The Real Lowdown on Jean Schmidt

Cincinnati City Beat: Schmidt is a hardcore EXTREMIST. If voters knew fully what Schmidt believed, they might sit out the election or switch over for once to a Democrat, especially one like Hackett. 1)During the campaign Schmidt is on leave as prez of the Right to Life of Greater Cincy. Now, no one should begrudge her that commitment. It's personal and religious. But does that commitment affect her political judgment and fitness? Maybe, b/c of this: 2) If you go to her group's Web site, www.affirminglife.org/ index.asp, and click around through the many pages and you'll learn she and her cohorts abhor living wills. Huh? Isn't that the one lesson from the GOP exploitation of Terri Schiavo -- that we should immediately get willed up? She says no. 3) Her local Right to Life site to this day says Schiavo was executed. 4) And that you shouldn't buy Levi jeans, anything Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson baby cream or read The NY Times. 5) And that there is no promise of embryonic stem cell research helping our relatives and friends survive diseases and crippling paralysis. The more mainstream voters come to realize she's a friend of Taft's and the leader of a fringe group, they might conclude she's not like them. And putting in a Dem, especially one who still wears the Marine uniform and has economic success but with colorful, earthy edges, could be the more comfortable choice. Yeah, and as Digby points out: If the election turns on which candidate has the most winning personality, Hackett should win in a landslide. Yikes." Check out this Schmidt interview w/David Gregory (courtesy of Crooks and Liars) to see Schmidt reveal her fangs and be her viperous best.
