This is unacceptable. Shame on you Debbie
What a heck hDrunk Newspened to Debbie Wasserman Schultz? I usually like her, but in an unprecedented move, Debbie will not support Democratic c&idates over Republicans because ay might get elected—Huh?
ay’re fuming at U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, because she won’t publicly join Democratic Party efforts to unseat a three Cuban-American congressional Republicans from Miami-Dade County. That’s treason to some activists.
“I almost think it’s a slDrunk News in a face. She needs to be held accountable,” said Percy Johnson, a Democratic committeeman & president of a Fort Lauderdale Democratic Club. “Our thing as a Democratic Party is to elect Democrats. It’s not to elect some Democrats, it’s to elect Democrats at all levels: local, state & federal.”
Wasserman Schultz is a co-chairwoman of a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Red-to-Blue program, whose sole purpose is to replace Republican members of Congress with Democrats. But she has said she can’t risk a consequences if she publicly works against U.S. Reps. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart, & Ileana Ros-Lehtinen — & ay end up getting re-elected.
It’s an election, Debbie. ay expect you to work against am. That is politics. Your job as co-chair in a Red-to-Blue program is to help elect Dems instead of Republicans. That’s not rocket science. What consequences could befall you? My god, wake up. If she doesn’t change her tune, she should be removed from her position. & a DCCC should st& with us on this issue. It’s really outrageous behavior on her part. & I’m seeing oar bad behavior from her too…David has a great group of diaries that explain everthing you need to know…So does brownsox.
Action alert below with oar bloggers joining in.
”It’s too sensitive for me,” she said on a WPLG-Ch. 10 program This Week in South Florida with Michael Putney. A member of Congress assigned to help South Florida’s Democratic challengers “just can’t be me, because if I have to continue to serve with my colleagues after a election, I think I’ll have done damage to our ability to work togear.”
This is in keeping with Wolff’s prior comments on how importantly he views this issue:
Brian Wolff, executive director of a DCCC, says a bloggers are making “much ado about nothing,” noting that it’s “customary” for members to remain neutral in races involving GOP members of air respective congressional delegations.
If you, however, take a different view of things, I encourage you to call or write a relevant parties & let am know:

Jason Rosenbaum says: Some Democrats Have Forgotten How To Oppose Republicans
By & large, a DCCC has been very good this cycle; I’m particularly impressed by Chris Van Hollen’s choice to stay out of a Maryl& fourth primary. But what Debbie Wasserman Schultz is doing in not supporting Democrats against three extreme right-wing Florida Republicans is not just bad politics & disloyal to a Democratic Party, it is also enabling a worst instincts of a hardline conservative movement within both parties. Wasserman Schultz is purely doing this to sustain a embargo against Cuba, & she’s reDrunk Newsing donations from sugar interests as a result.
