My opponent Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been eating her breakfast at the offices of the Glover Park Group, a federally registered lobbying firm.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz ... is a vile human ... I can’t say more than that!
The Democratic-leaning advocacy firm the Glover Park Group, former home to Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson, signed a $40,000 per month contract with the government of Colombia in April of 2007 to promote the very agreement that Clinton now rails against on the presidential campaign trail. ...
Several other Glover Park employees have deep connections with the Clintons, including founding partner Joe Lockhart, who served as the White House press secretary under President Bill Clinton, and Joel Johnson, who was a senior communications adviser in the Clinton White House.”
Jason Miner, VP at Glover Park. He is a former research director for the Democratic National Committee and was a senior member of the Kerry/Edwards rapid response team in 2004. Gore’s chief strategist for his 2000 presidential bid, Carter Eskew, is a founding partner of GPG.”
In 2006, the Glover Park Group distributed a memo to Democratic congresspeople and DC media claiming that support for the Medicare prescription drug program was solid.
Johnson and Glover Park neglected to mention that the work was funded by drug industry associations
The New York Times reported, “The Glover Park Group has been at the center of some of the biggest policy debates in New York City in recent years. Partners from the firm have been involved in helping organize campaigns against two projects favored by Michael R. Bloomberg, the city’s Republican mayor: revamping the city charter and building a stadium for the New York Jets on the West Side of Manhattan.”

When I read stuff like that I feel so stupid.
If I had no principles and hated America I could be rich beyond the wildest dreams of avarice.
Exactly!
No morals, no problem making millions upon millions.
What does the district look like?
What does the district look like?”
I don’t know, but as a guess, they probably want to blend in with their expensive designer clothes.
Debbie Whatsherface-Shitferbrains won't even see it coming. She has surrounded herself with the Yes Men from the Broward County Manischewitz Mafia and the usual mob of corrupt contacts with local government. Let's smack the bad hair right off of her face.
Mostly old jews, retired new yorkers, and a bunch of us pissed off, overtaxed, tired of the local corruption conservative types. She hasn’t faced an opponent in years and is ripe for her comeuppence.
You need to replace her because her hair looks like a golden, bushy weed. That's reason enough, then the fact she can't keep her yap shut. Is she married? Poor guy, what s nightmare.
This is one arrogant b—ch I would love to see get removed.
Look up “yenta” in the Yiddish dictionary. Wasserman-Schulz’s picture will be there.
I just contributed $50 and will follow Karen’s progress - anything to get that Jeri Curl crook, Wasserman-Schultz out of office.
Thanks for posting.
Brian is definitely a great candidate - he also has the site www.firedebbiewassermanschultz.com lol
Thanks for the heads up. I think I am falling off her bandwagon—she doesn’t seem to be very interested in grassroots folk.
Microsoft, too.
