Say what you want about Representative Jean Schmidt, she’s always been consistent. Ohio’s 2nd district Republican congresswoman remained loyal to President Bush even in the darkest days. She has been unwaveringly supportive of finishing what we started in Iraq. Her patriotic dresses and matching hair red, white and blue hair ribbons make [...]
