Well, boo-****ing-hoo.
Rep. Israel.
Rep. Israel: “Being in the Minority Sucks.â€
by Chad Pergram | February 16, 2011
Lots of lawmakers lament the state of affairs when their party loses the majority in Congress and the voters relegate them to the minority.
But such a twist of fortune has granted Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) what he describes as one of the best jobs in the world.
Democrats are now fighting to regain the majority in the House. And Israel is the man they've tapped to do it, as the tapped him to run the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). That's the national organization dedicated to electing Democrats to the House.
"Being in the minority sucks," blurted Israel Wednesday as he entered the room for his first, formal chat with reporters.
Israel says he's a military history buff. He says successful field marshals know three things: the terrain, the climate and how to exploit both. Which is what he's trying to do in 2012 as the Democrats aim to claim 25 seats from the GOP.
He goes on to suggest that Republicans are making his job "
easier every day." What's actually happening is that the Obumbler is making his job more
difficult every day, and his job got a whole lot harder with the latest Federal budget . . .
