Jean Schmidt Hires Iraq War Veteran

[DoYouEverWonder]

1/21/2006

Congresswoman Jean Schmidt has hired an Iraq war veteran to join her staff.

Schmidt sparked controversy in late 2005 when on the House floor she said "cowards cut and run, Marines never do" in reference to the U.S. presence in Iraq.

Staff Sergeant Paul Brondhaver has been hired to do community outreach for Schmidt on issues related to the military.

Brondhaver received the Purple Heart after being wounded in Iraq.

I hope Jean has enough sense to get rid of all those purple heart band-aids left over from the Repug convention.

1. Perhaps we should send her a few purple heart band aids.

Just as a little joke, of course. ;)

11. schmidthead needs to get

those purpleheart bandaids as a reminder of how her hypocritical party treated the Soldiers who recieved Purple Hearts!

Revenge is a dish best served cold and I think it's good and cold now!

2. So the old hag appears again, huh?

I still can't believe people in that state preferred her over Paul Hackett.

8. That district is close to Cincy;

Where they still shoot blacks because they are! I'm in Columbus, where the paper not once endorsed John Glenn.

3. You rang?

4. Ah, there she is

the poster girl for dumb ass Republicans.

5. Is he still active? reserve? "Vet" doesn't mean out always - as

my husband is a vet twice over.

And if he is still in - even NG or Reserve - he can't LEGALLY be involved in politics in his uniform or claim he represents the military in ANY way.

Just saying

[Karenina]

10. Ya think he was ever actually

on the ground in Iraq? Enquiring minds want to know...

[DoYouEverWonder]

12. You only get a Purple Heart

if you've been in combat, so he must have been on the ground in Iraq or Afghanistan.

[Toots]

21. You mean those swift boat fellas might not be telling the truth?

Who would have thunk it? :shrug: Respect the veteran for even the rear echelon areas are never really safe...

[Solly Mack]

13. Exactly.

somewhere - sumptin ain't right.

16. He is retired from the Ohio NG

according to what I have read.

17. Thanks!

6. The controversy wasn't that she simply . . . .

"said "cowards cut and run, Marines never do" in reference to the U.S. presence in Iraq." but that she did it in addressing Senator Murtha, thus implying that Murtha is a coward - AND - she tried to ascribe the comment to someone else for whom she was simply passing the message along; that attribution turned out to be a lie. All of this happened when Schmidt took her turn during the discussion of a completely adulterated Repbulican version of Murtha's resolution, which they had introduced for the sole purpose of voting against it.

19. Savior Quest?

Oh that figures. Sure he grabbed his bible in the middle of battle after he got all shot up with shrapnel, while he was holding a gun and shotting the enemy.

The rest of that site is a hoot too. They seem a little obsessed with sex and homosexuality.

15. He is very adept at getting his name out there

from what I can see.

This is interesting.

18. I heard his Purple Heart

was fake, and that he was injured zipping up his pants. (Reverse Swift Boat)

20. Is this what you call "pandering" to rectify an embarrassing

situation?
