Schumer is a truly despicable fanatic. It was Schumer, then in the House of Representatives, who stridently defended Janet Reno & the ATF in the hideous burning of women & children in Waco, Texas. I will never forget looking at the TV images, in watching the televised hearings of the House Committee investigating the butchering of a religious minority--apparently as a "gun control" adventure--looking into those rat like eyes, as Chuckie repeatedly defended the massacre.

Is he really unbeatable in New York, or do we simply lack a Republican candidate who will understand how to defeat him?

Now, of course, if he only has to face "moderates," who accept Schumer's egalitarian/collectivist premises--as opposed to American principles--he will never be defeated. But an approach which speaks truth; that shows real understanding how a healthy society functions, and addresses the public with actual references to reality within the ken of most of us? Nothing is inevitable.

One clue to the process: Waving an idiotic banner, with an idiotic smirk on your face, while you participate in a parade to show pride in being biologically dysfunctional, is not a way to prosper with people persuaded to return to the realities of continued existence.

(No, I am not suggesting that Rev. Phelps' approach would defeat Schumer in New York. The return to reality candidate needs to have finesse, compassion, etc. But the idea of pride in being unable to participate in God's ongoing dynamic of Creation, demonstrates a mental hangup that is not rational. Does it demonstrate qualities you want in your Senator?)

My reply #42 refers to the image that you posted of the subject politician. Contrast the idiotic smirk with the face Schumer assumes normally, when he is denouncing people who simply want to live as their family has lived for generations!

If Schumer is that strident, wouldn't that make it harder for Dems to win in swing states or to win back control of the Senate?

Wouldn't Democrat senators from those swing states be less inclined to support Chuck or follow the line he lays down?

He will never self-destruct by getting caught with his pants down like Bill Clinton or Eliot Spitzer.

I could see Schumer shooting himself in the foot with stuff like this:

Just plane rude: Sen. Charles Schumer refers to female flight attendant as the b-word

Then again, if nothing Harry Reid said ever put his job at risk, Chuck Schumer might not have any problems whatever he says.

“the hideous burning of women & children in Waco, Texas...”

One thing I never did understand about Koresh. Why didn’t he just hire a lawyer and plead his case in court as is the right of every American per the Constitution?

Those kids would be grown with kids of their own today.

I am certainly not an advocate for Koresh. But the problems at his compound were, at most, local problems. There was no valid Federal Role involved. Like the killings at Ruby Ridge, a couple of years before, this was a Federal assault on the freedom to have eccentric views (from a Leftist perspective) and remain armed.

Doesn’t really answer the question, why not just hire a lawyer and go to court.

Firing on intruders when you don’t know who they are is one thing, but after days and days, and you know who they are and what is going on, just doesn’t make sense.

I think that there were mental health issues with Koresh that aggravated the situation. The other adults in the compound should have intervened.

I’ve thought the same thing myself. We’ll see.
