Lack of regulation ends predictably
There was a time (for many, we're still in it) when the fashion was to rail against government regulation in all its forms.
Shays wrong on Sarah Palin
To the Editor:
Columnists and letter writers are quick to provide anecdotal evidence of Shays "moderate" positions, but there is a clear pattern of his rightward movement on matters of national and international consequence since 2000: His uncritical support for the "war on terror," which the Rand Corporation has called counter-productive and ineffective; his failure to discern the problems military contractors, such as Blackwater, pose for Iraqis, our troops, and our reputation abroad; on the domestic front, his vote against tax cuts for the middle class and against the extension of credits for college tuition (HR 3996). And voters should not forget Shays' vote to allow torture by CIA interrogators (HR 2082). In fact in close votes (votes where Shays' vote was essential to the passage of Republican legislation), Shays voted with the Bush crowd 89% of the time.
The latest proof of Shays' move to the right is his support for the "awesome" Sarah Palin. His statement that "It's a woman that should be selected, not a particular woman," should send a strong message to women (and men) who support choice and who believe in women's rights in general. The woman Shays finds "awesome" would like creationism taught in our schools, believes that prayers to God will bring about the Alaskan oil pipeline, it was God's will that America invade Iraq, and that she is free to use lobbyists, as long as she flatly denies it. Perhaps McCain is comfortable with Sarah Palin's ignorance and lies, but shouldn't Christopher Shays have the principles and guts to temper his support for a vice presidential choice that clearly (and crudely) was intended to please the most extreme segment of the Republican Party?
Jim Himes has firmly addressed all the issues most dear to Fairfield County voters, including civil and human rights, the economy, education, health, energy, Middle East peace, the "war on terror" and the war in Iraq. Himes will deliver informed votes based on his principles, intelligence, and experience -- not on politics. He will put Fairfield County before Washington politics as usual.
