Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Main Focus: Beating Allen West?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

RED BROWARD regulars will remember the 2010 elections when Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out of Touch) spent most of her time campaigning against Congressman Allen West (R-Plantation). It seemed as though Debbie logged more time in West Palm Beach than Weston.

Debbie has not stopped targeting Mr. West.  Her DCCC starting attacking West back in February. Now that she runs the DNC the attacks have not let up. Part of the Democrat game plan is to paint political newbie Patrick Murphy (D-CPA) as a “centrist” or “moderate”. This would explain the contrived political stunts at every Allen West town hall.

This week, the Murphy campaign celebrated the news it has raised $1.1 million dollars since March. Must be a grassroots groundswell, right? Perhaps, little old ladies and young children are emptying their piggy banks at Murphy HQ? Nope.

In a press release, the Murphy heaps praise on Democrat insiders:

Murphy’s campaign has showed significant momentum and this quarter secured support from key Democratic donors such as former DNC Finance Co-Chair Bob Crowe, Richard Swann, Stephen Bittel, Michael and Judy Adler, Alan Kluger, Mitchell Berger, and Chris Findlater.

Hmmm, the name Stephen Bittel sure rings a bell.  Oh yeah, that’s right; from yesterday’s POLITICO story on Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s PAC (DEMOCRATS WIN SEATS PAC).

And though Wasserman Schultz stepped down as chairwoman of the PAC earlier this year, some ties remain. Stephen Bittel, a longtime Democratic supporter, who spoke on behalf of Wasserman Schultz’s candidacy to lead the DNC, has taken over as chairman. Her father, Lawrence Wasserman, is still listed as the group’s treasurer on Federal Election Commission reports. And the political action committee continues to use her initials — DWS — to raise money.

Is DWS PAC openly supporting Murphy? Are other Florida Democrats getting this help? How “moderate” is Patrick Murphy if he has TEAM DEBBIE backing him?

Doesn’t FL Congressional District 20 need and deserve Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s full attention? Why doesn’t she  focus on jobs for south Florida? What doesn’t she explain her support for the huge CCA private prison in Southwest Ranches? Does the DNC and White House  know about her Ahab-esque desire to unseat Congressman Allen West?

Why doesn’t somebody ask her?
