If Adolph Hitler whipped out his checkbook, Schumer would be telling him how cute his little mustache is. Chuckie is one of the most morally bankrupt 'Rats in the country, rodent who happens to walk upright.

Excellently put.

Biggest problem the rats have is when their Groups wind up face-to-face with each other. The Teachers Unions vs. Black Parents for example.

Casey jr would roll up his sleeves and do an abortion himself if he thought it would get him a senate seat.

The Democrats have to be very careful about this because they could end up undercutting themselves with the donor base," Ms. Stone said. "The pro-choice donors in both parties tend to be the more wealthy."

See, it's not about what they believe in, just about what the wealthiest potential donors want to hear them say the believe in. vomit.

Nice try, democrats. You ask any thoughtless liberal (I live around them) and they are all proudly pro-choice. Then you ask them if they would tell that to their minister or priest (assuming they ever go to church), and they freeze up. Hypocritical a-holes.

This is nothing new. Ron Klink (pro 2d Am, pro-life Dem.) ran against Santorum the last time and lost. He complained that he couldn't be competitive financially because the donor base of the Democratic Party is so pro abortion.

The big money behind Democrats will simply not contribute to a pro-lifer, especially one who is a non-incumbent, when they have so many other competitive races to waste their money on.

"Adding to that, Congressional Democrats named a professed opponent of abortion rights, Harry Reid of Nevada,..."

Not accurate.

But abortion rights advocates warn of a bigger revolt within the party if its members start compromising on new abortion restrictions like parental notification laws or the fetal-pain bill. Karen Pearl, interim president of Planned Parenthood, said some of her allies were saying that "to the degree that the Democrats move away from choice, that could be the real birth of a third-party movement."

The Death Party?

...Thank goodness for the Bloggersphere and Talk Radio Titans who continuously expose the Democratic Party for the fraudulent enterprise it truly is.

In this case it was the NY Times writer, who was dedicated to pubbie coverage, who exposed the blatant opportunism of Schumer. Go figure.

Karen White, political director of Emily's List, a group that raises money for female candidates who support abortion rights, said the group was "very excited" about possibly backing an abortion rights supporter, Barbara Hafer, a former Pennsylvania treasurer.

Fascinating to read what turns these women on.

Desperate, seething, foaming-at-the mouth RATS are cornered. Say, have there been any headlines about them being divided?
