Debbie Wasserman Schultz

was just on MSNBC disparaging NARAL for endorsing Obama. Why do this when she knows they both share the same 100% record on pro-choice? She claims the women in congress feel "abandoned." What about all of the women voting for Obama, like myself, who believe in pro-choice?

Cackle in the ears....

(SORRY, TOO EASY! :shrug:)

or did CNN Clinton news network ask?

I saw her as the next Obama.

:(
rocknation

doubtful.

they're rarely corrected these days, especially by people like Nora O. The only people who correct them are shamefully C.M. of all people and K.O.

Her main argument is they should support Hillary because she's a girl, like us. That's an insane reason to support or not support someone. Debbie isn't anything but trying to further the divisions we're already experiencing. More of the "Hillary or nobody for President" garbage.

reproductive rights advocates. get a grip

she threw that in there as an aside, while leaving out the fact that Obama's record is 100% as well. She is just leading the way for the Hillary or nobody crowd. I have a grip. I'm voting for the Democrat. Your nasty response speaks to YOUR character, not mine.

G'day. :)

out posters. too bad for you.

have a good day

:eyes: After all, everyone knows males should just STFU regarding abortion.

you would think they would applaud his efforts especially because he IS a male when their records are identical. Women like her make women seem irrational when they advocate voting for Hillary just because she's the female in the race and it's so embarrassing.

"Women in congress feel abandoned..." I bet she hasn't even consulted with any of them to find out how they feel, just presumes to speak for everyone.

The notion that I, as a "white male," am somehow obliged to adhere to some specious "white male agenda" is inferred by the stance that females 'must' vote for females and blacks 'must' vote for blacks and so on. I reject the notion. Likewise, I reject the notion that I'm somehow not 'welcome' as an equal in my support for a black or a female. This is exactly the kind of divisiveness that I believe Obama is decrying ... hopefully with sincerity. It's NOT the adversarial politics of right (privilege) vs. left (people) that I hear him ignoring, in that the 'right' is all about divisions ... the age-old "divide and conquer" strategy of colonialists and wealthy plutocrats. I'm a liberal because I DON'T support privilege ... not the privilege of wealth and not the privilege of straights and not the privilege of males and not the privilege of Christians and not the privilege of whites. None. Not even in alliances.

it embarrasses me when another female implies I should support Hillary because I'm a white female. It reinforces the claims that women are emotional and less intelligent, and I hate what that implies. I can be emotional, but usually my brain trumps my heart, and to suggest I should vote for the person "most like me" instead of on my principles, asks me to ignore my own thoughts for someone else's political agenda. No thanks to that. I don't like being bullied by men, and I damned sure don't like being bullied by women, especially with some of the comments now being hurled at Obama endorsers like NARAL. Pretty petty and the people posting those comments really have no idea how they're hurting their own cause and painting women as irrational and jaded against men, reenforcing the enemy's slur of femi-nazi. Hope they're really proud of themselves.

And I agree about the divisiveness. He called attention to the Republican tactics of using wedge issues to define our elections and now fellow Democrats are using the same tactics. I really can't believe it's happening. I thought we were better than they are, I thought our ideas were better. I guess maybe the things they say about the Democratic party as a whole, has a grain of truth to it. *sigh*

she's only on target about florida environmentally...

she has become a DINO in nearly all other matters...especially the races her nearby fellow dems are waging...

too much of a hill-shill for her own good...

right station, wrong train...

so her GOP buddies could stay in office once endorsing a republican over a dem in a race
shes over the shark pen as i write

The Diaz-Balcharts from Miami and Ross. All repukes, all endorsed by DWS rather than Dem challengers. She is quite the disapointment, and I no longer take her shrilling seriously.

Yes, she can't attack the endorsement on issues, so she has to go to the "they owe it to Hillary" argument.

I've lost all respect for Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She is a transparent whiner. She should be ashamed of herself.

:thumbsdown:

Nobody really benefitted from this.

and prepares to fight back THEY WHINE "don't hurt us because we're girls."

HRC and her surrogates are, IMO, the worst kind of low-life GUTTER fighters. Don't show an ounce of sympathy lest she STRIKE OUT when we are at our weakest.

It's just VILE. = There's no other description of such "Mercenary Type Perspective."

Except Obama has a 100 percent rating. Fuck her.

running against her Republican "friends" in Florida. What a piece of work.

Up to now, she was a party fav, then she rogue and joined forces with Nelson. What was her motivation?

Bank on it! ;)

given that I believe they probably chose correctly.

Once an appearance is fine but she makes me nuts using that phrase over and over.

So yeah, I change the channel when I see her now. But I did note that her sparkle is gone. She looked defeated last night on CNN with King.

what with all the campaigning for Florida Republicans that she does.

I hope she gets hit by a fucking car.

against weakened Republicans in FL because the Republicans are her friends!

:crazy:

doesnt help dems win against republicans is even on wikipedia


Campaign 2008
Wasserman Schultz announced her support of Hillary Clinton for President in the 2008 election, and in June of 2007 was named one of Clinton's national campaign co-chairs.

Wasserman Schultz was also named a co-chair of the Democratic Party's Red to Blue congressional campaign group.<10> Controversy arose in March 2008 when she announced that she would be unable to campaign against South Florida Republican representatives Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen because of her good friendship with them.<11>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_Wasserman_Schultz

she has sold us out and you continue to defend her

I am unfamiliar with such things. They appear to be a presentation of actual actions and events which support your position. They frighten and confuse me. :sarcasm:

:scared: make them go away!

I didn't read the article, I couldn't care less what Debbie does in Florida, I have my own state's agenda to worry about. I was making fun of the fact that facts are often ignored around here, that was the ONLY comment I addressed. Further, I know enough about Debbie from her comments on t.v. for the past few weeks. SHE shows her character better than any editorial, article, or wikipedia entry. I have sat and watched her twist facts about the vote in Florida and just outright LIE. So my mind's pretty much made up about her, whatever she does or doesn't do in her district is irrelevant to me, but she's meddling in our national politics with her lies and that does affect me.

this is still America, and Hillary is her candidate. That is her right. That said, I am of the opinion she should build Hillary up because Hillary DOES have a record to be proud of, but it gets drowned out by the gender identity issue. And many women do not feel abandonded by NARAL, and I find it hard to believe all women in Congress do, since some of them are Obama supporters. It's unfair of her to say that, when she's only talking about the half of women who support Hillary.

Another point is her statements about the MI/FL debacle. If she would speak out and advocate for MI/FL admitting everything that was said and done regarding that situation, including the mistakes made, would be one thing, but when she distorts what actually transpired, she loses credibility. She should be making a case for it because she believes it's the right thing to do, despite mistakes that were made. It would garner a lot more sympathy and reasoned debate, which would've fostered a faster, fairer solution. Now as it is, we have to wait until May 31st to probably arrive at the same conclusion that all parties could've sat down and come to on their own without the bitterness and frustration on all sides. I would feel the same way if she were an Obama surrogate, and speaking on his behalf.

:rofl:

........First off, I have not endorsed any of the three incumbents in South Florida, nor will I, and I do not support their re-election campaign. I am supportive of the Democratic candidates who are running against them. I have never said otherwise.

Second, I have a national role as one of three co-chairs of Red to Blue Program. All candidates, from Florida to Alaska, have criteria that have to be met to get on this targeted list. Let me guarantee that if they fulfill those criteria, these three Democratic Candidates will be part of our Red to Blue Program…period, end of story. We have three co-chairs in order to be able to spread the workload among us. It makes much more sense to have someone from outside of one's own region to be able to make the hits necessary.

read the miami herald she endorsed the republican sheriff candidate
i said she didnt help dems running against her republican friends and refrenced it with the wiki

Controversy arose in March 2008 when she announced that she would be unable to campaign against South Florida Republican representatives Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen because of her good friendship with them

whats not clear here?all 3 are republicans and a popular dem from a nearby district refuses to campaign for her party members in that race

i dont claim she endorsed these 3
but to not support the dems isnt much different from an endorsement
so you are the liar here on every count

is dangled in front of them. Unfortunately, she bet on the wrong horse and will be speaking to an empty house chamber at night for years to come.

And best ignored.

Now I can't stand her.

automatically vote for Hillary.

She simply beat "the boys" at their own game.

Truly EFFECTIVE LEADERS (even if they hold abhorrent perspectives and values) are NOT duplicitous. Every politician has to change or soften certain positions, but HRC is almost "bi-polar" in her actions during this horrific campaign.

I don't trust her because she is NOT consistent.

We never KNOW for sure which "Hillary Clinton" we will see from day to day. :scared:

Her comment alone was sexist.

just sound pathetic trying to convince themselves that she can still win as long as they change the rules that BOTH SIDES AGREED ON now. She was on Larry King last night hosted by someone else

Do we really need to know anything else about this idiot?

she's been an active impediment to a program promoting rising Dem candidates in her state.
