1. I sure hope that bring up torture
with prosecution is not really fueled by the GOP to give them a leg to fight against the Democrats. As of late, the GOP had no traction what so ever but now, they have something to bitch about, play the victim and etc...........

Just a back burner thought.

8. Please don't be afraid.
That's a rethug trait. We are Democrats and human beings. Fighting for the rule of law and the good reputation of our Country far exceeds concerns on what the losers want. They went after a president for adultery, yet you quibble about war crimes? Please.

4. Not wanting to get into it too deep, but did you support her sabotaging other Democrats
running for Congress in your state?

5.  I understand her support of her Cuban-American consitituents - and that the GOP candidates were
more in line with them and that it would be in her interest to stay on the sideline.

Kendrick Meek positioned himself similarly.

I certainly would have preferred her support of the D's and less activism elsewhere. But I think all-in-all she is a congresswoman that lines up closely with my interests. The hatred toward her by some on this site is just not justified in my opinion.

6. I live in her district. She wouldn't go after Bush when he was in office.
She said her constituents weren't interested in impeachment. Clearly, that wasn't true. Wexler was on the case, though.

She's, at best, an opportunist.

9. what do you mean "Clearly that wasn't true"
I am not disagreeing - just wonder what you base that on.

I would have thought with the Cuban-American support for Bush, that her comments would have been correct.

10. Well, I'm her constituent, and there were others that I am in touch with...
...that bombarded her with emails and showed up to hound her at her personal appearances. At the same time, Rep. Wexler, in the next district, reported that 60% of his constituents favored impeachment. Debbie's district is as least as liberal as his. She runs unopposed! Her district is not as Cuban as some others.

7. DWS is a paper tiger and and supports Republicans running for election.
Edited on Thu Apr-23-09 11:48 AM by 40ozDonkey
Her video was on here not three months ago promising that if Karl Rove ignored his subpoena he would be brought up on charges. How'd that go, Debbie?

Oh right, he still hasn't testified after three tries. But it's hard work, making promises that she hoped John Conyers would keep.

She's a politician and she does what politicians do best - act outraged, get airtime, and change nothing. Drop this turncoat from her seat, her district is solid blue. My neighbors to the south deserve their rep's support, instead she gives her support to Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and the Bush-loving Balart Brothers.

Joe Garcia could've used your help, Debbie. Thanks for nothing as usual.
