“Repeat After Me: “Just Say No To the GOP””

Does this admonition include Democratic politicians who state that Ronald Reagan was a better President than Bill Clinton, or that the Republicans had better “ideas” than the Democrats? ;-)

Better late than never … you all may be interested to read the interview I did with Rep. Wasserman Schultz last week. This was the interview in which she implored me to “please help get [the bloggers] off [her] back,” which got picked up at Daily Kos, WaPo, and TPM, among others.

Anyway, here’s the original source. Enjoy.

(Jane, I’m looking forward to meeting you at Eschacon. I’ll be the guy emceeing the Saturday night festivities. :) )

Not wanting to offend “Cuban” voters in Florida may be a political reality; it’s not one Wasserman Shultz didn’t know was a challenge when she lobbied for her leadership position. If she wants a free ride, she should buy a bus pass.

There’s a quid pro quo going on with these Cubans. Find the money… find the deal…find the votes… Look for votes where she votes with the Cubans.

What part of the word “election” does Ms. Wasserman Shultz not understand? She was not elected to membership in her PTA, the local United Way chapter, or a board of directors for a Fortune 500 company. She is a Democratic member of Congress, elected to defend progressive interests during the most partisan time in American history since Reconstruction. Moreover, she has sought and won a position of leadership in aggressively selling those priorities to her home state and the country at large via electing Democratic challengers to traditionally Republican districts.

What would she do if she were on the Texas Schools Commission or the Dover, Pennsylvania, School Board and debating whether to impose the teaching of creationism as part of the science curriculum? What role would her collegial loyalty play if she were chair of a military tribunal on Guantanamo Bay?

Her job is to defend and advocate progressive priorities. If she likes her GOP colleagues, persuade them to cross the floor to the Democratic side. If she doesn’t like the Democratic challengers for their seats, she had an opportunity to push for other candidates. This is not about “playing dirt”. It is not about engaging in ruthless personal attacks about their policies or their personal sex lives. It is about preferring Democratic priorities to demonstrably failed Republican ones.

Her continued resistance to doing her job means she is unqualified to do her job. Remove her. What part of that does her leadership not understand. Ms. Wasserman Shultz should have until noon to start doing her job or find another one. We already have CongressCritters who put fealty to the president and party loyalty above the national interest: they’re called Republicans.

Citizen TomR:

Thanx for the link to Raw Story…I think we’re gettin’ a real good picture of what the “Lieberman Syndrome” looks like in a dress.

Like I said earlier, this smells and it doesn’t get any better when the wind shifts.

KEEP THE FAITH AND WATCH THE BEDFELLOWS!!
