"CHUCKIE" SCHUMER AND HIS BIG MOUTH, ENTER INTO THE BUDGET FRAY...

Liberal Democrat "Chuckie" Schumer, the Senate’s No. 3 Democrat, has also now gotten into the budget act having come out and accused all of those mean old Republicans of seeking to slow the U.S. economy for political gain in the ongoing debate over cutting budget deficits. And he insists that the Democrats now have the “upper hand” in the negotiations. Well, that would be only if the American people are as blind as they are stupid! Look, in just the last two years, which political party is it that has enacted more economy killing policies, policies that have actually succeeded in doing nothing more than to bring our economy to pretty much of a stand still. The evidence is pretty clear on that. Was it the Republican Party? No, "Chuckie," I'm afraid not, you pompous old gas bag. Our buddy "Chuckie" here, is really doing nothing more than to try to point a boney old finger at the Republicans when it's been the Democrats all along who have been busying themselves trying to kill our economy. And it was the Democrats who used the same tactics of which "Chuckie" speaks, against Bush, only at a time when the economy was actually chugging along quite well. In raising the rhetorical stakes in such a way, "Chuckie" really has accomplished nothing more than to reveal the level of desperation that must now present within his party. While party leaders are about as far apart as they can possibly be over any plan to cut the deficit and increase the U.S. debt limit, "Chuckie" said Republican leaders are seeking deep spending cuts as part of an effort to slow U.S. growth and to purposely hurt Barry "Almighty's" chances of winning re-election next year. Again, I guess he speaking from experience since he must be talking about how Democrats employed those tactics against then president Bush. “It is becoming clear that insisting on a slash-and-burn approach may be part of this plan,” "Chuckie" said today at the Economic Policy Institute in Washington. If there is a group anywhere more familiar with the use of such tactics, outside of al Qaeda of course, that would be the Democrat Party. “It has a double benefit for Republicans: It is ideologically tidy and it undermines the economic recovery, which they think only helps them in 2012.” The only party that has ever gone about the undermining of our economy in the hopes of achieving some level of political gain, it would be the Democrat Party. So, the two parties remain at odds over Republican demands that only spending cuts, and no tax increases, be included in a companion plan to cut record-high deficits. And as we all know, Democrats just hate to cut spending.

Barry, himself, has insisted time and time again that higher taxes must be part of any budget pact and warned of “significant and unpredictable” consequences if Congress doesn’t act soon to raise the debt ceiling. So, apparently, "Chuckie" remains pretty convinced that the Democrats will now have a distinct advantage from here on out in any deficit talks, in part because Republican leaders last week quit bipartisan negotiations, led by Vice President "Slow Joe" Biden, over the tax issue. But I have to ask, just how long can you spend beating your head against a wall before you simply have to say, enough is enough. And as those of us with children have experienced at some point in our lives, and on any number of occasions, you simply cannot reason with a 2 year old without eventually becoming reduced to a babbling idiot. And that is what the Democrat Party has now become, a bunch of two year olds, as well as a bunch babbling idiots. The public will likely blame Republicans for any default on obligations to bondholders, proclaimed "Chuckie," and Democrats should have little reason to compromise on any of "their" main demands. Those demands, of course, include higher revenue through higher taxes and a requirement that any deficit-reduction deal leave intact benefits for Medicare beneficiaries, he said. He declined to provide any numbers regarding the size of tax increases Democrats want to see in a final plan. Well of course he's not going to tell us now how high he wants raise our taxes. Republicans who “say they are perfectly willing to default on our obligations rather than give a single inch,” "Chuckie" said, are “testing the limits of these talks to see how possible it is to get a deal fully on their terms.” “I think they are bluffing,” he said. “We have a good opportunity to prevail on our critical priorities.” So "Chuckie," who I guess feels the situation calls for the making of threats has now thrown down the gauntlet and is advocating that the Democrats hold firm and force the Republican to simply abandon their demands. To surrender to the Democrats and to cower on some corner, allowing the Democrats to then drive us even farther into debt than they already have. Republicans had best not go wobbly now or any hopes of achieving any sort of election victory come 2012 will go up in smoke. "Chuckie" also rambled on about some “jobs agenda” that Senate Democrats plan to advance during the next six months, saying Democrats will propose a measure to boost highway construction, clean-energy legislation and a measure to overhaul the visa system for highly skilled immigrant workers. Democrats have us on the road to economic ruin and must not be permitted to win this fight.


So there you have the latest Democrat strategy that they see as providing them with the best chance they have of ramming something else down the throats of the American people. That being a tax hike to cover the cost of their rabid spending.

"CHUCKIE" SCHUMER LETS THE PROVERBIAL CAT OUT OF THE BAG….

Man, don't you just love all of this new warm and fuzzy civil discourse that's suddenly popping up just about everywhere. First it was in Wisconsin with the Democrats going AWOL by running south of the border into Illinois in an effort to effectively "shut down" the state government, then with Democrats in Indiana following suit in their attempt to do the same thing and now it has even appeared in Washington with the topic of discussion being the prospects of a government shutdown. The most recent example of that afore mentioned civil discourse was put on full display just yesterday when the esteemed Senator "Chuckie" Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of the Democratic Senate leadership, got on a conference call with some reporters. Apparently, however, he began his little dissertation just a little too soon and without realizing that the reporters that had been summoned were already on the line. Old "Chuckie" thought he was on a private line with four Democratic senators who were there to talk with those very same reporters about the current budget stalemate. So it was then that as reporters listened, "Chuckie" went on to describe the tactics to be employed, as well as to instruct fellow his Democrats in how to go about the painting of Republicans, especially House Speaker John Boehner, as extremist Tea Party zealots in the ongoing budget debates.

"Chuckie" instructed this little cadre of sociopaths, which was made up of Senators Barbara Boxer of California, Tom Carper of Delaware, Ben Cardin of Maryland and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, that whenever the opportunity presented itself, they were to tell all reporters within earshot that it is the Republican Party who is to be blamed for any looming government shutdown because it is they have taken up a position of refusing to negotiate. Now we all know how it is that the Democrats define, negotiate. It nearly always a very one sided "discussion" in which they are never the ones who are expected to compromise in any way, that's always left for the other guys. He told the group to make sure that they go out of their way to label the Republican spending cuts as being far too "extreme." “I always use the word extreme,” "Chuckie" told his fellow Democrats. “That is what the caucus instructed me to use this week.” Such is the rampant hypocrisy present in today's highly partisan Democrat Party. The old adage of "Do as I say, not as I do," is very much alive and well. It is the basis for their entire corrupt philosophy. The only way that Democrats are ever able to attain any level of success in advancing their freedom killing agenda, is to lie about and to totally distort any and all facts in order to deceive the American people just long enough to achieve that which they seek. Which is more control through which they are then able to amass even more power!


"The main thrust is basically that we want to negotiate and we want to come up with a compromise but the Tea Party is pulling Boehner too far over to the right and so far over that there is no more fruitful negotiations," "Chuckie" said during the call. "The only way we can avoid a shutdown is for Boehner to come up with a reasonable compromise and not just listen to what the Tea Party wants." "Chuckie" described Boehner as "in a box," over the budget negotiations. This little exchange provided a brief peek behind the curtain coming as "Chuckie" was about to start his conference call with the slimy Democrats mentioned above. So with the No. 3 Democrat in the Senate apparently unaware that many of the reporters were already on the line he began revealing what passes as the current strategic messaging for Democrats on the issue of the budget. So I guess what "Chuckie" is really saying here is that the possibility of government shutdown is viewed as a win/win scenario for the Democrats. Democrats see themselves as being able to remain stubbornly opposed to the Republican budget demands in an attempt to get the Republicans to cave, or they can expedite the bringing about of such a shutdown and then blame the Republicans for it then having taken place. That's quite the winning strategy that these pathetic practitioners of mayhem have laid out for themselves. I can't imaging being so consumed with a need for power that I'd be willing to so thoroughly take advantage of my fellow Americans and then turn right around and be so cavalier about it.


So anyway, after about a minute or two into his little talking-points tutorial, one of these clowns must have finally figured out that reporters were listening because suddenly things went very quiet, or so the report goes. But by that time the cat was officially well out of the bag. After finding their bearings, the Democrats recovered and then launched right into their more scripted and somewhat conciliatory message geared for public dissemination. “We are urging Mr. Boehner to abandon the extreme right wing,” said "Bimbo" Boxer, urging the House to compromise on the scale of spending cuts and to drop proposed amendments that would deny federal financing for Planned Parenthood and for government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency. Carper, too, hit on the word “extreme,” referring to some House Republicans’ “right-wing extremist friends.” Cardin decried Boehner’s giving into “extremes of his party.” Blumenthal closed by speaking of the “relatively small extreme group of ideologues” who are “an anchor” dragging down the budget negotiation process. If the word "extreme" can be applied to anything, it is the lengths to which these Democrats will go to bring about a financial collapse in this country. So if we follow "Chuckie's" plan to its expected conclusion, if there is to be an agreement that will prevent a government shutdown, it is the Republicans who must compromise in order to avert it.


So after all was said and done, "Chuckie" thanked his colleagues for doing the budget bidding for the Senate Democrats, and then instructed them to go off and do their best to portray John A. Boehner of Ohio, and the speaker of the House, as being painted into a box by the Tea Party, and to decry any and all spending cuts that he is proposing as being "extreme" and "draconian." That is to be the word of the day, to be repeated ad nauseam. Everything is to be portrayed as being "extreme." Also part of the Democrat smear campaign are the continuing efforts being made to portray The Tea Party folks as being nothing more than a group of racist 'extremists" who have but one goal. And that goal is to return us to some dark time in the past and to even reinstitute slavery. Is that a twisted mentality or what? These guys turn my stomach. And they are counting on the stupidity of the American people which, as we have seen on any number of occasions, usually comes to work in their favor. And as always, we have our state-controlled media never hesitant about being willing to play whatever part it is called upon to play by the Liberal Democrats, standing at the ready to lob whatever incendiary rhetoric that may be called for in the ongoing assault on freedom and the campaign to perpetuate the insanity of the so-called "progressive" agenda. They continue to envision they're being able to create that ever-elusive utopia. But at what cost?


Republicans were quick to blast "Chuckie's" imbecilic and outright partisan remarks. “It just lends to the fact to what we’ve always known, that this is a political game," said Rep. Allen West on Fox News. "It’s about gamesmanship, it’s about maneuvering, and it really is about politics. It’s not about doing what is best for the American people, it’s not about reducing the size and scope of the federal government so we can get back to have long-term, sustainable economic and job growth. I think Charles Schumer showed his hand. Now it’s up to the American people to realize who are really the ones who are standing as an obstacle for us to move forward.” Ah, but then that's the $64,000 question, isn't it? Look, it is a very well-known fact that the American people are not the brightest people on the planet when it comes to recognizing, or possessing even a basic understanding of, what it is that's going on here. Rep. West, a man I have very quickly come to admire, added that "Chuckie", "Dingy" Harry, and of course Barry, want, and are quite desperate for, a government shutdown to take place so that they can then use it to blame Republicans, and better position themselves for 2012. Even that ever-present loudmouth, Howard "The Screamer" Dean, says that he's quietly, or not so, cheering for a shutdown to take place because he says, "he knows who will get the blame." So yes, it's all about politics and most definitely not about what's best for the country nor the American people. So we'll just have to wait and see on which side it is that the American people will come down. Will they continue to allow themselves to be hornswoggled by these scumbag Democrats or will they, this time around, finally be able to see through all of the liberal political chicanery. Only time will tell.
