Numbers USA gives Shuler an overall grade of A-. . Do you know what has given Shuler religion on this issue?
I'm sure he's gonna try.
Furthermore, 29 of the 38 Democrat Members of the House who signed on as co-sponsors of the Bill, have refused to sign the Discharge Petition that would force it onto the floor. Speaker Pelosi has made it clear that she'll hurt the Democrats who sign that Discharge.
Although the SAVE Act is pretty good, were it to pass, its presentation with an election coming up is a fraud, pure and simple. Shuler wants to appear conservative -- as do a couple dozen other Blue Dog Democrats. But they all know that the Bill is dead as a duck, courtesy of Nancy Pelosi, whom they voted to put in charge of the House as Speaker.
Sometimes frauds are played out in public, in front of God and everybody. Shuler has voted 81% of the time with Pelosi, and nearly 100% with the national unions, who bankrolled him in 2006, and again in 2008.
Fear of being defeated for reelection has caused Shuler to pretend to get religion on this issue.
