In reply to the discussion: Schumer Plants His Contemptible Lies To Assassinate Alan Grayson's Good Name [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)2. Btw, this isn't the first time Schumer has has a hand in going after a progressive candidate, in
order to get one of his Wall St stooges elected.
So, THIS is the answer to a question I have been asking for a long time regarding WHO is picking the candidates we are being presented with?
But power in Congress is in the hands of Wall Street-owned shills like Chuck Schumer and Steve Israel who will never take the side of their own constituents over the interests of the big Wall Street banksters.
That helps explain why Schumer hand-picks Wall Street-owned hacks like Patrick Murphy (FL) and Ted Strickland (OH) to run for Senate seats and why Israel is always finding opportunistic Republicans to "switch" parties and run as though they were Democrats (the way Murphy did and they way Michael Derrick is trying to do in New York's North Country). Schumer and Israel are responsible for bringing in cash from the crooked banksters, and the crooked banksters are freaking out over Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown and Bernie Sanders and warning the Beltway power brokers that they're going to cut the DSCC and DCCC off.

I was told that the people chose Hillary eg.
I KNOW the people chose Bernie Sanders, we asked him to run.
It is so true that Schumer will take the side of Wall St Banksters over his constituents any time such a choice arises.
