Wasserman Schultz Named Top Jewish Leader
BY BUDDY NEVINS
I went by early voting in Plantation a week or so before Election Day and bumped into U. S. Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Even thought she had a safe Democratic district and a nominal opponent, Wasserman Schultz wasn’t taking anything for granted.
That’s Wasserman Schultz: Energetic, dedicated and filled with ability.
With her flashy blonde Brillo hair and her articulate devotion to liberal causes, she is the Florida pol who drives conservatives batty. She’s the member of Congress that the Tea Party crowd loves to hate.
And she is the most prominent Jewish pol in heavily-Jewish Florida.
Now “Forward”, the most prominent Jewish newspaper, has named her one of the Forward 50 top Jewish leadersonce again.
Wasserman Schultz has been rightfully given this honor at least two times in the past.
Here is the article. While you scroll down to Wasserman Schultz, check out the other Jewish leaders also honored. Debbie is in some terrific company.

Wasserman Schultz should be condemned, not honored. Her liberal agenda has ruined this country by wasting billions and trillions of dollars. It is too bad she was not swept away along with the other Big Spenders.

We don’t condemn rain because it differs from sunshine or water because it’s different from fire.
Opposites matter because they offer balance to an otherwise an incomplete world and the same applies in politics.
Through constant contrast on the needs of the rich and the poor our society is served. Those contrasts help us achieve moderation which tends to serve our nation best.
One sided politics produces a weak democracy. Both sides have flaws and benefits. Smart democracies constantly consider both sides and find balance.
Celebrate the successes of all our leaders. Don’t condemn them for having their own equally important viewpoints. Let’s be more civil.

Liberal tripe….are you brain dead or have you forgotten that this past decade featured two wars while cutting taxes…first time in history…You silly wingnuts inherited a surplus and squandered it…save your money buy your beach-front property in Costa Rico and be gone

I’m a Republican, and I generally vote for Republican candidates. However, in the past 20 years I have worked with and known many politicians of both parties. I can tell you that Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is the most honest, hard-working, and well-meaning politician I have ever known personally. Though I do not agree with her on many issues, I respect her tremendously.
We need a healthy two-party system with honest, well-meaning people who often disagree with each other. Otherwise, we are Venezuela.

Over the past 20 years I have not always voted for Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. I voted for her this time. She has my admiration. She is a very well-spoken Democrat and can easily handle debating with the big boys.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a voice of sanity in an increasingly disfunctional Congress.

The Jewish Left in America(represented by the kind of bigoted clown profiled here) is a tragedy for America and a threat to everything good,decent and free.

Wasserman Shultz should be ashamed of herself for her failure to stand up for Israel and for Netanyahu. The big O has still failed to go to Israel although he has gone to several other Middle East countries. Aren’t they our #1 ally in the Middle East? She is a Pelosi drone who was rewarded with a position on the Senate Select Intelligence Panel for which she has no experience or background for.
Shame on Broward County and shame on the Jews who voted for this lady that supports Obama and Pelosi.
Thank G-d for the mid-term elections. Shalom.

Sgt Scultz is a joke she refused to debate with Karen Harrington on any issue…The 1 and only townhall was full of SEIU union thugs..as was the entire room……She is a joke enough with the half-wit democrats in Florida….Nancy Pelosis lap dog

Like Alan Grayson, Rob Wexler, & Abe Foxman, another in a long line of JEWISH EMBARRASSMENTS! (I am a jew & see them a mile away)
Out for their self- aggrandizement, they are TOXIC!
What happens if it was whiny debbie who disemminated the Kaufman tape to MSNBC, which precipitated the school lockdown?
“IF YOU KNEW DEBBIE LIKE WE KNOW DEBBIE, OH, OH, OH WHAT A GAL…”
