An apology gets more press.

"I apologize for calling the dems cut and run socialists, even though it is clear that this is what they are. I am sorry for saying that dems are yellow-bellied surrender monkeys even though this is exactly what they are proposing. And CNN, you can run this quote all weekend long."

That Video should be emailed around the Country so that everyone can see what backstabbing cowards are serving in the US Congress on the side of the Left.

Well, just makes it more obvious that cowards use "proceedural rules" to silence opposition and hide from the truth. No real difference from their usual tactics. Shout them down, that's the extent of the DIMs debating skills.

I don't know her state record.... but all Ohio state pubs have "tax issues".

At this I don't care about her "state record".. she's the first Ohio Republican I've seen to have some intestinal fortitude. I'd like to see in the senate instead of Dewienie or Voinyitch.

One comment, no matter how correct, does not a good Congresswoman make... she has much to prove to me if she wants to stay in the House...

That is why I quit the GOP and joined the Conservative Party in New Jersey. I know my candidates if they ever became a rep in Congress would have told the House Rules Committee, "Reprimand me, I will not withdraw my comments, freedom over treason, give me my country or give me death!" And my party will back him/her.

I agree, but it doesn't really matter.

It's out there. People know what she said.

They didn't make her apologize, they struck her remarks from the record on a technicallity.

It doesn't matter. It's part of public record if not congress.

Jean Schmidt was a neighbor of mine until I moved to another neighborhood about 18 months ago. I am completely familiar with her career in politics.

She had a great moment yesterday which I totally applaud. However, IMHO she is in over her head. I'm all in favor of citizen legislators. She is not one. She is a career politico and her goal is to stay in Congress as long as she can. That is not a citizen legislator.

She was in over her head in the Ohio State Senate (where she voted for tax increases for her pal Square Bob Sponge Tax Taft). She barely held off a democrat challenger in one of the reddest districts in the nation.

She is in over her head. She'll be eaten alive in D.C.

I reiterate my point - she does not impress me.

You can't unring a bell. She said what she said. She made her point, and quite cleverly. The apology was a formality. I am glad to see the GOP taking off the gloves. FINALLY.

No, Mike Pence is definitely more to my liking.

Look, Jean Schmidt had a great moment yesterday. I applaud her for that.

However, when she was in the State Senate she voted FOR tax increases and backed Square Bob Sponge Tax Tafts horrid plans, tax increases and anti-business initiatives. She was defeated in her first shot a re-election.

She barely held off a democrat in her run for Congress in one of the reddest districts in the Nation.

No, she does not impress me. I only voted for her to keep the seat in the hands of the GOP. I voted for a better qualified Republican (Brinkman) in the primary. I'll vote for the better qualified Republican in the next primary too. She represents my district. I'm entitled to my opinion based on my observations of her muddling career.

She does not impress me.
