Conservatives' worst nightmare is next at bat
americanthinker.com ^ | 3/28/15 | Michael Filozof

One unfortunate day in the future, America will again have a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate. And when that day happens, conservatives had better start digging foxholes, because their worst nightmare will be the majority leader.

Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada, the former hyper-partisan majority leader (and present minority leader) announced yesterday that he will retire at the end of his term in 2017. He named Chuck Schumer, D-New York, as his heir apparent.

As a Westerner from a blue state that could flip to red at any time, Reid was forced to take account of libertarian views. Nevada is, after all, the state of gambling, drinking, whoring, and the open carry of handguns. As the Bundy Ranch affair last year indicated, plenty of Nevadans don’t think very highly of the federal government telling them what to do and what not to do.

Schumer will have no such limitations. There will never be any serious electoral opposition to Schumer. He is guaranteed to get re-elected from deep-blue New York for the rest of this life. He will never self-destruct by getting caught with his pants down like Bill Clinton or Eliot Spitzer. Nor will Schumer ever succumb to lowbrow corruption and deceit like Hillary Clinton deleting government e-mails. He’s easily the most hardworking, take-nothing-for-granted, lunch bucket-style politician the Democratic Party has. He doesn’t come from inherited wealth. He can’t – and doesn’t – view politics as the pastime of the idle rich or as a launching pad into celebrity culture.

Chuck the Schmuck will be perfect for the job. He never held a non-government job in his life, he has his Senate job for life, he is a total socialist, a slimy scumbag, an anti-gun radical, slick as a greased snake, and one of the most obnoxious politicians in the country. One can easily imagine him whistling cheerfully as he carries out his Capo duties in a place like Auschwitz.

In other words, he's a perfect fit to be the Bolshecrat Senate Leader.

Yup. Not only did they not support Angle, but they pretty declined to run anybody against Schumer. And they won’t run anybody against Schumer again in 2016.

Schumer is also an easier target because of his big mouth.

..the most dangerous place to be..between and TV news camera and Upchuck Schumer. He will literally shove people out of his way to get in front of one. (with my best Ron White voice) "I've seen him do it"

We need to worry less about Schumer and more about keeping the Senate under Republican control.

He also gloated about getting the shuttle and sticking Texas with a mockup.

Ask him how many times he’s even visited the New York space shuttle.

Chuckie is up to his ears in the Sheldon Silver scandal, in NYC you do not pass go without approval from the Party and Silver was the Party Power Broker...

Schumer is dirty to his core.

I don’t think Reid did one damn thing since he became majority leader in line with western libertarian ideals. He ran roughshod and then used a combination of his power and election corruption to hold the seat one last time. Shumers slimey New York tone will not do anything to advance policy. He comes across as every bit of a crass slimeball to anyone outside of the Northeast.

Won’t matter anyway. They will be in the minority for at least four years.

I have always suspected that Schumer is a closet homosexual. has anyone ever seen his “wife”? She looks very much like The Son of Sam.

Senator Palpatine won’t go over well. We need to make a full sized poster of Chuck Schumer and his infamous ‘I’m going to torture you a long long time before I kill you’ smile.

Schumer will be a democrat leader to be reckoned with, I for one will be glad to be rid of the "whispering democrat leaders."

Maybe, but you can always tell by the look on his face that he has just soiled himself.

Harry Reid ran rings around Mitch McConnell.

Chuckie Schumer will spin Mitch into the ground.

If McConnell couldn't handle Harry Reid, he is completely outmatched by Chuck Schumer.

Republicans should use this as an opportunity to force a replacement in their leadership, too.
