In his new book, entitled Positively American, Chuck Schumer wants you to know that he has a vision. Yes, in between leading efforts to block conservative judges and attack presidential appointees at every turn, the bare-knuckled New York senator and chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has given some thought to creating a positive message. One, he says, that will deliver results for -- middle class Americans."
In the book, Schumer acknowledges that his party regained Congress in 2006 mostly due to Republican missteps that Democrats exploited. But he also recognizes that negativity will only get a party so far, and that Democrats have to tailor a message to a middle class that is still suspicious of the big-government liberalism the party is associated with. And he concedes that some in his party have trouble relating to middle-class voters.
So he creates for the Democrats some imaginary middle-class friends: Joe and Eileen Bailey of Massapequa, New York, a couple in their forties with three kids. The Baileys, Schumer writes, work hard and "believe that everyone deserves a fair chance." At times sounding more like a semi-moderate Blue Dog Democrat than the liberal that he is, Schumer says of his imaginary couple: "They don't mind the government's help, but they hate it when politicians condescend to them. They're proud of what they've done and what they've accomplished and they don't need government to treat them like basket cases."

Here’s a suggestion for him:
RETIRE!
What is really disturbing to me about this is that someone actually read something that Schemer wrote (or had ghosted anyway)
Works for me.
Never trust a guy who looks like he had a role in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Chucky seen here rehearsing for his new role in Who Screwed the American People (Again!).
If he’s referring to the people who voted for him ... he would be right
If they get hit again, they will have no one to blame but themselves!
Massapequa, New YorkAnd I think Chuckie overlooked this little tidbit ....Estimated median household income in 2005
- Massapequa $93,400
- New York State: $49,480
Estimated median house/condo value in 2005:
- Massapequa : $508,600
- New York State: $258,900
Races in Massapequa:There's NO measurable BLACKS IN Massapequa ya BONEHEAD! Are you a Racist Chuckie? Huh? If not, then why'd you pick Massapequa for your 'average' city????
- White Non-Hispanic (95.4%)
- Hispanic (2.6%)
- Two or more races (0.7%)
- Chinese (0.6%)
After 30 years in politics, Chuckie’s going to change course and say something positive? I won’t hold my breath. I’ve never heard anything come out of his mouth except demagoguery.
Chuck Schumer thinks I’m stupid? BWAHAHAHAHAAA!
I always thought he looked like donald duck since the back of his head is flat.
Of course Chuckie Schumer thinks people are stupid. He keeps getting re-elected.
He was once my Congressman. Now my Senator. Tell me something I dont know.
In his book he calls for a 50 percent reduction in property taxes. As if he would support any such thing. Just like his fellow libs, there isnt a tax hike he doesnt like.
Also in his book he calls for a 50 percent cut in the number of abortions performed in this country. Of course, his ratings by all the pro-abortion groups is and always has been 100 percent.
Good info.
The only good thing Upchuckie said was:
*** And to ensure that we don’t get into this mess again, we need to seal the cracks in our regulatory system to prevent future widespread lending abuses.”***
All those mortgage companies, banks, realestate agents, etc. who used their most persuasive selling skills to talk people into adjustable rate mortgages should be held accountable.
Of course, it would create still another giant agency to eat up the taxpayers’ money, with very little return.
As for the rest of his screed, Upchuckie should be in Cuba where he would be appreciated.
