How does Chuck ... Schumer say a thing like that and then expect Republican senators to work with him. That's the better question. You got an answer?
Yup, and I'll answer it after you answer my question, which I have posed now multiple times.
I'll answer WT, Schumer spoke the truth. Unlike the House where ideology is king, there are Republican Senators with a sense of independence, not all of them are afraid of Grover Norquist and some of them really do believe in Country First.
Tough love is necessary at times; the current state of our union is one of those times. Schumer's remarks were measured, unlike the comment recently where a Senator called the president a demagogue or when a member of House yelled out "liar" as the president spoke.
How can anyone whose signature line is "I hope he fails" question Schumer's observation? In your heart of hearts admit you hope the economy fails to recover and hope that alone prevents Obama's reelection.
