We Stand With Debbie Wasserman-Schultz!

I never ever thought I'd start a thread with that title...the congresswoman has been a Third Way Dem and way too biased in her view on the Israel/Palestine situation.

But she's being ballsy as hell(ovarysie as hell?) in working for congressional support for giving President Obama's Iran policy a chance and opposing the GOP/AIPAC/Netanyahu rush to war with Iran.

When someone shows guts, you've gotta have that person's back.

Given her district, Wasserman-Schultz could be facing a primary challenge from the Likudnik right for her stand on this issue.

This is a thread to give credit where credit is due.

Nice show of guts, Congresswoman.

Post below if, whatever you might feel about her on other issues, you respect and support Debbie Wasserman-Schultz for the stand she's taken her...a stand that AIPAC is now demonizing and delegitimizing her for.

I am kinda amazed she is taking a stand on this like she is. But then Obama can be quite influential, I imagine. It sure can't hurt to stand with Barack.
