A Fairfield resident who just lost his job asks Chris Shays (R-CT) what he can do to meet his mortgage. Shays leafs through his own handout to find answers. Recorder after the 10/16/08 debate with Jim Himes (D).
I know Chris Shays (personally) , and i have to say it say it's disappointing to see him not pull the man aside and speak to him like a human being. Looking at your watch.. Obviously the man is upset when you are angry sometimes become fixated on the problem.
What Shays should have done(if he seeks re-election) is tell him the truth about the entire mess and what he intends to do to help find solutions to the problem.
"I don't know" is not an answer that comes from a man with convictions.
How hard is it to say, "Hey, man, I'm really sorry you lost your job. I think a lot of people are in your situation. I want to try to help. How can I help you?"
Sympathy Shays has not. Or does he actually think the economy is "fundamentally strong"?

@BlameRepublicans I'm a (proud) Democrat, but I think that your comment is the nuttiest thing I've read all day.

No he's a fucking scum bag who deserves to see his family have their throats slit before getting a bullet through his head. He's a fucking crook.

Shays is a good man. This guy was lying and he was just trying to provoke him.

The video cuts out just a Shays starts explaining his point. Totally biased.

Ouch. If I were Shays, I would not want this to get around. Olbermann, anyone?

They don't read the bills they sign.
They are there to collect graft, and sign where they are told to sign.
