Liberals, Livid, Say Chuck Schumer 'Unfit' to Lead Senate Dems

After stating that he plans to vote against the Iran nuclear deal, Sen. Chuck Schumer is receiving criticism from liberals who claim he is "unfit" to be the next Democratic leader, The Hill reports.

Schumer is the first Democratic senator to go on record saying he opposes the Iran nuclear deal, but The Hill notes that, with roughly half of Senate Democrats still publicly undecided, his decision to oppose the deal could sway some colleagues who are still on the fence.

"After deep study, careful thought and considerable soul-searching, I have decided I must oppose the agreement and will vote yes on a motion of disapproval," Schumer said Thursday night. "To me, the very real risk that Iran will not moderate and will, instead, use the agreement to pursue its nefarious goals is too great."

In response to his decision, Becky Bond, the political director of CREDO Action, said that "perhaps it is time to change his nickname from Wall Street Chuck to Warmonger Chuck."

Note that the libs do not say what is good for the country, but what is good for their party.

Zero patriotism is their mindset. NO wonder Joe Lieberman became ostracized.

If you are going to talk about foreign policy with Obama supporters, remember this:

Most of them believe that “Iran” is what they did after they robbed the liquor store.

“Becky Bond, the political director of CREDO Action, said that “perhaps it is time to change his nickname from Wall Street Chuck to Warmonger Chuck.”

Typical liberal logic. Chuckie Schumer makes your ass look big, Becky.

It's all Kabuki theater. Because of the GOPe sellout, Obama only needs 1/3 of the Senate OR 1/3 of the House to allow the "agreement". Notice it's not the 2/3 Senate majority needed for every other treaty!

I'm betting Obama has the 1/3 he needs, in at least one chamber. So he told Chuck, "Go ahead and appease your gullible base. No problem. We'll all have a good laugh about it, in private, after the vote."

The Leftist Dems really want Iran to get the bomb and nuke Israel off of the face of the earth don’t they? They never once consider that they might use them against us.

Doesn't sound like he will.

His office confirmed later today that he will also vote to override Homobama's veto if necessary.

It can come as no surprise to him but the vicious idiot Left is looking for his blood on this one. They will try to destroy anyone who stands in their way of destroying the U.S.A.

A report says Schumer told Obama he was a no vote, and asked him not to leak it. Obama was the ONLY person he told. Obama leaked it anyway:
