Oh Chuck, why are you such a pushover?
On CNN right now, Chuck Schumer just said Bush essentially deserves equal credit for this.

This is why Democrats always falter at turning public opinion on something major. We're so quick to diminish the greatness of OUR leaders and that's exactly what happens when you bring Bush up to Obama's level.

6. Why would it mean that?
Edited on Tue May-03-11 06:54 PM by RandomThoughts
It does not mean you have to be false or go without, but if they are in hardship, then you should be able to spare some good will.

It is actually the concept of breaking up consolidations also.

7. Gracious, my ass.
Sorry, I don't mean to direct my ire at you, babylon sister. It's just that the idea that Bush deserves any credit at all is absurd on its face..., and I am really weary of Dems bending themselves into pretzels so they can be kicked in yet another tender spot. Right Wingers don't do honey.

9. I saw Schumer on Fox within last 6 mos. He ended interview by saying, "Pleased to be here. You're
You're fair."

Really. Seriously.

10. WTF is with Schumer?
He blows hot and cold with more regularity than Old Faithful.

Is he with progressives or against us? Someone should call him on his BULLSHIT.
