Schumer on CNN: I have no criticism of the President (plus Bolton update)

[Karmadillo]

Doing a good job re: Israel/Lebanon etc. He's standing arm in arm with progressive Senator Mitch McConnell. No ceasefire now. That would leave Hezbollah with a gun to the head of the Israeli nation etc. Hezbollah uses civilians as shields etc.

RE Bolton: He's assessing the Good Bolton (support for Israel) along with the Bad Bolton (tendency to prefer go it alone solutions in North Korea etc.). Looking at the votes, a filibuster is unlikely. Go Opposition Party!!

1. What the hell is Schumer smokin??

Damn fool

[ixion]

2. it's hard work destroying the planet

:sarcasm:

[Beelzebud]

3. Sometimes our D.C. Dems make me want to give up..

[Cha]

4. Maybe schumer should take

a lesson from lie-man and "no criticism" of the president(SIC).

[chimpymustgo]

7. It's basically the same playbook. Disgusting. nt

[Hubert Flottz]

21. I think they've been reading the same playbook...

Another single issue senator!

[gratuitous]

5. Charles in the running to be the new Joementum?

Schumer missing his old pal already, and Lieberman hasn't lost his primary race yet.

I'd be fascinated to hear what Schumer thinks Bush is doing that constitutes a "good job" in relation to the Israel versus the Muslim World fracas.

[flyarm]

11. well we need to remind him that his job is not safe either!

that we dems will not put up with his shit just like we won't from his neighbor to the north!

18. schumer's not al demato but

he's lookin' too much like lie-man to suit me. I voted for him way in '98 when he was first running..and to think my repuke bil didn't want to have "his guns taken" away. Musta been listening to limpballs.

[qanda]

6. I had to turn the station

It literally turned my stomach.

[partylessinOhio]

23. I had to turn him off too. He should run for office in Israel. He is NOT

representing an American state.

[Skidmore]

8. Schumer also riffed:

"We've all seen the pictures of the chidren and it turns your stomach, but who's to blame here...yada yada yada."

Also said it's not about "moral equivalency."

Chuck Schumer has so jumped the shark and deserves to be Liebermanned.

[tnlefty]

9. I was hoping that I was dreaming and didn't actually see that, but

I guess I'll go with the confirmation of 'your lying eyes', too.

I may have to start drinking early today.

[flyarm]

10. we need to do a campaign to call his office and say enough!

to stfu..that we the people have had enough..and we will not support anyone rethug or dem how supports this carnage of civilians..

period the end..we must stop our own in their tracks

we must say no ..hell no...and we must have the will to have our voices heard!


no murder in my name..not today, not tommorrow and not the next day!

never!

12. "There's A Good Part of Bolten, He's Been A Staunch And Good Defender

of Israel at the U.N.."

Well, gee, guess he gets a pass then.

[Beelzebud]

15. Is Bolton at the UN to represent the U.S. or Israel?

This is all so confusing. Do we still have the United States of America, or is this the United States of Israel?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

26. I think he's there to represent PNAC as one of its original founders

the PNAC way of thinking representing the very worst side of both the United States and Israel.

[HereSince1628]

13. It's important to his base.

I know every Israeli or every American Jewish citizen doesn't agree with Israel's current assault on Lebanon. But look at this map...



Regionally in the US where would you expect Senators would need to be more careful in their criticisms of Israel?

[Skidmore]

17. Careful? How about outright kiss up? When does the interests

of the citizens of the United States depart from those of the State of Israel? Is there any other group that has more dual nationals? A

[drduffy]

14. What a piece of crap he is....

Schumer and his ilk are among the reasons I can't call myself a democrat anymore. Schumer, et. al., are beltway, wall street, neocon, corporatist ass-licking pieces of shit. Hillary and Bill are in there too, licking up to Carlyle.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. The "not as bad party" is living up to it's reputation.

Again.

Pathetic politicians playing politics with peoples' lives...again.

[City Lights]

19. We are so fucked.

:nuke: :mad: :grr: :argh: :banghead:

[leesa]

20. Schumer needs to go. He is for Israel first, US second.

We don't need any more of this trash in our government.

[UTUSN]

22. JFK had to SWEAR that he would not take orders from the Vatican

Shrub and his supporters have broken that pact with the nation. The religious issue had been DEALT with by JFK. It is wide open and bleeding again. And every Jewish politician running for high office will have to face it again, not to mention the non-Jewish politicians who are panderer/hangers-on.

[spanone]

24. If Schumer has no criticism of the president? I have no use for Schumer.

He is irrelevent.

He's entrenched in political money making.

I intend to vote a straight democratic ticket this year, If Schumer was on it I would abstain from that vote.

[liberaliraqvet26]

25. Schumer for leader of Kadima!!!

and he could take holy Joe for Likkud too!!!
