Chucky Putzhead Schumer: Reaganism Is Dead

Chuck swung by the Daily News for an editorial board meeting this morning, which you'll be able to read more about in tomorrow's News.

A couple of tidbits from his broader discussion (forthcoming in book form) of how he sees the shifting terrain and the Democrats' edge struck me:

"We're in better shape than [Republicans] are, because they don't realize that Reaganomics is dead, that the Reagan philosophy is dead," he said. "We realize that New Deal democracy, which is still our paradigm, which is sort of appeal to each group ... that doesn't work any more."

He had said a bit earlier, "The old Reagan theory which dominated -- which is, 'Government is bad, it's out of touch, chop off its hands as soon as it moves.' -- is over."

Not sure the conservative love affair with Chuck is going to last.

"Reaganism Is Dead"

Never was alive to dems and in the past 10 years under republican leadership, they did kill it. Chucky's more right then wrong.

[claudiustg]

The more Schumer can become the face of the Democratic Party the better for us.

What "conservative love affair with Chuck"?

If I was a CSI my first suspect would be today's Republican party. They killed Reaganism

[Moonman62]

Yep. Thanks W for the "new tone in Washington."

Reaganism is dead.... and the country is going down the toilet.

Does that make you feel better, Chuckie?

Wow, dude, you are a genius. Lets see, PBA ban, massive tax cuts, massive increase in military spending, ultra-conservative judges (Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owens) and Justices (Alito, Roberts), massive logging in national forests, weekly conference calls with members of the religious right, ... sure, dude, Republicans killed Reaganism.

[OldFriend]

This after the schmuck recruits dem candidates who espouse Reagan ideals?

Wow, he surely has earned his nickname......

[Txsleuth]

He sure does like to live up to his nickname, "Schmuckie" doesn't he?

LOL! You schumerites have one thing in common, the hubris to think that no one here in flyover country can see your obvious misleading.

Yuh know, not all of us on FR are weinerbots.

[Spaghetti Man]

This should be reposted daily over the next 2 years. If you need a rallying cry, this is it.

[ohioWfan]

Let's see how many pseudo-cons come down on Chuckie's side on this thread.

Should be fun.

[Mo1]

Well it's obvious you don't know thing about Reaganism

[edcoil]

Rule one: Dems always accuse you of what they are doing.

[oyez]

Reaganomics actually works well for everybody but the Democrats.

Hah! Schumer still green with envy and prejudice over the Reagan years.

And still the government is the worst source of administration. Since Reagan's time more government (worker's) unions have formed, therefore furthering the inefficiency of government.

[Mo1]

Let them praise Chuckie ..
