"If you watch (Shays') pattern, he does this every quarter, whether he needs to or not. He finds some way to try and separate himself from Republican leadership..."
What is worse? A Democrat who is constantly criticizing the GOP and nobody listens, or a so-called Republican who constantly criticizes the GOP and everybody listens.
We've had Shays's number since the Clinton impeachment.
Shays made a big show of grandstanding at "town hall" meetings in front of his constituents in Connecticut -- trying to show how "torn" he was over how to vote on the articles of impeachment.
So Shays tried to have it both ways. Of course, he ultimately voted against the articles.
