Sen Shelby and healthcare

In case you did not catch the remarks of Senator Shelby on Fox. Shelby is not an ally of folks trying to reform healthcare by the way nor is very pro-labor in his views.

The good senator opposed the auto-bailout and has a zero rating with the enviromental folks. Auto workers gave him in 07 a rating of 15% (Boilermakers game him a big 0). Afl-cio gave him a big 7% in 2006 of a possible 100% political rating on labor issues.

He is up for reelection in 2010 and watch how many things he will oppose. One hopes the folks in Alabama reflect on this fine gentleman and retire him.
