Schumer to Boehner: Ditch the Tea Party, join us!
Yahoo (Daily Caller) ^ | 3/14/2011 | Jonathan Strong

Top-ranking Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer is urging Republican House Speaker John Boehner to ditch the Tea Party and join a coalition that includes Democrats to work around conservative lawmakers on spending cuts.

“It is becoming clear that the path to a bipartisan budget deal may not go through the Tea Party at all. In order to avert a shutdown, Speaker Boehner should consider leaving the Tea Party behind and instead seek a consensus in the House among moderate Republicans and a group of Democrats,” the New Yorker said in a written statement.

Is Boehner that stupid? I don’t care how senior he is, if he climbs into bed with Schumer, he’s gone in 2012.

Let's hope not.

But I guess we're about to find out.

Once agan a republican gives the wrong answer to a reporter writing a democrat propaganda piece. The response should have been, “I call on Senator Schumer to leave the socialists behind and join the American people.”

“Is Boehner that stupid? “

Bart Stupak was that stupid for accepting Obama’s “deal” to cut out abortion funding with an executive order. Everybody knows the new health law will use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions. Stupak was too chicken to run in 2010 knowing that voters would pound him for letting the wool get pulled over his eyes. But for Stupak and a few similarly-minded clowns, we wouldn’t even have the Obamacare mess to clean up.

Meant to add: since progressives managed to fool these Dems, and since they have an even lower opinion about the intelligence of Republicans, you can rest assured Schumer believes Boehner is stupid enough to take his bait.

Boehner knows if the Tea Party gets their way more conservatives will win in 2012 and they will then have the numbers to put a REAL conservative in the Speaker's chair.
Pelosi lost her power by pushing the socialist agenda.
No way Boehner is going to lose his by pushing the conservative agenda.

Cameraman to reporter: "here comes Schumer again...I guess we have to turn on the camera so he can say something enlightening for America."

Never in history has one man said so many stupid things in front of a news camera as Chucky Schumer.

We need a ‘Bizarro World’ (good) Pelosi on our side - someone who will stare down the evil and in-your-face attack! Unfortunately for us, cry baby Boehner ain’t that guy.

The Fat lady is warming up, for the Republican name brand will be a thing of the past. The Tea Party needs to move on without them. Unfortunately, by 2012, it may be too late to save the good ole USA from financial meltdown due to currency crisis (QE^n).

Schumer may be the oiliest, scummiest of Dems these days. He’d scare a hyena off a gut heap.
