'Schumerisms': How Harry Reid's likely successor will spar with Republicans (+video)

Lovers of vivid political language will miss Senate minority leader Harry Reid of Nevada, who announced his retirement last week. Senator Reid is infamous for his searing, pointed comments about conservatives – and his regular “walk-backs” of those outbursts. But the loquacious Senator Schumer, who is widely expected to succeed Reid as Democratic leader, has developed his own brand of bombast that relies less on Reid’s personal taunts and more on sweeping indictments of his opponents’ purported political sins.

Schumer, who served 18 years in the House before joining the Senate in 1999, is fond of labeling Republicans “out of the mainstream” on any number of issues. It’s his way of portraying left-leaning Democrats as being in the political center – a tougher case to make, since Republicans just romped to a Senate majority in the midterm elections. Schumer is second only to Orrin Hatch (R) of Utah in invoking the “mainstream” declaration, according to the Sunlight Foundation's "Capitol Words" tool tracking Congressional Record usage.

So we can expect fewer searing, pointed lies and more loquacious, sweeping lies. Cool.

Schumer is demon-possessed. Anti-life, anti-family, anti-freedom, pro-abortion, pro-sodomy, pro-tyranny.

I’d have to agree with you! Sad that we have such wretches representing people in the USA.

It is absolutely imperative that Pubbies in Senate races point out the fact that regardless of how much to the center their opposition runs, they will be at the mercy of the criminal, radical, leftist Democrat leadership.

Somebody has to take Biden's place.
Schumer in 2011:

So I would urge my Republican colleagues, no matter how strong they feel — you know, we have three branches of government: we have a House, the Senate, we have a President...

As an example of Schumer's lying and complete lack of principle hear him excuse violations of posse comitatus and attempt to ridicule witnesses testifying to the lethal potential of flash bang grenades.

Schumer is the scum of all scum.
