Mean Jean Schmidt Breaks Pledge To Keep Campaign Positive
By Nicole Belle Thursday Oct 30, 2008 3:30pmI don't know how to tell you this, Jean, but craven Republicans desperate to hold on to their seats cut and run from their word, patriots never do. Don't look now, but I think your knickers are on fire.
Just one week after making this pledge(.pdf), Schmidt releases an ad attacking rival (and Blue America candidate) Victoria Wulsin as a physician. Way to stay on the issues, Jean. In the interest of disclosure about the charges in the ad, I received this from the Wulsin campaign:
(I)n 2006, the Ohio Elections Commission ruled that Jean Schmidt displayed a “reckless disregard for the truth” during her 2005 campaign for Congress.
In 2004, Dr. Wulsin was hired as a consultant by the Cincinnati-based Heimlich institute to review existing research on a controversial treatment for AIDS and other diseases. Dr. Wulsin determined that the experiments failed and her consultancy was promptly terminated.
In April, after a “thorough review,” the State Medical Board of Ohio determined these false charges had no merit. Steve Black, who originally raised this issue in the Democratic Primary Election, endorsed Dr. Wulsin and said he accepted the State Medical Board of Ohio’s decision that these charges had no merit. [Rulon, Cincinnati Enquirer “Politics Extra Blog”, 8/7/08]
Though the ad attacks Dr. Wulsin’s record as a physician, she is supported by the Ohio State Medical Association and the American Medical Association as well as 10 other medical and health groups. Over 350 individual physicians have supported Dr. Wulsin’s campaign.
The false charges in Schmidt’s new ad are identical to charges made by the Congresswoman in fundraising letters earlier this year. After analyzing one such letter, the Cincinnati Enquirer characterized Schmidt’s attacks as “stretching the truth.” [Rulon, Cincinnati Enquirer, 6/15/08]
Well, turnabout is fair play, so Wulsin is putting out this ad in response:
Love the stammering. You can send a little love to Vic Wulsin at our Blue America page.
C'mon Ohio, do you really want to have Jean Schmidt representing you?

Say it ain't so!!!
People don't gravitate to the GOP unless they are 1)angry 2)greedy (keep that money at all cost) and 3) scumbags willing to lower themselves to toilet bowl tactics. This is the rule as we've witnessed during this campaign with John McCain leading the scumbag charge.
I think Bob Barr has a present for John McCain and the american people next Tuesday: Looks like he's already stealing 3-5 percentage points from John McCain. wa-hoo!

Couldn't agree with your assessment of the republicans more.
people gravitate towards the GOP because they are just plain stupid,also.
Love your point about Bob Barr! I had forgotten about that little gift he has for McCain. Niiice!
Schmidt, Palin, Harris...just love the women of the republics.
Bachman, Dole, Coulter, Ashley Sweeny Todd, etc.
A scary bunch, isn't it?
Back in the summer, my husband and I were painting our kitchen. The tv was on c-span and Barr was the guest on Washington Journal. I swear he made way more sense than McCain ever could. Of course I don't agree with him on basic issues, but when it comes to the Patriot Act and privacy, I do. Were I a republican with questions about McCain, I would certainly take a look at Barr.
His cheerleading against Clinton's impeachment.
Senate Hopeful Sues Dole Over Atheist Ad
Dole ad condemed by opponent, newspaper
Liddy Dole needs to go to a Hell without Viagra. On second thought, a Hell with LOTS of Viagra.
Imagine that. Mean Jean going negative. Who would ever have predicted that? Heh.
????
Unreal that a state can produce someone with so much honesty and determination...and then some stupid skanky bitch who is frustrated, angry and simply a "BITCH".
I hope they oust this cranky old witch right afte they are done with her on Halloween.
Good riddance schmidt...you Nazi SS whore!
Well, she tested positive for A$$hole.
Mean Jean Schmidt came ridin' in,
a-ridin' on a broomstick
After Halloween they say
She'll use it for a toothpick.
She's just pissed off because someone dropped a house on her sister.
Thanks L&P, I needed a laugh.
a slight misunderstanding. I believe Schmidt claimed her campaign would be positively... repulsive. Apparently her quote was taken out of context.
likes to jog in the wee hours, turns out she got hit by a hit and run driver. she's laid up pretty good, from what i understand. not that it matters, but she's probably fairly pissed off right about now.
btw, why do i think of a certain character (along with a bunch of flying monkeys) in the wizard of oz everytime i think of her.
I think ALL right wing nutjobs are using that same dreadful music in all of their ads - I heard one today here in NY with the exact same dire negative sullen-sounding music.
Please do me a favor and help defeat mean jean schmidt. Support her opponent. Inform voters. Make blog posts. Whatever it takes to rid our government of these types of people. Thanks.

Anyone got any polls at their disposal comcerning her race?
Yep, you heard it here.
Obama is a fan of Tommy Douglas (Saskachewan Premier who introduced Universal Health Care in the 60's). Tommy Douglas is Keiffer Sutherland's Grandfather and Obama thinks the Sutherland's are terrific actors. Donald Sutherland played the lead role in "The Eye Of The Needle" in which he played a Nazi assassin sent by Hitler to kill Churchill.
Now, using Palin's twisted logic, I'd say it's clear....Obama is a Nazi sympathizer.
We're done now with the Jewish vote for sure.
Let's hope a huge wave of INTELLIGENCE and COMMON SENSE rolls over the USA on Tuesday.
