Democrat Committee Chair, DebbieWasserman-Schultz has been a polarizing figure in
congress since 2005.
Known as a bomb
thrower on the level of Howard Dean, her reputation for outrageous statements has
been augmented by her lack of candor.
But Wasserman Schultz has been getting hammered in the polls in
her south Florida Congressional district,
especially since the DNC floor fight to take
God and the backing of Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel
from their platform.
See floor fight
Wasserman-Schultz has been uncharacteristically silent/evasive on that fight and it has
only inflamed speculation she tacitly endorsed the original platform of no God
and no Jerusalem.
I asked Karen to update us on her quest to unseat Wasserman
Schultz, as well as her opinion on a few issues which will shape the future of
our country:

What is your opinion about businesses either reducing employees
or changing them to part time status to avoid being in the grasp of Obamacare
mandates. She said: “ I am not surprised;
this administration doesn’t understand, the private sector will do everything
it can to survive. If it means laying off employees, or causing under employment
in order to remain in business, they will do it. Obamacare will kill the
economy.”
How are the polls looking for you? “We are delighted;
our latest polling shows we are in perfect position with 25% of Democrats saying
they will be voting for us. We are only 5 points behind, but there is a 16%
undecided factor, which never bodes well for an incumbent.”
“We have received over
1.4 million in donations from 18,000 donors from all 50 states. Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Mark Levin, Michelle Bachman and a whole host of others have thrown their weight behind my campaign. The Tea Party has been instrumental in their
support of me, especially the local gathering which is comprised of
independents/democrats and republicans.”
“We have support over
a wide spectrum of political beliefs, where Wasserman Schultz is perceived as
far left and has a narrow band of support.
My candidacy offers the voters of Florida
a clear cut choice between DWS and myself. We call this campaign Americas Race.”
In fact Harrington feels today’s democrat party has been
hijacked by the far left, she sees many democrats switching to the GOP where
they feel they have more representation. “If
John F. Kennedy were alive today he would not be a member of today’s democrat
party.”
As we discussed last time, the present administration has
been waging a war against our energy sector, especially coal. Governor Romney declared in his speech he
would stop the war on coal and back efforts to make us totally energy
independent. Would you support those
efforts if you were a member of congress?
“It’s a tragedy what
the government has been doing to our coal manufacturing sector. Operations
shutting down, companies going bankrupt and projects under assault by the out
of control EPA, are going to damage our country. We always get accused of not caring about the
environment, etc., when nothing could be further from the truth. We want to see responsible use of our natural
resources in making us become energy independent and I will wholeheartedly help
a Romney administration attain that.”
“The government needs
to become a team player with our energy sector and not an adversary.”
With that being said, there is debate that will pit the ideology
fueling the war on our energy sector against a strong voice defending the
fossil fuel sector this November 5 at Duke University.
It should be considered a must see by
Americans who care about the future of our country:
See McKibben vs. Epstein.
Karen Harrington also told Speaker of the House,John Boehner when she met him: “He and the GOP will have to earn my respect
in order to keep my support. I just
recently switched from being an independent to becoming a registered republican
and I don’t believe in a go along to get along attitude.”
If Karen achieves success this November, her victory will
send a clear message to Washington
and she will go there with a wide coalition of Americans behind her.
