More info on the Wicked Witch, Jean Schmidt
The Culture of Corruption in the Ohio Republican Party is disgusting. The Coingate Scandal shows how Republicans stole from the people to funnel money to dirty politicians.

Jean Schmidt, the Republican candidate in the August 2nd Special Election, is funding her campaign in a manner that shows her place in the corrupt Republican Party. She's funding her campaign with PACs and dirty money from Tom DeLay. Jean Schmidt was also busted for hiding gifts from fat-cat lobbyists. And now Jean Schmidt is trying to buy the race herself?

Franken just mentioned her pledge 'that she will never stoop to name-calling!' LOL She is REALLY a snake!!!

5. Good info. This affair should be known as "About Schmidt"
Even though Jack Nickolson and Kathy Bates stared in the movie, IMHO, it was terrible.

Another idea About Schmidt is that she´s a rookie in congress and here she is calling an experienced man, a former Marine, a coward. This would not be tollerated in most businesses and most good people would never stoop this low to say such a stupid thing. Truly, Truly stupid, she should be embarrased and she should personally appologize to him and the nation for this remark. You think this ¨coward¨ will do the right thing?

9. Watchdog Group Urges Schmidt to Return $10,000 from Tom DeLay
Washington, DC – The non-partisan watchdog organization Public Campaign Action Fund urged congressional candidate Jean Schmidt to return two $5,000 donations from House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s Americans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee (ARMPAC) she received on June 23 and June 27.

Majority Leader DeLay’s fundraising and ethics scandals have captured national headlines since last year.

“Jean Schmidt should tell the voters of the second congressional district in Ohio that she will fight against the kind of pay-to-play politics embodied by Tom DeLay,” said David Donnelly, National Campaigns Director for Public Campaign Action Fund. “Washington has too many lobbyists, too much money, and too many members of Congress who are in the pocket of Tom DeLay. Schmidt should do the right thing and return the contributions.”

Public Campaign Action Fund compiled the DeLay Rankings (www.InDeLaysPocket.com) earlier this year, which ranks every member of Congress and how close they are to the scandal-plagued Majority Leader. Contributions from DeLay’s ARMPAC were a major factor of determining a member of Congress’s ranking.
