Two Sides Of Schumer

They're selling him short. Schumer has a least three sides.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Last week Schumer wanted to open the Nation's oil reserves to counteract the cutback in OPEC oil production and higher gas prices. W/O any draws on the reserves, the price of gas dropped 30 cents in our area in the last week. Wrong again, Chuckie.

Schumer is an oily, publicity-seeking cad. The man has no principles and will practice hypocrisy as a standard operating procedure. He is the senatorial posterboy for situational ethics.

Just remember this: What you hear from Senator Schumer now is not what you would have heard from him as recently as two years ago.

Says it all.

This essay and Jonah Goldberg's "Democrats take a U-Turn" speak to a serious problem Democrats have with respect to their strategy of omnicriticism (all Bush actions, all directions, all the time). Stated another way, it's a strategy to throw a lot dirt, and see what sticks, i.e., what the press runs with, giving the story "legs". The problem is that it is a strategy not driven by principle or policy, other than to win at all costs -- the end justifies the means. The intrinsic flaw is that the unprincipled accuser is seen as one who lacks integrity and increasingly one who lacks basic honesty and decency to participate in the civil discourse required in a democracy to formulate sound policy.

Thus, Democrats attack Bush for underfunding Afghanistan and Iraq, criticize the absence of cost estimates on the eve of their release, and then whine that the $20 billion for rebuilding Iraq is too much and could be used in the US (as if, after trillions spent, $20 billion will make a difference where the program is fundamentally flawed). Notice also the sleight of hand in citing the full $87 billion, the bulk of which goes to support our troops, while Democrats pretend to be more patriotic than thou in backing our military. The Democrats' strategy for winning deserves a crushing rebuke in the next elections.

Please, some NY Freeper tell me that the NY GOP is not giving Schumer a free pass in his 2004 election. This guy should be marked as Public Enemy # 3 or 4, and not waltz back to the senate unchallenged.
