Liberals Turn On Each Other, Blog Bashes Wasserman Schultz

Uh-oh!  It appears that Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is taking some not so “friendly” fire from the liberal blogosphere.  The blog Down With Tyranny has just posted a story with some pretty stinging criticism of Wasserman Schultz for opposing H.R. 693, a bill that apparently would open up sugar trade with Cuba.  DWT calls ‘DWS’ “grotesquely corrupt” for her firm position against opening up trade with Castro’s regime.  Interestingly enough, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) also supports the bill  as well.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz has a PAC which has given nearly a quarter million dollars to Democrats running for re-election and election in the House. [This was in 2007.]  Between the US-Cuba Democracy PAC and her own sleazy Democrats Win Seats PAC this is how much loot Wasserman Schultz was able to direct to Democratic freshmen willing to sell her their votes, even from congressmen representing agricultural districts where this amendment would have had widespread support. The first amount comes from the US-Cuba Democracy PAC and the second came directly from the shady Wasserman Schultz PAC:
