it's not partisan when just the Republicans do it?
Typical Rupugnican't...
