Sleazeball Shumer Shilling for Clinton on MTP

[burythehatchet]

This is the face of the scumbag wing of the Democratic party.

[Danger Mouse]

1. Fucking hate him...

he's been a loyal toadie of Bush all along, only slightly better than Lieberman. :puke:
At least I can say we have one good senator in New York.

[SoFlaJet]

4. he lost me

with his sponsoring this new AG Mukasey

[burythehatchet]

9. Same here. After 7 years, they still "trust" these guys to do the right thing. nt

[Danger Mouse]

13. he lost me LONG before that.

he's a textbook DINO.
but yes, that was the final nail in his rotten coffin, to be sure.

[speedoo]

16. "At least I can say we have one good senator in New York."

Huh?

Who would that be?

[Danger Mouse]

23. i happen to LIKE Hillary at this point.

:shrug:
i've never liked chuck.

[speedoo]

24. Okay.

I was confused by your avatar. I pretty much detest both of them.

[SoFlaJet]

2. Man doesn't he look like Count Dracula?

wait until the end BTH....Schumer and Durbin are actually roommates in Washington...try and guess which one is Felix Unger and who is Oscar Madison

[burythehatchet]

15. They're ROOMIES?

yikes

:scared:

[SoFlaJet]

21. yup...

I actually like them both a lot-I think Chuck has lost his way a little lately but he did a GREAT job in '06 for us-I'll be happy to have him on our side after his candidate drops out

[Captain Hilts]

26. An avid cereal eater, Schumer held hearings on the outrageous price of breakfast cereal.

I've liked him ever since.

[Renew Deal]

3. He's my senator.

And I like him a lot. He got the highest vote margin of any candidate for any office in NY.

[Occam Bandage]

5. Schumer's a pretty good Senator, and was instrumental in our '06 wins. Let's not join in the game

of shitting all over Dems for endorsing/assisting the wrong candidate.

[burythehatchet]

6. It's about his votes. I don't dislike him for supporting Clinton, I dislike him

for enabling the Bush agenda, just like Sen. Clinton.

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. you mean like Obama did?

[Windy]

32. you have yet to get an education Evergreen. Your blind support of Hillary borders on ridiculous.

Everything Hillary does is for a political motive. IWR, Kyl/Lieberman and telecom immunity, the latest example of a lack of courage.

Shumer couldn't even look into the camera this morning on MTP. I don't even think he agrees with what he was spouting concerning the superdelegates and MI and Florida.

thankfully, it appears that many are taking off their blinders to politics as usual. Hopefully the trend continues.

[11 Bravo]

7. Didn't you get the memo? Anyone speaking well of Senator Clinton ...

is an evil scumbag who must be destroyed.

[burythehatchet]

10. No, Sir, the issue is that he is a lousy Democrat whose votes are deplorable

So when I see him advocating Clinton's positions on changing the rules on delegates, it just reminds me of the scumbags that have destroyed this party. Got it?

[rodeodance]

28. ENOUGH with dissing Dems--we get enough of that from the Repugs for chist's sake!

[Rageneau]

33. It is Obama -- not Clinton -- who wants to change the rules on delegates.

Typically, Obama supporters are confused about the facts and how to interpret them.

The whole point of superdelegates is to address situations like the one we are facing now. We may enter the convention with no candidate who has enough delegate votes to be the automatic nominee.

That's when superdelegates come in. They can break the impasse by casting votes according to their own consciences. And that may be very important to the party's chance.

For example, there may be this charismatic flash-in-the-pan who has no real roots or substance but who woos large segments of the population with his bedroom eyes. Say, this guy goes into the convention leading in delegate votes -- on the same day a story breaks linking him like a siamese-twin to a long-time shady operator. Perhaps there is a whiff of quid-pro-quo in the air. Maybe even talk of an indictment down the line. (Remember, Bush's Injustice Department is still operating, planting rumors at will. A candidate who hasn't been thoroughly vetted could be at risk from such a tactic, even if he were not guilty of a thing.)

At that point the superdelegates would be looking at a mess that is probably going to get worse every day to election day. They might decide to cast their votes for the number two delegate-getter, who wasn't really THAT far behind anyway, in order to save the election.

That's one reason why the superdelegate rule exists, good or bad. So it isn't Clinton trying to change the rules, it is Obama's supporters.

[SoFlaJet]

14. in this case

it has nothing to do with it this time 11-B...FOR ME this is about his acting just slightly to the left of Joe LIEberman...supporting an AG PERHAPS because he is of the same religion as him

[K Gardner]

8. I agree. I don't like this constant denigrating of any D who supports the opposition BUT..

I'm sitting here watching this with my jaw on the floor. Schumer is blatantly dismissing the facts as Clinton agreed to them and advocating what is, by any stretch of the imagination, cheating. It is stunning to sit here and listen to this from him. He is badly damaging his credibility with this, IMO.

[speedoo]

12. Only good thing I can say about Schumer right now...

is that he is better than Hillary, my other senator.

I have already decided never to vote for Hillary again, unless she changes a lot.

As for Schumer, he has been far from impressive lately. Mukasey was a disastrous decsision. The jury's out on Schumer.

[HeraldSquare212]

17. I agree. He's been high-profile on the Judiciary Committee

not necessarily leading to a positive outcomes, but he's been a lot more vocal about the Gonzalez, for example, than many people were.

[KittyWampus]

11. Schumer has his strong points. I'm in NY and he generally delivers for our state.

I am disappointed with some of his votes in the Senate.

No doubt he'll push Clinton's line on superdelegates.

[THUNDER HANDS]

19. Schumer is the classic constituent services senator

he could be from any state and be just as effective. I don't like his voting record, or all of it, but he brings home the beef.

[HeraldSquare212]

20. You know what? His Senate campaign committee position probably gives him some enforcement power

against some superdelegates - the implication is that the the committee might not support them so strenuously in their re-elections. I'm not saying he's saying that outright, but superdelegates know his position and have to be thinking that.

[speedoo]

22. Good point.

But I think in the end, it won't make a difference. Hillary's finished.

[Captain Hilts]

25. He's actually been stalwart in looking out for the Little Guy. But he is irritating.nt

[rodeodance]

27. Glad to see this. Need more Dems doing this.

[loveangelc]

29. he must think that hillary will be behind in the pledged delegates.

because he keeps going on and on about how superdelegates should vote their conscious. boooo.

[TomClash]

30. I'm surprised

It's not like they exactly get along.

[indimuse]

31. evil Hillary supporters...

I love Barack Hussein Obama...I makes me tingle. He makes me so excited when I hear him speak about hope. I have a chance again at hope and I hope the "change" he brings is filled with hope and the hope spreads all over,just like it does when Obama speaks those beautiful,colorful words of hope and "change". I just know he is the one to bring hope and "change". I get all tingly when I hear his name. How can anybody disagree with Obama? Why...just look at him. He's amazing. All the hope he has already brought to Illinois is remarkable..no more poverty...fantastic health care changes... and ..(don't forget his wife is on the board of one of the biggest hospitals in his district)...he has brought so many "changes" to chicago,how could anyone argue his achievements. He has a beautiful mansion...you should see it. He is ALL about change...He even "changed" some rules to buy the property next to him...to "change" his yard. To make it a MUCH larger yard. KOOL!
I know why BHO is running for POTUS..."Change."
Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..Obama good...Hillary bad..
