Chuck Schumer to announce his betrayal of President, party and country tomorrow
 
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/chuck-schumer-planning-to-break-with-obama-oppose-iran-deal_55c3f7e9e4b0d9b743dba71d

New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the chamber's third-ranking Democrat, plans to announce his opposition to the nuclear deal negotiated by the U.S., Iran, and five world powers tomorrow, three people familiar with his thinking tell The Huffington Post.

Schumer's move will come a day after New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Schumer's fellow New York senator, Kirstin Gillibrand, announced their support for the deal. That momentum is blunted by Schumer's pending announcement. Backers of the deal had hoped that if Schumer decided to oppose the deal, he would hold off until the last minute.

Schumer's support of a war footing over diplomacy puts him at odds with the Democratic caucus he intends to lead next term, though it is consistent with the position he has long taken.

As the soon-to-be leader of his party in the Senate, Schumer’s decision to directly fight President Barack Obama on the biggest foreign policy achievement of his presidency is a bold, but not surprising, move. Schumer has long been more hawkish on foreign policy than some of his fellow Democrats. In 2002, he voted for the Authorization for the Use of Military Force in Iraq. In 2006 he backed John Bolton's nomination to serve as George W. Bush's ambassador to the United Nations, reportedly telling a Senate Democratic caucus meeting that "a vote against Bolton was a vote against Israel." Bolton is an ardent foe of negotiation with Iran.

Chuck Schumer is a piece of shit warmonger who is 100% Republican/Likud when it comes to foreign policy. He has as much place being the next leader of Democrats in the Senate as did Joe Lieberman or Zell Miller.

Those of us who know what a piece of garbage Schumer is and where his loyalties lie saw this coming.

2. He has betrayed our country, his party, and his Presiden
 
He should take over after Reid. He just disqualified himself and anyone who votes for him betrays us.

3. Did you really expect anything else from Schumer?

Schumer has a sizable Jewish constituency and has developed close ties to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the influential pro-Israel lobbying group that has pledged over $20 million to kill the nuclear accord. During his 34 years in Congress, Schumer has become fond of telling his voters that his surname is derived from “shomer,” the Hebrew word for “guardian.” “I am a shomer for Israel and I will continue to be that with every bone in my body,” he said in 2010.

5. I've been guarenteeing that he would choose Netanyahu over Obama
 
all along.

He's a war pig, a wall street pig, a traitorous pig, a disloyal pig. 

<<<wonders what the geek primitive's real problem is.

4. I think it's about time for Schumer to retire.

6. No, he's all set to be the next leader of the Democrats in the Senate.
 
Because he can raise money.

Being a disloyal, treasonous sellout enables him to do that.

12. It's not being a third wayer. Schumer is just a war pig who wants us
 
to fight a war on behalf of Israel.

He supported the Iraq war under Bush, and now he wants to launch one under the next President.

I highly doubt the traitor wants a Democrat to win in 2016. 

You know, I never liked Schumer; his smug arrogant self-righteous I-know-better-than-you-do attitude's a turn-off.....not to mention his far left fringe extremist politics.

But now after reading this, I'm starting to think that perhaps Schumer's the greatest U.S. Senator in the history of New York since the memorable Alphonse d'Amato.

Lock-step loyalty is the only accepted behavior...otherwise there will be consequences.

They're the far left. They're kooks. They're whackos.

Their only loyalty is to their extremist ideology. And when it's put into practice and goes wrong, they point their finger at anything and everything except their failed ideology and themselves.

Schumer is Cindy Sheehen is every other useful idiot of which liberals make use until they don't do exactly as they wish, then they're "a piece of #@%& warmonger." In the 90's, Bill Clinton was their darling. Now, he's a corporate stooge who sold them out with NAFTA and welfare reform. Give them a few years and Obama will be mud to them, too.

It's exactly how the nuts at Free Republic turned on the Republican leadership.

Could Charles Schumer be Ralph Nadered?

a conservative..... never considered Harry to be a Liberal. looks like Chuck is the same fake as Harry is. although Harry knows how to play nice..

And you wonder - admit it, you do - why we laugh at you.

Well, I have to give props to Chuck the Schmuck, for the first time in his life he will actually be doing something for principle instead of pure partisan political advantage.  It is of course a meaningless gesture, since a third of the Dem Senators would have to defect with him to derail the the Munich Accords errrr, "Iran deal," and that isn't going to happen.  The Dems are big on voting priniciples when it won't change the outcome.

I'm with you 100%.  Now, if he could get Kirsten Gillibrand to change her mind, I'd really be happy.

I think he's doing it purely for political purposes. His own reelection is his biggest political purpose.

The geek primitive's anti-Semitic.

If a liberal extreme left-wing Democrat goy U.S. Senator were doing the same thing Schumer's doing, the geek primitive wouldn't say a thing about it.

Uppity Jew doesn't know his place. - How DARE he not vote exactly the way The One commands.

And swift boated while they're at it.

That did occur to me too, but he has a headlock on them and nobody's going to come out out of the Dem ranks and challenge the heir apparent to the Senate Dem leadership chair over this, just to pry the pro-Israel Jewish vote away from him and then lose the primary when nothing else follows.

[I_B_Perky]

So Chucky Schumer gets thrown under the DU bus. And they call us lemmings.

[jukin]

Very scary and sick people. I have no doubt that anyone of them would have gleefully run the showers in a concentration camp. not necessarily because they hate Jews (which I know they do) but because these useful idiots will do what a cult figure tells them to do. They have neither the brains nor moral compass not to "just follow orders."

The world will be a much better, safer, and saner place when they take their dirt naps.

Oh and of course Chuck the Schmuck did this for political reasons.

I say, without the least bit of reservation, that I believe the Proglodytes want Iran to have the bomb and would be delighted to see a nuke smuggled into Israel go off in Tel Aviv though they would feign shocked surprise and curse Israel for retaliating.

I also think that they would do the same if said nuke were detonated in, say, New York Harbor.

Well, DUmmies, Chuck isn't going to read your hyterical, hyperbolic rants at the DUmp.  He doesn't even read his own constituent letters.  Impotent rage as usual.  You don't matter.
