Showing Original Post only (View all)Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s offered to change her position on marijuana for donor's approval [View all]
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/02/debbie-wasserman-schultz-medical-marijuana-115338.htmlDemocratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultzs office offered to change her position on medical marijuana if a major Florida donor recanted his withering criticism of her, according to emails obtained by POLITICO.
The proposal to Orlando trial lawyer John Morgan was straightforward: retract critical statements he made to a reporter in return for Wasserman Schultz publicly backing his cannabis initiative that she had trashed just months earlier. Morgan declined the offer with a sharp email reply sent to a go-between, who described the congresswoman as being in a tizzy.

How craven of her. Only does the right thing when her back is up against the wall.

Which means she doesn't even see anything wrong with what she is doing. No moral compass.

And, of course, being a Floridian, I am fucking supposed to support her and vote for her.

Well she lost a lot of us with her asinine support of arresting sick grannies for smoking pot.
