Schumer Suggests 'Electoral Reform' As Way to 'Lessen the Grip of the Tea Party'
CNSNews ^ | 1/24.2014 | Susan Jones

Posted on 01/24/2014 9:51:25 AM PST by rktman

Although the tea party's influence is "undeniable," it is not inevitable -- and it must be crushed for the good of the nation, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) argued in a long political speech on Thursday.

"They've won elections, stymied Democratic priorities and taken a sledgehammer to programs that are important to tens of millions of Americans," he complained.

A warning to my fellow FReepers.

It should be becoming abundantly clear what is happening here. Liberals assume that it is their right to rule and that Tea Party patriots stand in their way.

Liberals have amped up their rhetoric which is sharply aimed at Tea Party Americans, Obama, Reid, Cuomo, Schumer. Recall Hitler did the same towards Jews.

Simultaneously, Liberals are aggressively, yet not totally openly, attacking those who stand in their way using the IRS, or subpoenaing those who transgress.

In my view, the left is deliberately working to ratchet up the rhetoric of hate and I will not be at all surprised if the Union goons or the Homosexual mafia does not soon take up physical confrontation wherein government official will avert their eyes and claim such actions were justified and no charges are to be filed.

And it will get worse from there. Be forewarned.

I suppose Chuck’s suggestion for open primaries is for the GOP only. He wouldn’t want Republicans participating in the currently closed Dem primaries.

then we set Dynamite at the boarder with Pennsylvania, etc. and blow it.

Not so fast there sparky, that is just phase 1. Then we push to central PA and repeat leaving Eastern PA and NY to their own vices. Allegheny will fall in line once they see that.

Yeah, folks, they’re BEYOND talking about this stuff...it is happening.

Dinesh D’Souza, the NSA, the IRS, executive orders, Patty Murray’s latest missive, the Democrat attorneys general REFUSING to enforce their state’s laws regarding marriage...you name it.

The Democrat party is trying...and succeeding....in their effort to dismantle Christianity, the Constitution, free market Capitalism.

What do we have to do? We have to stop it.

When do we have to stop it? Yesterday.

I hope Schumer gets crushed in the next election.

Perhaps we could require an IQ above 20 for his position....

Canada can have this drivel that isn’t welcome to all Americans.
What did Canada ever do to you to wish them such a fate?

Ha! Good one. Canada at least had the sense to elect a Conservative majority for several elections. I sure wish we had a Stephen Harper in our Senate as the majority leader!

Well, we will simply have to do away with all that silly 'election' stuff, huh?

Chuck the Schmuck’s blather has been reliable for 20 years.

If he favors it, it’s bad

If he opposes it, it’s good

If he says it should be banned, I want one

>> There are 21 democrat senate seats up for grabs in November, 5 of which are retirements,

One of these is the execrable Jay Rockefeller (demon, WV) ... Conservative, constitutionalist Pat McGeehan is running for this US Senate seat. Please support his candidacy.
