Schumer seeks to poison Tea Party ["government can be a force for good"]

The Hill ^ | January 23, 2014 | Alexander Bolton

[ThunderSleeps]

Can be... Yeah, sure. But the overwhelming majority of the time adding government bureaucracy and waste to any issue makes it worse.

[firebrand]

How does he plan to do that when the Rats’ beloved amnesty will be taking jobs away from American workers?

[cdcdawg]

“A majority of Tea Partiers do support raising the minimum wage. They like to stand up for the little guy,” she said.

There is still much work to be done. Support for raising the minimum wage is support for big government.

[The Working Man]

Democrats believe ‘this’, Democrats believe ‘that’.

The problem with the Democrats and the Republicans is that neither of the two parties listen to the citizens. Not the residents, not the Illegal Aliens... THE CITIZENS! And then they are surprised at how low our opinion is of them? But then in all candor their opinion of the citizens is a Lot lower in comparison. All we are is a cash cow to be milked and milked, forgetting that the cow has to be ‘freshened’ to be able to milk her later on.

And we are just about dried up and empty. Their attempts at ‘freshening’ just aren’t working this time. Can’t you feel it?

[cripplecreek]

Our rich funders?

Like the chamber of commerce?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Again with the Koch brothers nonsense but not a word about George Soros, Bill Gates, nearly every money man in Hollywood and a thousand other left-wing fat cats who support Mr. Obama, the DNC and all the PACs, NGOs, think-tanks and foundations on the left. How tiresome.

[KC_Conspirator]

Author is a left wing jerk. This reads like a press release from the Schumer office.

[txrefugee]

Government has been very, very good to Schumer and the other multi-millionaires that claim to be “public servants.” They are the Fat Cats now, with the five counties clustered around Washington D.C. the wealthiest in the USA.
No wonder he hates the TEA Party, made up of the Skinny Cats, who have caught on to the evils of “oppressive government” that the Founders warned about.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

“And in another sign of better coordination between congressional Democrats and Obama’s team, Organizing for Action, a grassroots action group created to support the president’s agenda, has helped coordinate events around the country this week to pressure GOP lawmakers to support extended unemployment benefits.”

RE :”“Wealthy Tea Party leaders have convinced Tea Party rank and file and many other Americans that anti-government ideology is the answer to their problems — but many Tea Partiers and sympathizers support government programs — Democrats must exploit the difference,” Schumer’s office said in a statement announcing the speech”

There is a problem with your narrative Chuckie.

Its the ‘wealthy’ GOPe who wants to work with you and the Dems, like on amnesty, and making Obamacare work.

Proof of the need for term limits

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

From page one of The United States Statutes at Large, paragraph two, the permanent laws of the United States of America.

I have heard people say "the Declaration isn't law"... it's not my fault they don't realize it has been passed by Congress multiple times.
Not sure, but I think the last time was 2002...

[dead]

Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the Senate Democrats’ political guru, has a plan to poison the Tea Party by driving a wedge between its rich funders and its blue-collar rank and file... in the address at the Center for American Progress...

Look where he's speaking this "address to conservatives."

It's not for conservatives, it's for fundraising. But the dopes will for it. Chuckie knows how to squeeze that lemon.

[Zeppo]

Cliff’s Notes of Schumer’s rant:

“Communism good. Freedom bad.”

[Madame Dufarge]

Yeah, what Democrat pollsters and Chuck Schumer "think" and "believe" will surely resonate with the Tea Party voters.

The whole piece is just another Dem fever dream.

[From The Deer Stand]

The Dems continual mention of the Koch brothers gets old in the face of the many rich liberals who support socialists like Schumer and his ilk. Obamacare is getting worse by the day and people are starting to shun Obama and his lefties. Good luck Schumer. You have big problems to deal with. Your fantasy world is falling apart.

[Bob]

I seriously doubt that there’s all that much support for raising the minimum wage among Tea Partiers. Are the Dims twisting their polling results or just outright lying? That’s the only question in my mind.

[liberalh8ter]

Hey Schmuckie....what right do you have to quash a faction of Americans who desire representation that reflects their core values and beliefs? Let all comers bring forward their platform and let the people decide. It really pi$$e$ me off they way the DemonRATS spend a majority of their time structuring the opposition party (between bouts of destroying the Country). It equally pi$$e$ me off the way the GOPe stands there with their thumbs up their keesters, whistling and staring at the ceiling while it’s going on. Stay in your own sandbox, Schmuckie.

[stanne]

He sets a false premise in the beginning , big money donors vs rank and file

That’s where I stop reading and scroll. It is such a time stealing long winded propaganda piece that just the time it takes to scroll becomes too much

What does Schumer care? His territory is New York. It should be, anyway. Is he worried about losing chairmanships?
