I assume you mean political assasination. I am not a fan of Schmidt myself. She is a bit of a loose cannon, and not reflective or thoughtful from what I have seen, nor effective. But she speaks her mind, candidly. That would be grand, if only her mind where a bit more, well whatever. I make this statement not as an ideological one. Some troglos I admire, including Senator Coburn and McClintock in California. I admire politicians who enhance rather than detract from an intelligent debate in the public square, and effectively influence it.

Where the hell did this stuff come from? 1984?

They're dragging out something that happened in 1984?

Is McEwen really your white knight? That would be quite odd. Hasn't he found some alternative productive line of work yet?

Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) expressed her contempt for a future colleague and allegedly likened young Republican activists to Hitler

She should become a Libertarian.

Give her credit. She was absolutely right about the drinking age vs. the fighting age and the voting age.

There's a difference between stating an intelligent opinion about where the drinking age should be, and stating, "I hate that woman" and booing Elizabeth Dole at a Republican convention. Obviously all Republican delegates should boo and express their hate at all speakers they have a different opinion with.

And it was dumb to mention Hitler, because it gives ammunition to the enemy. But all she said if you look at it closely is that Young Republicans look too serious.

Of course, it's only wrong to compare others to Hitler when it's Howard Dean or Paul Hackett who does it. If Mean Jean wanted to say that some Republicans should loosen up, why not just say that? Why does she have to compare them to the Hitler youth?

Lots of crusaders for never-gonna-win candidates around FR lately.

I have some theories:

(a) A lot of trolls have come out of the woodwork campaigning against Republican incumbents. They post smear articles (though none as bizarre as this) and claim to be on a Quixotic quest for a nobody candidate.

(b) A Murtha fan.

I never mentioned anything about McEwen. And in last year's special election I voted for neither McEwen nor Schmidt.

My comments were with respect to the mental stability of the originator of this thread, as his posts demonstrate a notable lack thereof. No one is calling Rep. Schmidt the best or most effective member of Congress, only that her lone opponent is a failed gadfly who needlessly lost, through his own actions (as being one of the biggest check-kiters of the early '90s), a safe GOP seat that was won by the 'Rat standard-bearer for Governor this year (whom, if he wins, will owe Mr. McEwen a considerable debt of gratitude for putting him on the road to victory).

Were the aforementioned poster to back a more ethical and respectable candidate instead of an obsessed-to-win loser, he might be on to something. As it stands, he comes on here regularly to attack the Congresswoman in an irrational and pathological manner, posting half-truths and innuendoes (and now, old garbage like this) to try to bolster the candidacy of a damaged individual that could cost us this seat in November, and I feel that the woman is at least deserving of a modest amount of respect and defense.

Is this media payback for her lambasting of Murtha?
I think I like "Mean" Jean better all the time.
You know you're over the target if you're getting flak. ;o)

The subject poster has now distanced itself from McEwen. Cheers.

Assuming you aren't a troll, you're the worst kind of activist. You get all worked up about one candidate, believing the sun rises and sets with him, and when he loses (miserably) in the primary, you burn all of your bridges behind you.

Here were the outcomes of the special election:
Jean Schmidt 31.37%
Bob McEwen 25.53%
Tom Brinkman 20.40%
Pat DeWine 11.97%

(This kind of split tells us why Hackett even placed in the election, BTW.)

So, whomever you support, you support not only a loser, but someone who couldn't even make the top 2.

Torie, don't get me wrong. Though I didn't vote for McEwen or Schmidt last time and I'm not close to either, in this year's 2-way race I'll vote for McEwen this time.

It comes down to the issues. Jean Schmidt was a reliable supporter of Bob Taft and all his tax hikes, while Bob McEwen was a reliable supporter of Ronald Reagan and his tax cuts. In a race between a Taft Republican and a Reagan Republican, I'll support the Reagan Republican anytime.
