His reasoning: Democrats were targeting the uninsured, a population that he said makes up only about 5 percent of registered voters. Only about one-third of the uninsured, he said, are registered or eligible to vote.

No question about Chuck Schumer being a caring soul.

Well, he is.

he's 100% correct, and Congressional Dems have been reaping the whirlwind ever since (2010 & 2014)

Just wait until you file your tax return for 2014. There's gonna be some surprises waiting. And a lot of people are gonna be very unhappy. Can you say ACA and penalties? "Reconciliation" is the new IRS buzzword with which everyone needs to become familiar.

Good. It's a horrible piece if legislation. It's an anchor around the neck of anybody that supported it.

Obamacare was a mistake. I've said that on her for over a year. It was a corporatist dream which saw the insurance industry mandate that people buy their product.

What we really need is a leftist tea party (Occupy came close to being this).

An intelligent person would grimace if their mind proposed typing that.

For the record, a gathering of like-minded Leftists already has a name. We call it "The Mob", and it is renowned for it's mentality...

It's stuff like this that's taking the heat off the Supreme Court in the new ObamaCare case and will make it easier to rule against it when it's now politically expedient.

Maybe he and his cohorts should write a bill to repeal OidiotCare....

That might be a good start....

How could anyone argue with this?



2 years ago, 100% of Democrats including dickhead Schumer would've argued with it.

He's just smart enough to stick his finger in the air now and realize he fricked up. IDGAF about his self serving crawfishing.

Well. How nice of you to note the OBVIOUS 3 years late. Kudos for your insight. Would've been great if you and your left wing hack ilk would've figure this out around the same time the rest of us did.
