Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Vulnerable Democrats must ‘run their own race’
The Washington Times ^ | April 20, 2014 | Valerie Richardson

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Democrat, brushed off concerns Sunday over vulnerable Senate Democrats running against the Obama administration, saying that they “have to run their own race.”

“What’s the case is that each of these candidates have to run their own race,” Ms. Wasserman Schultz said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “They have to talk about and focus on the issues that are important to their constituents.”

By refusing to upbraid the candidates, at least publicly, Ms. Wasserman Schultz, who serves as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, appeared to be giving leeway to Democrats in tight races to disagree publicly with President Obama on hot-button issues.

This is light-years away from her inane mutterings but a month ago.

Then she was insisting Dims would run on Obamacare nationwide, proudly. And win.

By all means, tell the voters how Obama couldn't count on you democrats to rubber stamp every single one of his Maoist initiatives.

That goes for candidates from the GOPe too.

One month ago and two months ago, DWS was bursting at the seams with enthusiasm at the electoral success she knew would happen from 0care, and predicting Michelle Malkin would eat her words for predicting DemoDisaster.

I’m not entirely convinced either way, I no longer believe elections in the US have any more integrity than those in say, Bulgaria.

So,on OsamaObamaCare (for example) they're supposed to say "I voted *for* ObamaCare before I voted against it".

Good luck with *that* strategy,sweetcheeks.

Bulgaria? I'm starting to think more along the lines of Botswana.

Say what you must about Obastardcare in order to win, but be sure and be back on the plantation when the gavel comes down in January.

This is a HUGE DEAL for us. It says, CLEARLY, that Obamacare is POISON to Democrats running this year and making the president look like an idiot loser is ok. This type of shift is not done lightly.

...but yes, they are Democrats and they WILL answer to Pelosi if they still manage to win.

The DIMs/LIBs own what they have brazenly done to Free America. They wipe their collective rear ends with the Rule of Law, Honesty, Integrity and the Constitution. They are fortunate we live in relatively “civilized” times. They despise anyone who values Law, Honesty, Integrity and the Constitution.

Silly you. Can't you see that the truth is always changing and evolving. That was then, this is now. A month ago Debbie spoke the truth, but the truth became inconvenient for her purposes. So the truth changed to match her needs.

Conservatives think there is only one truth. They even think the Constitution has only one meaning. Perhaps that is why many conservatives struggle to understand global climate change.

Just one problem Debbie, everyone of your fellow travelers voted for Øbøzøcare. NO ONE will be able to hide from it.
