Over the weekend, DavidNYC wrote a very important post at DailyKos and he's followed up with another today about two powerful Florida Democrats, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Rep. Kendrick Meek, who are refusing to support three strong Democratic candidates for Congress in South Florida. Even worse, Wasserman-Schultz has a key position at the DCCC. This is beyond appalling. These two Florida Democratic members of Congress are actually helping to re-elect three Republicans.
Both Wasserman Schultz and Meek are also strong supporters of Senator Clinton -- and both have campaigned relentlessly for her, making frequent appearances on cable shows. In fact, Wasserman-Schultz led the calls for Samantha Powers to resign:
Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) said Obama had set a tone for this campaign and had talked about the politics of hope throughout, so it should not degenerate into "name calling," which she said was the result of frustration and anger from his losses Tuesday. She called it "below the belt" and "out of bounds."Actually, Congresswoman, supporting Republicans should be "below the belt" and "out of bounds."
No wonder we don't win Florida in the general election. Key Democratic congressional leaders help Republicans. That has to stop.
