Some Basic Differences Between Democrats And Republicans

It's not news to anyone that there will be a presidential campaign in 2012.  This silly season seems to have begun early in this election cycle.  I am sure there are Republicans out there saying stupid things, but the air-headed statements award of the moment has to go to Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.

Yesterday CNS News reported on some of Ms. Wasserman's recent statements:

  • recently Ms. Wasserman denounced Republicans last week for believing illegal immigration "should in fact be a crime.
  • recently Ms. Wasserman stated "If it were up to the candidates for president on the Republican side, we would be driving foreign cars; they would have let the auto industry in America go down the tubes."  It should be noted that according to Florida motor vehicle records, Ms. Wasserman drives a Japanese car.
  • "One of the most tremendous sources of pride for me is that I am the first Jewish woman to represent the state of Florida in Congress. And another tremendous source of pride is that I am a pro-Israel Jewish member of Congress and I probably support a president that is pro-Israel," Wasserman Schultz said.
  • The new chairwoman has made a number of attention grabbing comments. In an April 6 interview on MSNBC, Wasserman Shultz voiced her opposition to the proposal by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to reduce the deficit by $6 trillion in 10 years.

  • This plan would literally be a death trap for some seniors," Wasserman Schultz said.Last week she said on MSNBC, that the passage of the health care law has strengthened Medicare.

  • "In fact, we added 12 years of solvency to Medicare and ensure that it would be better for senior," she said on Andrea Mitchell Reports on May 25.

    That's contrary to the assessment of the Congressional Budget Office, the non-partisan accounting arm of Congress that predicted the Medicare trust fund will be exhausted by 2020 at the current path, almost a decade sooner than the last year's forecast.

It is amazing to me that Ms. Wasserman sees President Obama as pro-Israel.  The path the President has started down in terms of creating a Palestinian state is a recipe for the destruction of Israel.  It is also interesting that she makes statements about Medicare that can easily be proven false.  I also wonder why she feels that illegal immigrants are called illegal if they are not committing a crime.

I suspect Ms. Wasserman might make this a much more interesting political season than it might otherwise be.  She's almost as good as Howard Dean!
