Jean Schmidt, OH-2 is a worthless waste of space in Congress

[Eurobabe]

I mean, look at this, the beast has a worse voting record than Virgil 'Muslim Hater' Goode VA-5. Even Goode voted yes on all three of these bills. How could THAT be?? I am just astounded. Schmidt is a POS, I sure hope the Dems run Paul Hackett to kick her ass in 2008!!! Tracked through MegaVote through Congress.Org:

Recent House Votes - JEAN SCHMIDT(HEAD) OH-2 (northern Cincinnati, Mason, etc.)
Freedom of Information Act Amendments - Vote Passed (308-117, 8 Not Voting)
The House passed this bill that would impose new requirement on government agencies regarding Freedom of Information Act requests.
Rep. Jean Schmidt voted NO

I guess mean Jean doesn't like transparency in Govt.?

Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act - Vote Passed (331-94, 8 Not Voting)
This House bill is intended to strengthen federal workers' whistleblower rights.
Rep. Jean Schmidt voted NO

Mean Jean thinks whistleblowers should be both discouraged and punished.

Accountability in Contracting Act - Vote Passed (347-73, 13 Not Voting)
This House bill is intended to increase oversight of federal contractors.
Rep. Jean Schmidt voted NO

Is Mean Jean getting kickbacks from Hallibacon?? :rant:

Edit, I just fired off an email to her:

Rep. Schmidt, you have outdone yourself.

Do you not believe in transparency in Government? I guess not since you voted NO against the Freedom of information Act Amendment.

Do you think brave people who risk life and limb to report fraud and wrong-doing in Govt. should be protected? I guess not since you voted NO on Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act.

Do you believe that Govt. contractors should be held accountable for their spending, and activities in Iraq & elsewhere? I guess not since you voted NO against the Accountability in Contracting Act.

Just who do you represent in Washington DC? Inquiring minds would like to know.

AND I just fired off a similar letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Rep. Jean Schmidt has shown her true colors in Congress this past week.

Does she believe in transparency in Government? I guess not since she
voted NO against the Freedom of information Act Amendment.

Does she think brave people who risk life and limb to report fraud and
wrong-doing in Govt. should be protected? I guess not since she voted NO on Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act.

Does she believe that Government contractors should be held accountable for their spending, and activities in Iraq? I guess not since she voted NO against the Accountability in Contracting Act.

Just who does Jean Schmidt represent in Washington DC? Inquiring minds would like to know.

1. WORSE than a waste of space

...
she's like a black hole sucking in reason, intelligence and compassion, from whence they may never escape

this is the 'mean jean' who accused Murtha of cowardice, yes?

[Eurobabe]

2. that's the one. I really think she has no clue what she is doing.

She never belonged in public office in the first place. OH-2 ought to do a recall on this POS. She narrowly won over Vicky Wulsin in OH-2 anyhow, it took 3 weeks to count all the provisionals before Wulsin finally reluctantly conceded to this stupid woman.

3. Ohians reelected her

Despite all she's said and the fact that communities throughout the state have been devastated by the far right policies she supports.

Says a LOT about people in that district.

4. When I saw a grown woman wearing scrunchies in her hair,

... I started doing phone bank work for Paul Hackett.

Her comments about Murtha were reprehensible, her voting record a nightmare.

She has got to go.

5. She's a total hate freak.

Great letters, btw.

6. Thanks COC!

That woman just pisses me off to my core. She has NO business being in Washington DC. Run HACKETT RUN!!
