Reports: DNC Chair Blocked Dem Resolution To Support Iran Deal

[Lorien]

Source: Crooks and Liars

You do not get to lead the Democratic party and oppose the President's best effort to secure a peaceful solution to the problem of Iran nuclear capabilities. You simply don't.

That's the message DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz needs to hear loud and clear. She should no longer hold the title of DNC Chair if she cannot lead Democrats to support a resolution of support for the Iran Deal.

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz prevented consideration of a resolution at the party’s summer meeting here that praised President Obama and offered backing for the nuclear agreement with Iran, according to knowledgeable Democrats.

Debbie isn't just incompetent, she's dangerous.

1. I suppose she's trying to make Obama look bad?....

By supporting him on his biggest POS bills he was pushing with the TPA and TPP, and yet working against Obama on one of his best bills that he's trying to push with this Iran deal bill.

Obama should be told to FIRE HER!!!!

2. Bring back Howard Dean as DNC Chairman.

He got the job of uniting the Party. He lead the Party.

39. This link should be an OP in GD!

We can *up* the signatures on this~!

[Karma13612]

40. signed. this feels good. DWS is

nothing but heartache to me.

I remember all the way back to 2008 when she was behind Hillary 100% and she just seemed so disingenuous.

thanks for providing this link.

I hope our voices are heard.

4. Who bought her?

[tularetom]

26. AIPAC bought her

Although she probably came pretty cheap.

[question everything]

35. No, her constituents

She is entitled to her opinion as a member of Congress, not not as a chair.

[still_one]

5. However, they went around her. James Zogby, co-chair of the Resolutions Committee, led a move to

"prepare a letter of support for the president and the Iran agreement that eventually gained signatures from a sizable majority of the members of the national committee. Zogby said Saturday that, in the end, this produced a satisfactory outcome.

“We wanted to show support for the president,” he said. “We found that the best way to show support was a letter that members would sign on to, and the overwhelming majority of DNC members signed onto the letter. This is the President Obama we elected in 2008 who said, ‘I choose diplomacy over conflict,’ and he did it.”

So while the actions of the DNC chair went one way, the vast majority of the DNC members went the other way, and opposed her position.

Ironically, DWS has not indicated how she will vote on the Iran deal. Biden will be making a trip to her district, and present the case to her constituents. It will be very interesting how she votes. I realize most hear already believe she will vote against the deal, but I am not so sure. With Biden going to her district to argue the case for the deal, anything can happen.

6. She hurts the dems more than she helps them - imho

She was a disaster when debating Reince Priebus leading up to the 2014 election.

[still_one]

9. I am not making excuses for her. The OP is right, if she cannot allow the DNC to even present a

resolution of support for the President on the Iran deal, she should step down. Even if she is against the deal, assuming that is what her constituents want, I personally feel it was wrong of her to block a vote on the resolution by other members of the DNC supporting the agreement. At least they found a way around it

[Karma13612]

41. agree,

she is supposed to present a unified cohesive image.

Sounds like she is using her office/position purely to enhance her agenda alone. And we know since she is fully behind Hillary Clinton, her actions are informed by that alliance.

It is obvious she is not thinking of the party as a whole, and trying to grow membership and unity.

Very sad because it is so obvious.


I have signed the Whitehouse petition to have her step down.

8. Thank you, still_one.. you are a gem!

This is what VP Biden has been up to.. being an excellent Veep!

[still_one]

10. Sometimes the full story isn't presented. I personally think she should have allowed the resolution

to be voted on, even assuming she personally doesn't support the deal, but they did find a way around it

[Cha]

12. Yes, that would have been Democratic of her.. thanks for the Full Story.. I X posted it here..

Thanks for the thread, Lorien.

16. I don't think it's a big deal

It's an unneeded and meaningless resolution. It shouldn't have been brought up anyway. I don't like DWS as the Democratic Party chair and I think she should be replaced. But this is no big deal.

[thebighobgoblin]

18. It's a big deal

in the sense that it demonstrates the lobbying power that Israel and Zionist activists have on our country.

[thebighobgoblin]

17. Another example of Zionist influence in America. Thank you, AIPAC.

When are people going to wake up and stand up to these Zionist bullies?!

[SoapBox]

19. What the hell?

[bigwillq]

20. DWS is awful. (Nt)

[craigmatic]

21. Remember how they used to say Catholics shouldn't hold high office because they'd be taking orders

from Rome but nobody says that about Jewish politicians even though they're clearly following Israel's line.

[fbc]

30. That doesn't really work

Plenty of republican Christians take their orders from AIPAC too.

[craigmatic]

43. true

[Botany]

22. Does DWS really work for the republicans?

Exclusive: Allison Tant was lobbyist for firm that purged African-Americans from
voter rolls before, during and after 2000 recount.

http://thepoliticalhurricane.com/2012/12/19/breaking-news-allison-tant-was-lobbyist-for-firm-that-purged-african-americans-from-voter-rolls-in-2000/

And who put Ms. Tant as head of the Florida Dem. Party? Why good old DWS.

[Lorien]

33. Good question. The original founders of the DLC were

GOP operatives who wanted to destroy the party from the inside out. She could be made from the same mold.

[mwrguy]

23. AIPAC strike again

[fbc]

25. Fire her!!!

[Stellar]

27. immediately, if not sooner!

29. Sign the White House petition:

[Dont call me Shirley]

38. DNC, fire DWS!

[freshwest]

42. Debbie Downer is now officially off my Xmas card list. She wasn't on it, but now...

Sounds like she wants the GOP to win the White House next year. Not cool...
