Cenk Uygur rightly blasts Senator Schumer for his
incredible statement about voting for the war on this week's Meet the Press:
TIM RUSSERT: Based on what you now know today, do you regret having voted for the war?
SEN. SCHUMER: Well, no, Tim, because my vote was seen and I still see it as a need to say we must fight a strong and active war on terror.
Uygur's response is spot on:
"Are you kidding me? Tying in the original invasion of Iraq with the fight against terrorism and al-Qaeda? Does this guy work for the Bush administration? It’s impossible to be more wrong and more spineless."
My only question is - how can we make Schumer pay for this idiocy?!?
Schumer's position is
unfathomable! - he goes way beyond Kerry's Grand Canyon speech - and on the eve of the Fitzgerald indictments - I am flabbergasted.
Remember, the Republicans in the Senate only mustered 49 votes.
It was the Democrats who literally made this war possible.
And they are still at it!
We must come down on Schumer with extreme prejudice, so that others will think twice before uttering this traitorous nonsense in public.
What form should our response take? I will pay cold hard cash if I know it is going towards removing this man from any real or imagined leadership position in the Democratic party.
And if I read any more cheerleading for Schumer on the Kos front page I think I'm going to be sick.
