Chuck Schumer Proves Once Again He is an Ass: Calls the Tea Party an Insignificant Flea

If there is a reason Democrats don't have a majority in both houses of Congress, it is the Tea Party. After 2008, Democrats failed to see the Tea Party coming, and they did little to embrace the Constitution in the aftermath. Even Nancy Pelosi couldn't believe she was asked questions about constitutional authority to pass healthcare.

It appears Democrats continue to underestimate the power of the Tea Party, and I believe many RINO Republicans do too. They just aren't as vocal.

Consider this quote from Chuck Schumer today.

Schumer, who has been criticizing Republicans all day, said in a floor speech Friday that conservatives were the flea controlling the dog, which he said in this case is a federal government that could shut down at midnight.

“What we have here is a flea, wagging a tail, wagging a dog,” said Schumer, chairman of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee.

“The flea are the minority of House Republicans who are hard right, the tail is the House Republican caucus, and the dog is the government,” Schumer explained. “That flea is influencing what the dog does ... and it is sad.”

Schumer for more than a week has been arguing that Tea Party conservatives will be to blame if there is a shutdown.

“When either party goes to the extreme they don’t do the right thing,” said Schumer. “My experience is they lose politically, but much more importantly they do what is wrong for the country substantively."

Keep underestimating us Mr. Schumer. Our next target is removing that incompetent man-child who occupies the Oval Office.
