	Fairfield County Weekly: Bill Finch vs. Chris Shays (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Shays has earned a lot of respect during his four and a half terms as a congressman (he first won the seat in a special election held in 1987 to replace liberal Republican Stewart McKinney, who had died of an AIDS-related illness).
		Shays the polished politician usually takes care to disguise this mean streak, but it leaks out of him in slips of the tongue and unguarded comments.
		Shays said he voted against the proposal because it wasn't funded and he wouldn't support any program that would increase the deficit.

	Chris Shays, Panderer \| (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		We've already seen that Shays, for all his feigned shock and anger at the Republican culture of corruption, was more than willing to support the ludicrously unethical arch-conservative Roy Blunt's candidacy for House Majority Leader, after Blunt hosted a pair of massive fundraisers supporting Shays' re-election.
		And we know that Shays has no problem changing his story on who's fault the failed response to Hurricane Katrina was; one minute he's putting almost all the blame on the Democratic state and local officials and the next, he's moving the blame to President Bush in order to distance himself from his so-called "friend".
		Shays is not only a panderer, but he's not a particularly good one.

	MyDD :: Rep. Shays (R-CT): GOP Could Lose House Majority in 2006
		Chris Shays (R-Conn.), who vocally opposed efforts late last year to change House rules to protect Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) if he were ever indicted by a Texas grand jury, today questioned Republican leadership for continuing to protect the former majority leader.
		Shays also mentioned the vote to protect Terry Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman on life support, and said it was not legislation most Republicans in his district supported.
		Among the other judgment lapses of the GOP leadership in the House that Shays fails to mention is the tax bill passed by Republicans yesterday that would mandate a $44 billion increase in the deficit.

	Shays says he could have been more aggressive in war oversight - Boston.com
		Christopher Shays says he regrets failing to be more aggressive in overseeing the Pentagon's Iraq war plan, particularly by demanding more accountability on cost estimates.
		Shays, who is chairman of the House Government Reform subcommittee on national security, emerging threats and international relations, has traveled to Iraq a dozen times since Baghdad fell to U.S.-led coalition troops in April 2003.
		Shays believed U.S. troops entering Iraq would encounter chemical weapons and he wanted to make sure the Pentagon properly equipped each soldier.

		Shays said it's "ironic" that while Republicans generally opposed the reforms, the Democrats who supported them are benefiting most from the nearly $200 million in soft money raised through 527s this year.
		Shays said Farrell purposely misinterprets his record and wrongly paints him as a member of the "vast right-wing conspiracy," but is preparing for a tough contest nonetheless.

	Chris Shays - dKosopedia
		Shays was born on October 18, 1945 in Stamford, Connecticut.
		Shays has the reputation of a Republican moderate and thus a maverick in the highly disciplined Republican Party in the U.S. House of Representatives, but his m.o.
		In essence, Shays' function is to be trotted out any time DeLay or Bush wants to put a "softer edge" on something, using his "moderate" reputation to bless the foulest of actions.

		Republican Congressman Chris Shays (CT) is scrambling, trying to backtrack from his comments at a debate this week in which he said the Abu Ghraib scandal didn't involve torture.
		Shays is just down the list, one of those current figure-head politicians who take their earmarks and their pork rinds along with slavish dedication to whatever the leadership tells them to do.
		Shays is in the unfortunate position of being on the side of the most corrupt inept amoral group of white collar Mafia in American history.

		Shays has made it clear he will not be part of writing a 2006 document that does not take tough steps toward reducing the deficit, notably by curbing the cost of such programs as Medicare and Medicaid.

	Shays Urges Iraq Withdrawal (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Shays is one of only a few congressional Republicans supporting a timetable for ending U.S. involvement in the Iraq fighting, which has claimed the lives of more than 2,600 U.S. troops and an estimated 40,000 to 45,000 Iraqi civilians.
		Critics said Shays is significantly modifying his stand because he is facing a tough challenge from an antiwar opponent in a state that has become a center of opposition to the war.
		Shays criticized what he called the "huge mistakes" made by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, in particular the disbanding of the former Iraqi army, police and border patrols shortly after the toppling of Saddam Hussein.
