"Even if she could be forgiven for those remarks, there are a few other problems. First, the state rep she claims to be quoting in that speech has said he did not say what she attributed to him. That's called lying. Before that there was her promise to invesitgate the styrene leak and hold those responsible accountable. Never happened. Since then, she was caught claiming to have Steve Chabot's endorsement. Whoops, Chabot didn't endorse her. Then she said Tom Tancredo endorsed her days after her rival Bob McEwen had an immigration hawk in for a fund-raiser. Whoops, Tancredo didn't endorse her. Then she claimed that the Family Research Council endorsed her. Whoops. they're a non-profit. Can't endorse anyone. NExt, we have the claim that she earned two degrees from the University of Cincinnati. Whoops, she didn't have two degrees. Rather than apologize, she claimed that she did the hours but never picked up the degree because her mother dided. Whoops. Her mom died in 1990, 6 YEARS after she took her last class and one year after she first ran for office. When she first ran for office in 1989, she toled the Clermont Sun she had two degrees and was a teacher. Whoops... she never taught anywhere. Then in 1993 she told the Sun and the Enquirer she had two degrees. She repeated the lie in 1997 and again in her own wrods she told the League of Women Voters the same thing in 2000. She also told the Sun and the Enquirer the same thing in her 2000 run for state rep. Lucky for her, the Ohio Elections Commission could only go two years back. But she LIED again when she told the news media the mitake was made for the first time by her web designer and she never looked at her own website.

SIDEBAR: has anyone here worked on a campaign where the candidate did NOT obsess over every item that had his or her name on it? Including the website? END SIDEBAR

Now she shows her ignorance of the House rules. She's been there for a year.

For her to call criticisms of her public statements and voting record "personal attacks" is also way out of line considering that her entire caampaign has been a personal attack on Dr. Wulsin."
