Chuck Schumer: 'People like this'

The Republican party has really gone off the deep end. It's one thing to spread BS propaganda like they do, it's another thing when they continue to go to the mat claiming that it's all true despite a hurricane of evidence to the contrary - evidence that everyone but them can see.

Here's some recent lowlights from the night of the living brain-dead GOP (and this is all from just this past week).

>> Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning proudly predicts Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be dead in nine months and replaced by a conservative judge.

>> Alabama Senator Richard Shelby suggests that President Obama might not be an American citizen.

>> Missouri Representative Roy Blunt insists that President Obama is trying to create a depression...so he can save us from it.

>> GOP chairman Michael Steele goes from saying that "I think that’s an important opportunity for us, absolutely" to consider civil unions for gays...to saying "No, no no. What would we do that for? What are you, crazy?"

Jesus would have preferred we spend 1 trillion dollars in Iraq. 4 trillion borrowed dollars spent the last four years on the rich and multi national corporations would be much better. Jesus hated the poor, unemployed and school children that will be receiving some of the stimulas money.

I can say one thing, I'm sick of every Politician (any party) from the President down, to people who are in appointed positions that say stuff like, "well, in a $787 billion bill, a $200 million project is very little".
I can't give exact quotes but it's been said. And all those little %'s start to add up. Sick of Politicians taking the People for granted. They need to be stopped.

Funny...I just heard this add.....they have changed the "people like this " line.

Jesus would have had a lot of rachmanas for Schumer whether he agreed with him or not.

Only the arrogant would suppose they knew what position he would take on a given issue. All we can do is try to come from the space that he would come from and do what we can without divine wisdom. There is a reason that the founding fathers wanted a separation of church and state. This ad is a representation of what is wrong with an admixture of the two.

to PG: House Dems just proposed another $410 billion on Monday to keep the gov running to the end of the fiscal year - fiscal responsibility?

There will be a backlash. It is inevitable.

People who work, don't want their money given to others, who don't work.

People who work, don't want their taxes to rise to support those that don't work.

People who have contributed to Social Security and Medicare don't want it ripped from them when they approach retirement.

That is what is occuring with this democratic president and the democratically dominated congress.

Nothing changes in Washington, just a new "gang" with protections and riches for themselves.

There is no change in foreign policy. The same people position themselves in both parties.

Has anything changed in the Middle East?

Will anything change in the Middle East?

Why do you think the arabs are upset?

The jews have positioned themselves in both the democratic and republican parties.

There is no change.

What percentage of jews fight in the armed forces? That would be an interesting statistic.

Probably more racial minorities fighting on the ground than jews.

Even Biden's son is behind a desk. Wonder where Palin's son is? Someone find out what job he has.

Tired of one group shedding blood to support a group that does not participate in the fight but sit behind desks directing those on the ground.

Without the military who would fight for the jews?

And what percentage of jews are fighting on the ground in the Middle East?

It's upsetting. Can a jew give answer, give the percentage, explain the low participation of jews in the armed forces?

Mark, maybe, just maybe, if you left your cloistered Tribune Tower instead of staying at your desk channeling left-wing websites, you'd come up with the obvious answer as to who "people like this" refers: in the ad's "more than a trillion dollars of your money borrowed and spent by people like this." while showing a photo of Sen. Chuck Schumer, the phrase "people like this" refers to--duh--Chuck Schumer!

Yes, the Pork King from New York. The one who said that Americans "really don't care" about "those little, tiny, yes, porky amendments" that get tucked into bills like the federal stimulus package. And no, I don't want my hard-earned cash taxed, borrowed or spent by Chuck Schumer.

Took me about a tenth of a second to realize what the phrase referred to. But I guess I don't have the vast insight that comes from being a Tribune journalist.

There will be a backlash. It is inevitable.People who work, don't want their money given to others, who don't work. People who work, don't want their taxes to rise to support those that don't work.

.................

People who are hired to bash unions and blue collar workers (you) for their Republican big business overlords are in the minority because they've been voted there in the last two landslide elections by the American people.

The backash has already happened and you're on the wrong end of it.

PS - Republicans don't protest, they hire people like you to do it for them.

Since Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour are such big believers in keeping Federal government money out of state affairs, I’m sure they’ll soon be announcing they’re sending back the nearly $100 Billon their states have received or will receive in Federal assistance in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Because, if we just let the free market and the private sector do its magic, unfettered by that bastard Washington D.C., Haley and Bobby are certain the levies would have magically reappeared and all the lost homes and business would have sprung right back to life. (Not to mention all the people rescued thanks to Federal help).

Those of us unlike Bobby and Haley and their minions, those of us who believe government should do (and obviously does) much more than just build bombs and hand out tax cuts, would like all that money back so it could be put to better use. Bobby and Haley can explain to their constitutents why the Free Market Fairy left all the roads unbuilt, the hospitals unrepaired, the business shuttered, and the levies left wide open for the next hurricane.

At at time when most bigotry is based on race, it's certainly refreshing to have a goose-stepper like "no respect" pipe in with its venom. Fair and balanced hatred, I suppose.

Yes, NR, you've nailed it. It's all about the Jews. Money grubbing thieves. And too cowardly to serve in the military, evidently (someone forgot to tell that to Israel though).

I think your leftwing vitriol is somewhat misplaced ... I am much more disturbed by ‘No respect’ remarks that Jews don't do enough of the fighting. I can't find any remarks about unions. BTW just because someone doesn't support unions doesn't mean they don't support the workers and in turn pray at the altar of big business This is a ridiculous and silly statement

I am sorry so many think Government can save them. It is not the Governments JOB. Bad business should fail!! People should pay there own way in this Country. If the Country is to survive people need to help each other not the Government
