By John Tate Tonight, a cloture vote on Senator Harry Reid's 2,000-plus page complete takeover of health care is expected in the Senate. This vote is not on final passage of the bill, but on agreeing to start debate on the legislation. Contact your senators and tell them to vote "No" on cloture!

Apparently another way in which conservatives in this country differ from the rest of us is in what they worry about. Here is Congressman John Shadegg, Republican of Arizona, (who had a few days earlier brought a staffer's 7 month old daughter on the House floor with him to use as a prop for a speech) reacting to New York Mayor Bloomberg: I saw the Mayor of New York said today, "We're tough. We...

Yesterday was my first day back at work following an extended weekend spent house-hunting in the Charleston, SC area. While I spent little time over the past five days or so in front of a television or computer, it was difficult to escape the news of Attorney Gen. Eric Holder's decision to bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammad to New York City for criminal trial in federal court. In fact, it was one of the...
Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) decides taunting NYC Mayor Bloomberg with the possibility that 9/11 trials might lead to his daughter getting kidnapped by al Qaeda wasn't such a hot idea after all....
The Council on American-Islamic relations (CAIR) is an organization created with the intent to fund Hamas. It was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Terror funding trial case. In one key piece of Wiretap evidence presented in the case CAIR's executive director, Nihad Awad, was found at a Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders secretly recorded by the FBI.

(ChattahBox)—Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has been doing his best to outdo the insane extremist rhetoric of many of his right-wing Republican colleagues, such as Rep. John Shadegg (AZ), Michele Bachmann (MN), and Rep. Steve King (IA) and he may have succeeded with his latest offensive rant against holding the trials of several 9/11 suspects [...]
We realize that the transfer of Guantanamo prisoners to American soil is a complex problem and that people can object in good faith. But some of the rhetoric from the right on the issue has gone from NIMBY to just plain DSM-IV .

Retarded pussy John Shadegg has apologized to Michael Bloomberg for saying, on the House floor, that Bloomberg’s daughter would be kidnapped by Muslim terrorists if another terrorist is given a criminal trial in a New York City court of law: “I apologize for the insensitivity of my remarks with respect to the Mayor or his [...] Michael Bloomberg - New York City - House - John Shadegg -...
Truly, Republicans have no shame . They have a culture of lies and emotional manipulation, and they recognize no boundaries of decency. From Media Matters: After the Department of Justice announced it would move toward convicting 9/11 terrorists in a New York City courtroom, Congressional Republicans raced to condemn the decision. Because Republicans believe that their political fortunes improve when...
Enough! The un-indcited co-conspirator front for Hamas has gotten a free pass long enough while they bully, harrass, sue, and infect the natioal dialogue with taqyia and dawah. They are so afraid of being called a bigot by jihadists. How about traitor? Do they prefer that? You are either with us or against us. These American heroes deserve our props: Thank you Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and members...

On Monday, on the floor of the House of Representatives, GOP Congressman John Shadegg of Arizona made what has to be the most tactless argument to date — and perhaps at all possible — against holding trials in New York for the 9/11 conspirators: "I saw the mayor of New York today said, 'We're tough, we can do it.' Well, mayor, how are you going to feel when it's your daughter that's...

Shadegg spoke from the House floor to rail against a criminal trial for alleged 9/11 conspirators in New York City.
