Chuckie Schumer watchers... the Senator bailed on advisory role alongside Richard Perle
in the PNAC look-a-like "Foundation for the Defense of Democracies". I just noticed this today and know there are others here that are bothered by their Democratic Senator belonging to a neocon think tank. Hmmmm, think maybe it became a political liability that we noticed he was an advisor to the new PNAC? Never hurts to dream.

1. Too late, Chuckie.
I'm a NYer and you've done too many things I don't like.

The latest being your support of Mukasey.

No more votes for you, or your pal Hillary.

5. Yup agreed, too late!
I thought it interesting that he even bothered to get his name jerked off of their website, some sort of crude attempt at damage control perhaps. Whatever

Mukasey, I vowed never to vote for him again as well.

BTW...2 years ago, when I pulled the lever, I voted for the whole Democratic line except for one. I kept my vow then and will continue to do so.

4.  Schumer is dirty with his War Vote also
Enron, deregulation, NAFTA and other things.

Brilliant Guy, but tainted, who hopefully, can change.

He is borderline, as compared to people like the heavy duty DLCers Senators.
