Debbie Wassermann Schultz at it again!

[pinebox]

This time against her opponent Tim Canova.
She needs to go. NOW.
I'm sick of her & her political bullshit and cronyism.

I messaged Tim letting him know I cross posted here on DU. He's a nice and genuine guy and I hope he chimes in here. It would be most excellent to have him here on DU!

This is unfair and undemocratic
https://goo.gl/6OeSFB
Last week, I called the Florida Democratic Party to request access to the voter file database and software known as VAN that is routinely used by Democratic candidates across the country.

I was told that our campaign would be denied access to this database because I am running against an incumbent Democrat, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. I was also told that any Democratic candidate running against an incumbent Democrat would be denied access — even a lifelong progressive challenging an out-of-touch incumbent.

This is unfair and undemocratic. My opponent already has untold advantages against an insurgent progressive campaign like ours. We are refusing to take corporate money, while she has taken millions of dollars from Wall Street bankers, payday lenders, private prison companies, and other corporate special interests. How much more of an advantage does Wasserman Schultz need to silence the voices of grassroots voters in our district?

This is nothing less than an entrenched establishment throwing up roadblocks against our political revolution. We’ve seen my opponent do this against Bernie’s presidential campaign and other progressive challengers. As head of the DNC, Wasserman Schultz has pushed strategies that suppress voter turnout, all to protect incumbents and establishment politicians. She has routinely defended the party’s use of Superdelegates to block the will of Democratic voters in state after state.
All of this has made our party weaker and more vulnerable against Republicans in general elections, which is so painfully obvious with the Democratic Party’s losses in the midterm elections in the past six years — 13 Senate seats and 69 House seats, the biggest loss of congressional Democrats in modern political history.

Bernie Sanders had to go so far as to sue Wasserman Schultz’s DNC in December to regain access to his own party’s voter database. As we continue to compile alternative voter databases from other sources, rest assured that we will not allow the establishment to weaken our campaign. We will overcome any obstacles and we will fight back.
In solidarity,
Tim Canova

1. ......

[Ferd Berfel]

48. Zero Integrity

Why would anyone vote for someone that supports 300% Loan Sharks? Insane!

[Jopin Klobe]

62. Zero ... Zilch ...

... Bupkis ...

[daleanime]

65. Is it possible....

to have negative integrity?

[Ferd Berfel]

76. Integrity I.O.U's ?

she's been taking out integrity loans. We should be charging her 300% interest like her Loan Shark buddies

[anothergreenbus]

94. That's what Hillary uses.

DW-S dosen't even bother because hey f-you Progressives.

[lsewpershad]

78. Best antidote

get rid of her at the voting booth.... now we have no excuse.

[Ferd Berfel]

80. yep Vote for TC

[musiclawyer]

104. The pressure should be placed on Obama

He appointed her. He can dismiss her. All the DNC shit is on Obama's legacy.

[Ferd Berfel]

112. Doubt he would until after Nov,

Then it's someone elses problem anyway

It would show some guts and integrity if he did, but..........

[DonCoquixote]

126. oh yeah, not she would paint him as anti woman and anti semite

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/feb/23/debbie-wasserman-schultz-circa-2013-was-set-to-pai/

oops, oh yes, she planned to do exactly that, which of course would have crippled Obama.

Nice try.

[Plucketeer]

130. Who would want

to see THAT face anywhere NEAR a seat of public office?

[Betty Karlson]

2. Well, that is just as much of an admission as she is likely to make of trying the same stunt with

Sanders, back before Iowa.

DINO-Debbie is corrupt and just as much a piece of untrustworthy, voter-alienating Third Way arrogance as Clinton is. No wonder she campaigns for Clinton.

[mariawr]

27. Sanders should be compliing a database for his own use and for other progressive candidates.

[Betty Karlson]

82. Wel yes and no:

Under the circumstances he should.

But speaking in general, DWS should just do her f****ing job, instead of showing bias at every turn.

[UglyGreed]

3. Wonder why?????

[jillan]

4. Unfair and Undemocratic seems to be DWS motto.

[PatrynXX]

22. do like that term

need to use it more. using actual people running. thereby not look like we are being anti democrat .... X_X

[Omaha Steve]

5. Donate to DU for Tim here

Democratic Underground for Tim Canova FL-23: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/du4timcanova

[SoapBox]

38. Please, Please, Please give Tim a few bucks!

Thank you for the link OS.

That #$#%#& DWS has got to be gone!

Data ONLY for Incumbents? WTF!

[Omaha Steve]

56. DU for Tim has taken in $170 since this post and mine in GD went up this AM

And one recurring contribution was set up. Total pledged donations $1,375.00.


Live list here: https://secure.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/42087

[Hiraeth]

68. Please make this an OP for more exposure. Thanks!

[Omaha Steve]

70. This in GD needs a kick

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027682233

[Hiraeth]

75. done

thanks

[jwirr]

53. Just donated $5. IMO it is too bad we can't find some way

to shut down the phone/internet at the DNC until she leaves. But I suppose that is illegal?

[greiner3]

134. I don't know anyone in Anonymous either.

[jwirr]

135. I did know a young man in Anonymous but he is no longer

involved. But you are right they could probably do it.

[Duval]

66. Have done that and will do that again!

[MissDeeds]

99. Thanks Omaha Steve

I just saw this and sent Tim Canova a donation and will support his run with periodic contributions. DWS is toxic to the party and must be defeated.

[panader0]

6. Sue her Tim! Really getting to like this guy.

[TheDormouse]

7. What if the incumbent is doing a shtty job & the challenger is a lifelong loyal Dem?

Their policies are really f'd up.
I really wish I was in DWS's district so I could vote against her!

[Freddie Stubbs]

9. He's not a "lifelong loyal Dem"

He's been a Democrat for less than a year.

[pinebox]

11. And so what?

You should respectful seeing as how I invited Tim here to chime in.
Just a FYI.
Because he has been a Dem for a short time doesn't make his opinion any less or more valuable than your own.

[nxylas]

33. It's not his turn

You don't get to be a member of the nomenklatura through something as decadent as getting people to vote for you in an election. It is a reward for loyal service to the Party. Now please join our massed choir as they sing of the glories of traktor produktion.

[SusanCalvin]

41. .

[TubbersUK]

58. ..

[JonLeibowitz]

84. ....

DUzy!!!!

[SoapBox]

47. Exactly!

So we should only vote for big money, big power Entrenched DINO's that don't give a fucking shit about us...and the only reason to vote for them is that so-called lifelong (D)?

There is that damned "loyalty" thing again...BLIND loyalty, no matter how rotten or crooked that so-called Democrat is?

Makes my blood BOIL when I hear crap like that.

[JTFrog]

50. Politicians and other public officials are subject to criticism here regardless of your invitation.

And there is absolutely nothing disrespectful about the post you replied to.

[TheDormouse]

13. My question is about the general policy nt

[djean111]

23. Patrick Murphy has been a Democrat since 2012. Only changed in order to run against

another Republican, no epiphany, just ambition and convenience. Voted yes to create the Benghazi panel, voted with and votes with the GOP quite a lot.

DWS and Hillary LOVE him - because he is a DINO. And that's the difference.
Canova is more of a Democrat than DWS has ever been - and, you know, she has openly supported and fund-raised for GOP cronies running against actual Democrats, down here. So much for "loyal Democrat" bullshit.

[fbc]

36. excellent post.

[SusanCalvin]

44. There ya go. nt

[Freddie Stubbs]

74. There were no other Democrats running for that seat in 2012.

He ran and took out the best-funded Republican congressman in the country. And he did it in district where there are more Republicans than Democrats.

[djean111]

83. And he is still, IMO - a Republican.

Did he revert back to being a Republican when he won? Nope. But he still voted/votes with the GOP, belongs to the Third Way-advised New Democrat Coalition - and - as you have stated - he only changed his registration to Democrat in order to run against a Republican. No change of view, just convenience and ambition.

[Freddie Stubbs]

97. He has voted with the Democratic Party more than 80% of the time

https://ballotpedia.org/Patrick_Murphy_(Florida)#Lifetime_voting_record

[djean111]

102. Not at first he didn't. And I do believe part of Pelosi's job is to orchestrate votes

so that some can vote yes or no on stuff without endangering what the party really wants, so they can look better to their constituents. That really is part of her job.

He has cleaned up his act/record considerably, with an eye to being a senator. At first, he was talking about cutting Social Security somehow, but that got scrubbed. New Democrat Coalition, for me, are Third Way-advised DINOs. I don't want two of them, Nelson is a DINO. IMO etc.

My bottom line - DINO due to Third-Way advised New Democrat Coalition. Will be voting for Grayson.

[Freddie Stubbs]

144. "Not at first he didn't." Can you back that up with any real data?

[djean111]

148. Mr. Stubbs, I will do some research, but here is the thing - Murphy turned Democrat for his own

ambitions. If he had been allowed to primary Allen West as a Republican, he would have done so. He is quite comfy in the DWS/Clinton Third Way circle, and I will never vote for him.

Here is a clip from when Murphy first joined Congress -

Murphy really really wanted "structural changes" to social security and medicare. He is a DINO. He sounds better now, because, as he says, voters are paying attention. Near the end of the interview, the reporters gets him to say he will break ranks with the Democrats.

[JDPriestly]

59. We are supposed to be the big-tent party.

What has happened to us. Who decides who is and who is not a Democrat?

Can you imagine a church that does not welcome converts?

If he is running as a Democrat, he is a Democrat.

We cannot have change in our society unless we welcome change in our politics and in our political parties.

This rule of the Florida Democratic Party is deeply conservative nad has no place in the Democratic Party. Let Tim win or lose on an equal playing ground with DWS.

What?

Is she such a bad candidate that she cannot face a challenger who has the same voter database as she does?

What?

Are we now the party of the status quo and not the part of progress and new ideas and new candidates?

Uggggggh!

[bvar22]

109. The Democratic Party IS a Big Tent,

but there is NO ROOM for those who advance the agenda of The Rich
at the expense of the Working Class and The Poor!

That is as dumb as letting Management sit in and have a vote at Union Meetings,
and even dumber to let Management become Officers and other positions of power in a LABOR Union.

[JDPriestly]

110. I stand corrected. Thanks.

[rhett o rick]

90. What an ironic thing to say. Some say that having a (D) behind the name is all that matters.

Actually upholding Democratic principles (like not betraying your Party and helping the Republicons ala Bush/Cheney) doesn't seem to matter. Now we are saying that we judge how good a Democrat is by their length of time as a Democrat. I bet you think highly of Lieberman. He was a Democrat a long time.

[Ivan Kaputski]

128. My parrents signed me up when I was born.

[Freddie Stubbs]

8. Another Johnny-come-lately complaining about the rules of the party he just joined

He's been a registered Democrat for less than a year and already he can't hack it. I hope that he enjoys his stay.

[pinebox]

10. Oh please! Go support your payday lender loan candidate.

DWS is awful.

[marew]

16. Absolutely!

Google "wasserman schultz corruption" and it goes on for pages! Sleazy as they get!

[arcane1]

17. Kim Davis was a Dem until just recently. I guess she would get your vote too?

She was a life-long Dem who hated equal rights for gay people. But hey, as long as she had that "D" next to her name, she's better than any other candidate. Right?

[marew]

21. Excellent point!

We have a number of "not deep thinkers" here. It would be comical if it wasn't, well, you know!

[arcane1]

28. "Party Over Principle" is a bankrupt philosophy, but a hard one to change, it seems n/t

[SoapBox]

51. Ab-so-fricking-lutely!

[coyote]

92. They are good Germans

[djean111]

29. Guess you never considered the ISSUES for a candidate, just the letter, right?

Actually, that is so obvious, I didn't need to ask. Sorry!
Hey, maybe I will get a chance to vote for the REPUBLICAN buddies that Debbie openly supports down here!

[TheDormouse]

60. Exactly! nt

[marew]

18. And that matters because?

This is classic Wasserman Schultz!

[Cali_Democrat]

25. +1000

[stupidicus]

26. yes, 3rdway infiltrators/traitors to the new deal love the time stamp

that they selectively apply ONLY to those that oppose the Clinton machine.

Now if it happens to be a former repub turned dem that plays the 3rdway game -- not so much -- even if both cases are in the very same state.

[angrychair]

40. So, how long??

How long do they have to be a Democrat before they are good enough? 5 years? 7 years? 10 years? Are only people that have been a Democrat their entire life good enough?
If so, than HRC, a former Republican, would not meet your standards. Not just a Republican but a Republican that was a Congressional staffer and went to the RNC National Convention in 1968 to help elect a Republican president.

[Major Nikon]

81. He was an aide to Tsongas back in the 80's

The "Johnny-come-lately" label is just silly.

[Warren DeMontague]

117. The fact that anyone here is defending DWS given her record

Speaks volumes about their character.

[Major Nikon]

120. True, but I suspect DWS would be on the short list for HRC's VP candidates

Short of her good buddy, Lloyd Blankfein nobody else has done more to get her to where she is.

[Warren DeMontague]

122. Oh please barf no

I think Hillary's political instincts are bad, but they're not THAT bad. I suspect Julian Castro is a fairly done deal, because he checks off several important demographic boxes, not the least of which being relative youth.

[SusanCalvin]

49. Well, I'm a lifelong Democrat,

and I say let him access the VAN.

I didn't leave my party, my party left me.

[Duval]

71. That is how I feel!

[rhett o rick]

89. Not surprised that you'd chose PayDay lenders over their victims. Goes along with supporting

the bankers over those losing their homes. And I know, I know that Clinton isn't totally uncaring, she will give them a tax credit of $25 dollars (or cake).

[Warren DeMontague]

116. Would you like to defend DWS voting to send terminally ill medical marijuana users to prison?

You know she gleefully allied herself with Sheldon Adelson on that issue, dont you, Fred?



Go ahead, defend it. I will wait.

[LW1977]

118. I've been leaning more towards Hillary, because of right wing smears posted here against her

But DWS is a disgrace and needs to go!

[roody]

137. It makes more sense to vote for

the candidate that best represents you.

[Fuddnik]

131. There are no such fucking rules.

They denied us access a couple of years ago, AFTER we won a primary, and Debbie Disaster endorsed her Republican friend.

[Land of Enchantment]

12. Gonna kick him another

donation. He's a Good Guy. Taught at our UNM Law School in ABQ for a few years and was very active here politically.

[arcane1]

14. But she's a "Real Democrat" which means we must cheer her every move, right?

Come on, authoritarians, shows us why we should support this shit!

[pinebox]

15. Look at the replies above

[ChiciB1]

19. AND People Here Are STILL Doing Rah, Rah For Hillary. WAKE THE F--k UP! n/t

[marew]

31. +1! n/t

[Cobalt Violet]

64. she's probally paying them to do it.

I can't see how anyone could still support her with all the lies and gaffes and her conservative history.

[Duval]

72. +100

[oldandhappy]

20. I think she is a repub.

[Samantha]

42. She is a third-way politician -- same thing (eom)

[Cobalt Violet]

67. If it walks like a duck, swimms like a duck, and quacks like a duck..

It's a duck. I agree with you.

[GoneFishin]

24. She's despicable.

[Freddie Stubbs]

30. He seems to be confused. He's blaming the DNC for something that the FL Dem Party is doing.

His confusion is understandable, as Mr. Canova has been a Democrat for less than a year.

[pinebox]

32. Right because people who are new to the party are stupid Freddie?

I should alert on your post because shit like this is downright stupid.

[ieoeja]

63. He was a legislative aide to Paul Tsongas (D-Mass).

He has been a Democrat for a little bit longer than a year.

But he was out of state working in New Mexico then California. So he wouldn't have been registered and voting in his home state back then.

Sorry to burst your holier-than-thou schtick.



[font size=1 color=gray]Disclaimer: that last sentences was a lie. I quite enjoyed myself.[/font]

[Freddie Stubbs]

79. He was registered at "No Party Affiliation" until June of last year:

http://flvoters.com/by_number/1197/79048_timothy_a_canova.html

[noiretextatique]

113. So are many people

A lot of us vote for Democrats like Canova and Sanders vs Democrats like DWS and HRC.

[Freddie Stubbs]

146. And many people are not qualified to be the Democratic nominee for Congress

[pinebox]

153. You think DWS is qualified

while defending Pay Day Loan places and helping her Republican friends get elected?
Sorry bud but you're no Dem. You're a Dempublican.

[Freddie Stubbs]

155. The voters in her district seem to think so

She was elected to four terms to the Florida House of Representatives. What did the voters do then? They elected her serve in the Florida Senate where she served for four years. Wow, I'll bet the voters were really sick of her after that, right? Nope. The elected her to Congress and have reelected her five times. All of this happened in western Broward County where Democrats have an overwhelming majority. All of these Democrats must be fake Democrats since they keep reelecting Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz.

[Fuddnik]

133. A lot of us left for "No Party Affiliation" in protest a few years ago.

We'd never vote for a Republican, and most of us came back just to vote for Bernie.

[Freddie Stubbs]

147. Then perhaps he should be running as an NPA

The district is so overwealmingly Democratic that there is no chance of a Republican being elected there.

[Fuddnik]

132. You realize that the current FDP Chair worked for ChoicePoint during the 2000 purge, right?

And her husband was Lead Counsel for the Bush side of Bush v Gore?

Debbie Disaster and DINO Nelson pick birds of a feather.

One of the reasons Democrats can't win anything in this state. They support cronies, and that's it.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

34. Debbie? You can't just slam the door in their face.

[CorkySt.Clair]

35. Is that the guy who landed the plane on the Capitol grounds a while back?

[Freddie Stubbs]

39. No, that's Doug Hughes

Gyrocopter pilot who landed at Capitol hopes to return — as a Congressman

The Florida postal worker who landed a gyrocopter at the U.S. Capitol on April 15 to protest campaign finance laws is planning to run for Congress, his attorney said in a court filing Wednesday.

Douglas Hughes, 62, of Ruskin, Fla., is asking a court for permission to travel to campaign on curbing the influence of money in politics, a job that would include meeting voters, making speeches and soliciting endorsements, his lawyer said. Hughes’s bid might also test whether felons can run for Congress in Florida.

Hughes faces sentencing April 13 after pleading guilty to one felony count of flying without a license aboard his low-power gyrocopter from Gettysburg, Pa., to the District.

On Wednesday, Hughes asked U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the District to modify his pre-sentence confinement to lift a ban on travel outside Hillsborough County, where he lives, and allow him to travel throughout Florida.

[Warren DeMontague]

143. Awwww, is Debbie not getting the admiration you think she deserves?

It was nice of her to protect us from dangerous terminally ill grannies who want to ease their chemo nausea with pot brownies, by voting to send them to prison, wasn't it?

[casperthegm]

37. If DWS and these policies represent the Democratic party

then the party no longer represents me. I hope the voters in her district are aware of this and care enough to vote for Tim.

[floppyboo]

43. sue

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

45. And, they wonder why people are fed up with politics-as-usual.

[WillyT]

46. K & R !!!

[dana_b]

52. Donated a few dollars

between him and Bernie, I'm hitting my limit.

I would say that she should be ashamed but it appears that she has none. Go Tim!!

[Jack Rabbit]

54. Question for DWS . . .

Is it the policy of the DNC to deny access to any Democratic primary opponent of a Democratic incumbent or does that apply only if the incumbent Democrat is also the chair of the DNC?

As a follow up question, is this the policy of the DNC or just your personal policy

[ancianita]

55. Maybe Alan Grayson can send him his copy. Someone, if not Tim, should ask him to.

[Scalded Nun]

85. Excellent Suggestion!

Grayson is backing Bernie, so he is already on the DWS/DNC shit list.

[ancianita]

98. I asked him on one of his Facebook threads, so I hope it gets passed on to him.

[earthshine]

57. To really get rid of DWS, we must elect both Bernie Sanders and Tim Canova.

DWS is obviously bucking for a cabinet position in Hillary's administration and she'll get it if Hillary wins. Then her position in Congress won't matter.

Let us remember who appointed DWS to be chairperson of the Democratic Party. You cannot say she stinks but Obama smells clean.

Remember how people like to say Obama is playing three-dimensional chess? He appointed her to be the queen in this dirty and highly corrupt game.

He promised us a transparent administration. This is what we got ...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1016147152

[appalachiablue]

77. Got to go. From both jobs, and real soon.

[earthshine]

86. And these were the proverbial sacrificial pawns in his chess game. Thanks. nt

[marble falls]

149. That says it all.

[pinebox]

93. And there are other Bernie progressives running too!

[earthshine]

96. Bernie's coattails will be yuuuuuge!

Hillary will be able to provide the down-ticket with lots of money. And then, they will be bought and paid for — financially beholden to her, the third-way DLC, Wall Street, and the billionaires. Picture Debbie Wasserman Schultz jumping for joy.

Bernie will bring people to the polls based on enthusiasm. And the down-ticket will consist of freethinking, liberalized progressives.

Which do you prefer?

[pdsimdars]

61. How does anyone with INTEGRITY still belong to the Democratic Party?

[Hulk]

69. I've dropped my membership and any donation, not even $5, to the DNC until she is gone!

I'll have nothing to do with the DNC until she is history...ancient history! Shame on them for keeping this hack at the helm.

I hope she gets beat, badly, for her own congressional seat next November.

[NJCher]

73. What can we do?

In addition to donating money?

I want to see a visually embarrassing protest against dws. Something graphic, like when coathangers were sent to representatives who had gone on record saying they would vote for pro-life restrictions on abortion. What would be a good visual that would register in the minds of the public?

Seriously, can anyone think of anything?


Cher

[INdemo]

87. He should sue DWS

She has to go..how can any Democrat especially Obama put up with her BS without demanding she resign.

[FlatBaroque]

88. I have a feeling that Debbie is typing her resignation letter to President Sanders /

[TryLogic]

91. Surely there is some way to get her out of there.

[bvar22]

111. DWS was appointed by President Obama.

She remains as Chair of the DNC because the Democratic Party Power Brokers approve of the job she is doing. If they didn't, she would have been fired long ago.

She FAILED miserably as chair of the Red to Blue Program in 2008 when she refused to endorse Democrats who had won their Primaries and were for challenging vulnerable Republican seats. DWS said she didn't want her Republican Friends to be uncomfortable.
She Failed Upwards to chair the DNC, and she will Fail Upwards again if Hillary becomes president.

"I want to thank Debbie Wasserman-Schultz for being an outstanding chair of our party. (Applause.) She is a great partner."--President Obama

With "partners" like DWS, who needs Republicans?

[glinda]

95. Donated. DWS is real piece of work.

[passiveporcupine]

100. K&R

Thanks for posting this pinebox.

Does anyone know how to check this "rule" out. I am looking but haven't found it. I am concerned that a bad rep/senator cannot be forced out of office. A house rep has unlimited two-year terms, and a senator has unlimited six-year terms. So how does anyone run against an incumbent, unless they are from another party? I mean how do they "fairly" compete if they don't have access to the DNC voter list?

This is not only mean spirited and paranoid, it's just wrong. How do you kick out a bad representative or senator, if you can't have a fair race running a new candidate against them from your own party?

When was this decision made (this rule) and is there any way to break it?

[Blus4u]

101. Kicked

And Recommended!

Peace to you, pb

[Delmette]

103. Donated...

Go Tim!

I live on the opposite end of the country but I appreciate that he is opposing Debbie.

[Ruby the Liberal]

105. I only wish this surprised me

Already decided I'm changing to independent after our primary until that woman in no longer in charge. Wish I could file the paperwork today.

What a shrew.

[Enthusiast]

106. Kicked and recommended a bazillion times! Because fuck this shit!

Hit the road, DWS!

[questionseverything]

107. i read here last week obama was supporting a dem challenger over a sitting dem

wonder if that challenger gets access?

[RWilliam]

108. posted on FB

I posted this on my FB page so that my progressive friends and family members could see this and get to know Tim Canova. I feel it is time to move the conversation beyond Trump and start to look at some of the other issues folks like us are concerned with, apart from Sanders and Clinton.

But yeah this is NUTZ. I wish Tim the best.

[Uncle Joe]

114. Lord have mercy! Schultz just can't get low enough.

I hope the good people of Florida throw her out of office.

Thanks for the thread, pinebox.

[Warren DeMontague]

115. Debbie Wasserman Schultz loves payday lenders and votes to put medical marijuana users in PRISON.

She's really represents our brand well, dontchathink?

[senz]

119. I hope this gets more widely publicized.

The miscreants that took over our party in the 1990s need to go, the sooner the better.

121. DWS is such a DINO tool. nt

[CaptCaribbean]

123. Bought and Paid For

Wasserman/Schultz, Howard Dean, Paul Krugman. Who knows what Hillary/Bill have promised to these imposters and the other phony assholes like them.

[Rebkeh]

124. People are (or not?) figuring out that you can't do stuff like this in the age of the internet

Especially not with millions at the ready to prove/disprove everything instantaneously. It just pays to be authentic, it must be so tiring to keep all the deceptions aligned.

If you don't lie, you don't have to remember so much to keep stories straight.

Same principle. This is why Bernie is such a breath of fresh air, he is authentic because he gives himself he freedom to be so. And we trust him because of that.

[Dont call me Shirley]

127. The voters need to vote her out.

[maryallen]

129. Good luck, Tim!

Last election, she favored some FL Republicans over novice Democrats. Ask her why she did that ...
No good answer for a party chairman that I can think of.

136. he could just hack into it like bernie did

[Tree Frog]

138. Tim Canova, keep us updated

Thanks for the post 'pinebox'.
Invite Tim to keep coming to DU to update us. And to let us know how we can help him get elected, even those of us that don't live in Florida.

Is it any wonder that I have blocked any email from DNC or Democrats.org?

151. What are the rules and how long have they been in place?

Before judging, I'd like to hear both sides.

[casperthegm]

152. Why were these rules ever put in place to begin with?

I'd like to think of the Democratic party as the party that plays fair. These rules simply aren't fair. Who has the ability to correct this and why hasn't it been done?

I expect more from the party that expects me to back their candidate no matter what.

154. It's a damn primary

He should be allowed access. It's not link he's running against the Democratic incumbent in the general election. That would make sense. Not in the primary.

156. Bad news for Professor Canova: Bernie lost Broward County by a lanslide (only 26% of the vote)

He even lost Professor Canova's home precinct garnering less than 37% of the vote there.
