1. Good. I want somebody else. nt

2. Ted Cruz would probably support Schumer for Republican leader....n/t

[DeadLetterOffice]

3. Good. He's one of my senators and he creeps me out.

15. Just wrote and told him exactly that.

His office phones are all jammed.

4. If only . . .

the President had such control over his own Party. On the other hand, AIPAC and the Saudis have such double death grips on Congress that they could probably have Obama impeached, if both really squeezed hard at the same time.

5. It would be a travesty if he was made Democratic Senate leader

6. let him have it for all our futures sake: http://www.chuckschumer.com/contact

8. he's not a leader, he's a shameless, pandering, disloyal backbencher

on his good days.

Better to have a lion at the head of army of sheep than a sheep at the head of an army of lions.

9. Good. I am...

...delighted to hear this.

[City Lights]

10. Good.

It would sicken me if he became leader after this.

[FlatBaroque]

11. But the bankers all give him money to give to other politicians

I wonder why...

[PADemD]

12. Good!

13. Why is it even possible

to have any senator who has citizenship in two countries? And how is it possible for Schumer, who's tied for first place as the most liberal Senator kiss the asses of Israel's far right wing leaders?

I don't care that his constituents are Jews, or even if they were right wing conservative Jews. He's a Senator in the State of New York and ALL the people are his constituents.

I'm still not over Bibi addressing the House. Now this ... the tail is wagging the dog and we all need to speak up and primary those who are working hard for Netanyahu and his war mongering politics.

14. he is NOT a citizen of Israel. It does no one any good to repeat that line.

Legally, he's only a citizen of the United States.

[Fred Sanders]

20. Schumer is not representing the will of his constituency, it is as simple and anti-democratic and

anti-Democratic Pary and anti-peace as that, though predicted long ago....some folks in the Senate need to decide if their virtual Israel citizenship is more to their liking than their real-time, real world American citizenship.

Schumer has decided only for himself and his self-interest.

[zentrum]

16. If only.

[angel123]

17. Schumer citizen of United States

Then he should act like it. I am sick of him and his dedication to Israel before the U.S.

[The Wizard]

18. First I'm an American

Chuck Schumer on the other hand...................... What some people will do for a 'donation" to an off shore money laundry.

19. From the linked article

“While not unexpected, it is outrageous and unacceptable that the Democrat who wants to be the party’s leader in the Senate is siding with the Republican partisans and neoconservative ideologues who are trying to scrap this agreement and put us on the path to war,” said MoveOn.org Political Action Executive Director Ilya Sheyman in a statement.

21. Good! Warmongers suck, no matter what party they belong to!

Schumer should lose his chance at leadership.

[tritsofme]

22. No it's not. Schumer isn't going anywhere, and won't face any serious challenge

to his succession of Reid.

[Tom Rinaldo]

23. This time, I believe, conventional wisdom is wrong

Thee is a presidential race gearing up and activism is growing. Few of them see it coming but there's a storm about to make landfall.

[Faryn Balyncd]

24. Schumer would be the worst leader in history.
