These guys have no honor and no guts! They all have excuses why they are retiring, but they all see the writing on the wall - THE BLUE WAVE that is coming. Looking in the rear view mirror can be scary. Get out of the way asshole.

Just like a bunch of filthy RATS jumping ship after the captain is about to be impeached!!

Going to pay for it?..they done spent everything on a tax cut that goes mostly to the rich.

And I'm sure everyone involved will get nice consulting jobs for after their government "service."

slithering away!!!!!!!!!

and getting them to vote for an anti-America infrastructure bill.

Unfortunately he may have some success.

What's THAT?

owned by others outside the US-Russian oligarchs, foreign corporations. It is one where our roads, bridges, water supplies are beyond local control and where we open our protected land to exploitation.

With the passage of the tax "reform" bill we are poised to become a major debtor nation. We are about to be pressured to lower our standard of living, slash our safety net, and auction off our resources in order to pay debts.

The model is the pressure placed on nations such as Argentina and Greece to sell off assets and then "rent" them back to pay debts.

health care

government pension of at least half of what he made in House for life


a job as a lobbyist to spread more of his right wing BS on K Street to privatize the infrastructure in the country




And now that he is leaving, he gave everyone a fucking on taxes, if you make less than $75,000 a year


and this is his voting record ......................

he sure did fuck up a lot of things / items and human beings-----------based on outright greed


don't let the door hit you in ass, jerk.........................

I am sure he is looking at this as the last chance to bilk more out of the Country

Another one that's been gerrymandered to death.



Gerrymandering is evil and it destroys democracy. The only beneficiary of gerrymandering is the incumbent - nobody else. We must end gerrymandering and Pennsylvania is one of the very worst states.

Shuster has had token opposition and always wins handily in this GOP district. He inherited the seat from his dad, Bud.

I wonder if he's worried about a serious ethics investigation due to his close relationship with an airline lobbyist and the obvious conflict of interest should Dems get control of the House in Nov?

and how is the dumb fuck planning to pay for it after giving the rich massive tax cuts?

by "Public Private Partnerships". We're paying for it, through the nose. It's a terrible idea.

told us what their "priorities" were - eliminating anything that helps the middle class and poor.

Create the trillions in deficit then not only claim our safety net infrastructure (Soc sec, Medicare,Medicaid)needs to be drained but also our taxpayer funded and owned lands and the crumbling infrastructure ( whichthey've created after forty years of willful negligence) sold off to pay for it.

How convenient x2 that Corps will have OUR money from the Tax Plunder & their repatriated trillions to buy up OUR Country.

And how convenient x3 that Mitch McConnell's wife is in charge, both positioned so beautifully to reap billions in the ensuing slush.

And it is one of the most Gerrymandered districts you will find, Cook PVI of R+19. It is as safe a seat as the Repukes could draw up. Either another Shuster is ready to run for the seat, or someone has something on him and he will leave congress and become a lobbyist before he is put on the barbecue. I can’t imagine the Repukes being in any trouble in this district under any circumstances. Trump got 69% of the vote here. Remember, in Pennsylvania, you have Philly and Pittsburgh which are blue, and the rest of the state which is Mississippi.

Don’t get hopes up. If they lose this one, they will lose everything down to the race for dog catcher. I just don’t see it.

girlfriend? Maybe something's ready to come out about her or them?

....unless he misused funds on her or something. I haven’t heard a thing but will ask around.

could Shuster be worried this, or something else, will come up via ethics committee investigation?

I say good riddance. Please let the door hit you on the way out.

This district is set up to have a real tin foil hat candidate be successful.

Post-Gazette today. The story quoted Eichelberger, a GOP state senator, saying that Shuster's polling wasn't very good right now. Shuster also barely held off Art Holvorason (sp?), a rw Tea Party kook, in the GOP primary in 2016. Holvorason then ran on the Dem ballot line, but was defeated. Apparently he wants to take another run at Shuster, but it seems like Eichelberger has his eye on this seat.

I remain surprised that Shuster's poll numbers are poor given he or his dad have represented this district for decades. Maybe the voters just didn't like him having a mistress. Stranger things have been the downfall of "safe" incumbents.

..the Pa9 District was once held by none other than Thaddeus Stephens, progressive guy for his time. He was portrayed in the movie “Lincoln” by Tommy Lee Jones.

Don’t waste your money on that movie, btw. I don’t know who writes these downer scripts, but Lincoln dies in the end.
