Lawmakers, GOP Clash on 9/11 Legislation
See:

<<An earlier version of the Senate-passed bill — which was to be offered Thursday by Rep. Robert Menendez (news, bio, voting record), D-N.J. and has been pushed by Reps. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., and Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. — was being presented as a replacement for the House GOP bill.


Shays and Maloney says their proposal — which is identical to the Menendez amendment — was held back to that GOP leaders could depict the Senate version as being a purely Democratic on the House floor.


"I know my leadership thinks it's not going to pass or they wouldn't have allowed the vote," Shays said. "That shows their level of confidence. I hope we prove them wrong." >>


Is it National Security or Political Security that the * apologists are interested in?

1. Shays must be defeated, or he can vindicate himself.
He would be welcome as a Democrat. I can't understand his support for the party of anti-gay bigotry and corporate kleptocracy.
