Once thing you can always count on with liberals - their arrogance knows no bounds

Now Chucky Schumer is pissed the voters are not giving Dems all the credit he thinks they deserve

Well, Dems will be rewarded for all they have done. Voters will thank them on Nov 2 for adding trillions to the nations debt, putting millions more on the unemployment line, calling people who oppose their liberal agenda Nazi's and racists, having the Federal government take over private companies, passing unpopular legislation that forces private citizens to pay more and buy health insurance, and taxing individuals and comanies to the brink

I can assure Sen Schumer Dems will get all the credit they so richly deserve




“Sour” voters reluctant to award Democrats for their legislative success are one of the reasons the party is trailing in the polls, according to Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).

But Senate leaders will keep trying to change that with a jobs-based September agenda, the Senate Democratic Conference vice chairman said Thursday.

Asked why the Democrats are still expected to lose seats in November after passing major bills like healthcare reform, credit card reform, a fair-pay act and Wall Street reform, Schumer said voters are frustrated and don’t feel the effects of the legislation.

“It’s the world we’re in. It’s a much more negative, critical world, and people are sour now,” he said. “The thing they’re most sour about is the future, not the present. In other words, if people were sure that things would be better five years from now, they’d be less sour.

“Given that, I think people are more negative right now across the board — the right wing is more negative, the left wing is more negative, the center is more negative. That’s how it is.”

Jobs and an improving economy are a major campaign issue for the Democrats. The White House has joined in on the effort, emphasizing a “recovery summer” agenda designed to reassure voters about the economy.

That effort may not be paying off, however. A NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll out Thursday found that 60 percent of those polled believe Congress is either below average or among the worst in history, which is an all-time high. Plus, 64 percent think the economy hasn’t hit rock bottom yet.
