Chuck Schumer Caught Giving Marching Orders to Colleagues: "Portray Speaker Boehner as Being Boxed-in by 'Extremist' Tea Party"
Topics: Political News and commentaries... or words to that effect:
[...] A minute or two into the talking-points tutorial, though, someone apparently figured out that reporters were listening, and silence fell.We already knew that was the Left's talking point, nonetheless someone might want to teach Schumer how to properly use the mute button on those telephones up there on Capitol Hill.Then the conference call began in earnest, with the Democrats right on message.
"We are urging Mr. Boehner to abandon the extreme right wing," said Ms. Boxer, urging the House to compromise on the scale of spending cuts and to drop proposed amendments that would deny federal financing for Planned Parenthood and for government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency.
Mr. Carper continued with the theme, referring to some House Republicans' "right-wing extremist friends." Mr. Cardin decried Mr. Boehner giving into "extremes of his party." Mr. Blumenthal closed by speaking of the "relatively small extreme group of ideologues" who are "an anchor" dragging down the budget negotiation process.
Makes one wonder if any of these people are actually capable of an original thought of their own ... as in one based on facts rather than political ideology and/or spin.
