(9,314 posts)Thinking about the rule of thumb "don't listen to what I say, watch what I do" it is apparent. It was a pretty insensitive remark, especially to the Wisconsin Dems who had been working their heart out on the recall issue, to refer to this effort as a "dry run." Words do count.
Actions count more. I recently posted here on DU the question how could Romney possibly be running so close to Obama in Florida when so many seniors reside there. Seniors as a group there live in fear someone will alter Social Security and Medicare, to seniors' detriment. Why, I asked here, is this not a issue front and center in the Presidential race? A DU'er from Florida attributed this to Wasserman Schulz' lack of leadership on these issues. That suggests to me she is one of the Dems rumored to be in favor of reforming these social programs in capitulations with the Republicans.
Personally, I am a moderate to left-leaning Democrat, pretty leftist in fact. I identify myself as a proud liberal. As such, I do not think Wasserman Schulz and I are in the same ballpark.
