These guys feel so safe that they can say anything, even what they are really thinking.

It was never about bipartisanship with Obummer. Obummer talks up bipartisanship but it is in fact the last thing he really wants. Obummer talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk and neither do Pelosi and Reid and all the other far left loons in Washington DC.

According to Chuckie Schumer, what's made America great, her traditional values and beliefs, along with a strong military, are to be jettisoned from our society in favor of more welfare entitlements, social engineering, higher taxes, wealth transfers and forced equality by nanny-state liberalism.

Sounds like a good way to kill off the USA, once and for all.

There have always been those on the battlefield who fear the fight. In some cases they cling to the legs of those willing to fight and beg them to stop fighting in hopes that the enemy will treat them better if they willingly surrender.

your post is incoherent

Illogical at best...

[anniegetyourgun]

That is their plan.

[Reagan Man]

I know. Just engaging in some rhetoric of the obvious. ;^)

[Reagan Man]

So I take it, you don't like the Bush`s and you don't like any conservative or folks like Rush speaking out in opposition to Obama and the Dems. And somehow recent setbacks for the GOP are irreversible.

Sounds like you're making a case for more moderate Republican candidates and a centrist policy agenda. Of course, that would make us conservatives more like the Demlibs and less like traditional Americans.

I smell a troll.

“Schumer is the poster child for despicable bastards, and desperately needs his ass kicked severely with extreme prejudice.”
Agreed, Smucky needs to go along with a whole host of other DemonRATs that are firmly entrenched. Unfortunately, most of what he's gloating about is absolutely true. Obama did and will pay lip service to bipartisanship, which is a blatant lie. Asshats like McCain will voice support and weaken any chance of opposition, and the GOP doesn't have the spine to kick out the turds in the punch bowl. Schumer just admitted the DemonRATs are liars and thieves, and kicked sand in the face of America. The only question that really remains is what are we going to do about it? The answer is, as long as the voting majority are content to be lead around by these clowns, not much. Every sign and every indication has been there that the DemonRATs were going to do exactly what they did do and will continue to do, and they were allowed to get away with it. We can blog and cajole and talk among ourselves until they take away that freedom, but nothing will change until Americans revolt. And the DemonRATs are busy bringing on 30 million more illegals into their fold to stack the deck in their favor.

And to all the RINOs in Versailles on the Potomac, THIS is how your “friends across the aisle” REALLY feel about you.

And to the few remaining Conservatives in Congress, NOW do you believe that this enemy wants you dead?

No change in the House or Senate until the GOP grass roots puts the screws on the GOP politicians, he says.

LOL! Like the grass roots is going to take orders from a control freak.

Why is it that so many Jewish politicians are hell bent on running everyone else's lives?

[Reagan Man]

Many Jews believe if an issue falls outside the parameters of the Ten Commandments -— the Golden Rules -— its open to interpretation. Sorta like how liberals treat the Constitution as a living document and see no problem trampling on it to get their way.

And, the conservative right, along with Rush Limbaugh, owns the mind set of the GOP these days. Where they sit in the minority.

If you believe this, you are either a leftist troll or you're not paying attention.

Funny how easily manipulated people come here thinking it will work on Conservatives because they fell for the leftist talking points like good little lackeys.

I couldn’t disagree with your analysis more. The Republicans lost because they were perceived as a big government party, little different than the Democrats. The Republicans lost because they nominated a weak, inarticulate, candidate who lacked core conservative principles.

GW Bush was a big government guy. I would hardly consider him a fiscal or economic conservative. Social? Yes. National security? Yes. But he was not an economic conservative and the most important issues in the last election cycles was economic.

Earlier, we lost the House and Senate when the electorate failed to perceive a difference between Republicans and Democrats. The GOP congressional delegation acted Democrats at a 10% discount. When given a choice between an imitation Democrat and a real one, the public chose the real thing.

Even with all of the disadvantages, we might have won the White House if we had a viable conservative candidate. McCain is hardly a conservative. His positions are all over the map. Obama, who the media failed to vet and inform the public about, actually ran to the right of McCain economically with a populist twist, promising a tax cut for everyone but the uberwealthy. Even so, without the financial collapse and the Paulson/Geithner Goldman Sachs bailout plan, McCain might still have won.

Obama was a Rorschach candidate. People looked at him and saw whatever they wanted. They voted for him without knowing why, without reason. He’s now in the process of defining himself by his actions and inactions. If the remaining 45 months are like the first 3, America will get to know him well and his popularity will tank.

Obama is not FDR II. He’s Jimmy Carter’s second term. The parallels between Obama and Carter are striking. Carter was also an unknown Rorschach candidate.

Carter and Obama’s elections were similar. Obama received 53% of the popular vote. Obama didn’t have a 3rd party candidate. Carter did. Add Eugene McCarthy’s vote total to Carter and he received 52%. Strikingly, he defeated a sitting president (a moderate Republican, BTW).

Their initial popularity ratings are similar. Carter/Obama Year 1 Total Approval Ratings...

Feb 04 66%/62%
Feb 18 71%/61%
Mar 04 70%/60%
Mar 18 75%/57%
Mar 22 72%/56%
Apr 01 67%/57%

Carter was more popular than Obama at this point.

The Democrats dominated with Carter and Obama. In the 95th Congress Democrats held 61 Senate seats and 292 House seats. In the 111th Congress Democrats hold 56 (effectively 58) Senate seats and 256 House seats with one seat still up for grabs in either chamber.

The Democrats had slightly better control of Congress after Carter was elected.

Both Obama and Carter are ideological, naive about the nature of the world and our enemies, wrong economically, terrible on energy, and unwilling to compromise.

This is not 1932 all over again. It’s 1976. If the Republicans can manage to nominate a candidate who presents a clear difference to Obama in 2012, we win. If we nominate another mushy, wobbly RINO, we lose and the country loses.

I'm praying that this video will become Schumer's political epitaph.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

What a bunch of bovine excrement. What the Hell are you doing posting on a board that’s “in the minority” then?

[tioga]

the schmuck is now the Senior Senator from NY.....LOL...I prefer Former Senator.....just like hilly is now.

[mojitojoe]

The truth comes out.

Truth my a**. Those are fighting words from one of the Marxists out to make OUR country into a Cuba.!

[EBH]

As Hitler explained in Mein Kampf:
The size of a lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell big ones.

[Smokin' Joe]

Sorry, but the GOP has already lost the majority.

It did not lose it, it threw it away--again. Bombard people with a beggar mailer a week, and then tell them their thoughts on the Border, illegal aliens, abortion, etc. are 'too extremist' (albeit they are Constitutional mandates), and then, in the guise of 'fiscal conservatism' piss money away like Democrats used to (Dems have moved the standard of late), and the 'big tent' gets a whole lot smaller.

So does the kitty at election time.

We might get 'stuck' with all this 'centrism', but we don't have to shell out our hard-earned money to support it.

Well, we got the Bush’s. And, the conservative right, along with Rush Limbaugh, owns the mind set of the GOP these days.

As the saying goes, that does not compute.

Bush was to the right of Kerry and Algore, but hardly a Conservative.

Had the Conservative Right owned the Party, the nominee would have been Duncan Hunter, not Juan McCain. We have spent so much time under the GOP bus we know the chassis wiring.
