Re: He's the senator for NY (none / 1)

Hey, FDR and Elliot Spitzer were governors of NY, too...

Alas, not everyone is born with (none / 1)

principles.

And also, unfortunately, there is no political movement with any power which represents actual living breathing working people and disadvantaged in America anymore.

Re: He's the senator for NY (none / 1)

FDR's also been dead for sixty years, and Spitzer blew his political brains out to get some tail.

I'm afraid hoping for anything worth the powder to blow to hell from Schumer is a lost cause. As soon as this crisis hit, he and Clinton were talking about bailouts for the finance industry and industries connected with it. Without finance, New York is just Ohio with less space and more Puerto Ricans.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.

And what's wrong with Ohio, or Puerto Ricans for that matter? ;-)

Nothing at all. And I quite prefer them to New Yorkers, actually. ;)
