Schumer: Scared Republicans Can Pass Immigration Reform, Tea Party Has ‘Peaked’
CBS DC ^

Posted on 06/27/2014 6:57:27 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

At a Democratic leaders press conference on Thursday, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that House Republicans are too “afraid of the Tea Party” to pass immigration reform, adding that the reality is that the Tea Party’s power has already “peaked.”

The New York Democrat and longtime immigration reform supporter said that House Republicans are led by false anti-amnesty rhetoric from Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, and conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. Schumer noted that recently ousted House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is the only member of Congress that the “minority” Tea Party voters were able to remove from office.

Libs always give away who or what they’re afraid of by constantly talking about and denigrating them. The Tea Party, talk radio, and the Koch Brothers. The liberals are sitting ducks. If we had a conservative Republican Party with some guts the Democratic Party could be smashed into a million pieces and they would be the ones on the verge of political extinction.

Don’t disagree with anything you said. Another barometer of the dems.; any politician they praise is a politician they don’t fear (Romney).

I think the democrats and republicans have joined to battle the tea party. Republicans don’t care if they beat democrats but the do care about beating tea party candidate. that’s why I quit them

Not long ago they announced the TEA Party is dead.

Now they’re trying to convince themselves the TEA Party has peaked.

Soon they’ll have to face facts ... the TEA Party is alive and doing well!

Yes and the faithful black dem voters will also feel bear the brunt of the illegals. No one in the country thinks that the border situation is good. People outside the beltway have brains.

That will never happen.

You know you're over the target when you start taking flak. The elite are scared to death of us.

Well, of course it won’t happen :-), and I should have noted I was being sarcastic.

The point I see I didn’t make is, they’re going backward in their proclamations:

They first said the TEA Party is dead...

Now saying the TEA Party has peaked...

Next ... Alive and well.

I guess he is referring to the runoff in Mississippi, where the Dems had to spend millions, flood the Republican primary runoff, play the race card, lie, and break the law in order to win. Why did the GOPe have to do that if our power had peaked and we were on the way down?

They just proved by these unprecedented dirty tricks that there is much more to come.
