For those of you that don’t know Alexa.com is the equivalent for ranking Internet traffic that the Nielsen ratings are for television.
Below are the current rankings for the sites that have covered the Ohio-2 primary:
Thefdhlounge.blogspot.com has a traffic rank of: 814,365
Thebellwetherdaily.blogspot.com has a traffic rank of: 1,279,563
Nixguy.com has a traffic rank of: 1,860,957
Massdiscussion.blogspot.com has a traffic rank of: 2,144,597
To the defense of Nixguy I believe he does blog at another site and he has pretty much stayed behind the scenes with his support of Jean Schmidt this time around.
Bill Sloat at Thebellwetherdaily.blogspot.com has done a sound job reporting the truth about Jean Schmidt and encouraging voters to select the one true conservative candidate in this election Tom Brinkman.
Our blog of course has enjoyed much success due largely to the tireless efforts of Rick Morris and the other FDH Lounge Dignitaries who have been busy blogging about subjects other than my favorite topic: Jean Schmidt. (In fact, our ranking for the last week is up over 200,000 spots.)
That brings us of course to the site that currently is Jean Schmidt’s biggest fan: Matt Hurley at WMD. The one good thing I will say about Matt is that he is man enough to let me post on his blog without deleting my comments. Of course, some people may ask: why do I spend my time posting on a blog that is 1,330,232 spots behind us in the rankings? Well, my response is that I hope somewhere among the tumbleweeds that make up Matt’s audience is the occasional truth seeker.
I KNOW for a fact that my support of Tom Brinkman will bring him at least 298 votes this primary (that’s the number of people that actually wrote in my name in 2006 against Schmidt.) Since Matt does not even live in Ohio-2, and not many people read his blog anyway, I wonder what his impact for Schmidt will be?

Jean Schmidt’s shill Nathan Bailey
By Nate Noy
Quick question: if you were an unpopular and corrupt Congresswomen how would you try to siphon off some of the anti-incumbent vote in a dangerously close primary election?
Answer: find a shill to help split the anti-Schmidt vote.
Below is what the Cincinnati Enquirer had to say about Nathan Bailey:
Nathan N. Bailey
Bailey, 26, is an accountant who lives in Stonelick Township in Clermont County.
His campaign has been chiefly an online effort, with Facebook and MySpace pages. He said he joined the race largely to encourage young conservative Republicans like himself to vote. He said he admires Schmidt, and that his chief advantage over her would be “I could serve for 40 years.”
Bailey said he has spent $1,355, but accepted only $250 in donations, turning down other offers.
I’ll have to give a “hat’s off” to Schmidt and her corrupt cronies on this one. Everyone knows there will be 50-55% of the voters next Tuesday that won’t pull the lever for Jean Schmidt on a bet. Her ONLY prayer to beat Tom Brinkman is to hope the people in Pike, Scioto, Brown, and Adams Counties (the four counties Bob McEwen trounced her in back in the 2006 primary) accidentally vote for Bailey instead of Brinkman.
Anyone, and I mean ANYONE that “admires Schmidt” is either as corrupt and dishonest as she is, or a shill for her. I hope in the case of Nathan Bailey it is simply the latter. However, once Schmidt is indicted, convicted, or whatever this summer anyone that has been duped into supporting her will certainly feel like the world’s biggest fool. I just hope the voters in Ohio-2 next Tuesday are educated enough to vote for the ONLY OPTION on the ballot: Tom Brinkman.

The Truth about Jean Schmidt
By Nate Noy
What keeps you up at night? People that know me would tell you it’s the thought of having the likes of Bob Ney or Rick Renzi “represent” me in Congress. Jean Schmidt has more than a few things in common with these disgraced Congressmen, the most important of which to me is that fact that they ALL are LIARS.
People have asked me: “why do you detest Jean Schmidt as you do?” Well, my pet peeve in life is lying, and Jean Schmidt may be the mother of all liars. I’m also not a big fan of corrupt politicians that only stand for the people that fund their campaigns. Jean Schmidt can NEVER be trusted and anyone that casts a vote for her is either too lazy to research the truth or a mindless part of the establishment.
I KNOW I’ll be able to sleep at night after I cast my vote for Tom Brinkman on March 4th, I just wonder how anyone that votes for Jean Schmidt will be able to do the same.

Tom Brinkman NOT corrupt enough for Congress
By Nate Noy
Most Americans agree that our current 435 “representatives” in Congress are collectively one of the most vile and untrustworthy groups in this great nation’s history. Those of us that have inside knowledge of how Washington DC “really” works know that most politicians at that level are bought and paid for by special interest groups. Sure there is the occasional honest Congressman, but for the most part the character of the members is fairly consistent with recent approval ratings (which hover somewhere around 20% or below.) I for one KNOW that Tom Brinkman does not fit the “norm” for this group.
I personally have had two memorable discussions with politicians in the past 18 months. The first was when I had the pleasure of deposing our “esteemed” Congresswoman Jean Schmidt. I had a number of questions that Jean was forced to answer under oath since my case was before the Ohio Elections Commission. When Schmidt was asked about October 24, 1993 she remembered the day as if she had just watched a movie about it. She stated that she “had to use the restroom [sic]’ before the race and that the line was too long. She added that she thought she would use it during the race but decided to hold it for 3 hours and 19+ minutes.” This recall ability was consistent with an article the Cincinnati Enquire wrote on July 31, 2005 stating that Schmidt had a “file card memory.”
The perplexing thing about Schmidt’s incredible memory was the sworn testimony she gave before the OEC on April 20, 2006. Excerpts from this include:
Q. Is that a B.S. or a B.A.?
A. I'm not sure. I think it's a B.A., or is it a Bachelor of Science? I don't know. I would have to say I don't know.
Q. And when did you start pursuing, then, the master's of education degree at UC?
A. I'm not sure.
Q. When did you stop attending the classes in pursuit of the master's?
A. I'm not sure.
Q. Do you know what years -- after 1974, do you know what years specifically you attended classes at UC?
A. I'm not sure.
Q. To your knowledge, did you attend any classes after 1986?
A. I'm not sure.
Q. And have you ever received a degree in social studies?
A. I'm not sure.
Q. What classes would you have taken that would make you unsure or make it a possibility that you would have obtained a degree in social studies?
A. I don't know.
Q. You completed some course work in 1986 at UC, is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. That was in pursuit of the master's degree, is that right?
A. I'm not sure.
Q. Have you ever had a teaching certificate?
A. Yes.
Q. When was that?
A. I'm not sure.
Q. When you completed your course work, then you also had to do certain hours of teaching, isn't that correct?
A. I don't know.
Q. What is your understanding of the certificate that you had?
A. I don't have any understanding of the certificate that I have.
We ALL know how the above turned out for Jean Schmidt, the OEC found her GUILTY of lying about her FAKE college degree and gave her a public reprimand for a “reckless disregard for truth” and making "false and misleading statements."
Of course this is par for the course for Schmidt who also taken campaign contributions from lobbyists trying to bring a nuclear waste dump to Pike county, plagiarized another congresswoman’s opt ed piece, and voted to destroy our economy by raising the rates of unemployment and inflation with her support of the minimum wage increase. Jean Schmidt fits right in with Congress from any honest person’s perspective.
My other memorable moment was a meeting I had with Tom Brinkman in June. I had only actually met Tom once prior at the Anderson Township GOP picnic in August 2006; I had called Tom and asked for a few minutes of his time in Columbus to discuss the 2008 election. Tom got caught up in a subcommittee meeting and I arrived early, so I sat in the lobby on the floor he shares with 8-10 other State Reps in Columbus for about 1 ½ hours. During that time I saw about 20 different lobbyists come and go, all had meetings with the other 8-9 State Reps that share the same floor as Tom, NONE had meetings with Tom. I also had a chat with Tom’s assistant and it became pretty clear that the lobbyists KNEW they were wasting their time playing “politics as usual” with Tom, because Tom simply does not play that game.
While I was researching Jean Schmidt I reviewed about six years worth of the official record of the Ohio House. I wanted to see how Jean voted and I personally verified that she had in fact been a puppet for Bob Taft and Larry Householder and voted for every single tax increase and expanded government intervention proposed by her puppet masters. However, the thing I remember the most from reviewing these votes was the number of 98-1 votes in the record. The topics of legislation ranged from tax increases to expanding the reach of various state government agencies and programs, and I was amazed how many times a single vote was cast for NO TAX INCREASES and limited government. Tom had stood against the lobbyists, the Democrats and even his own Republican Party on so many occasions it was almost mind boggling. That’s when I thought to myself, “Wow, here is a politician that actually has a set of beliefs and sticks to them.”
When I actually sat down with Tom and had a talk ALL of my initial perceptions about his beliefs and character were reinforced. Talking with Tom was like sitting down and talking with one of my friends, he came across as a genuine and honest person, and I NEVER would have taken him for a politician if I did not already know what his job was. The other thing that stuck with me from the meeting was that Tom had to wrap it up about 3:30pm because he was going back to Cincinnati for the night, like he did EVERY night to spend time with his wife and kids. While the other State Reps spent the afternoon meeting with lobbyists and being wined and dined after hours, Tom was in his car driving back to Cincinnati and later at home enjoying his nightly quality family time.
“Change” has become a hop topic as of late. I KNOW that Tom Brinkman would bring a serious change to Congress by adding an individual that actually can be trusted, believes in the same type of government that our Founding Fathers believed in and will stand for the beliefs of the conservatives that overwhelmingly make up the base of Ohio-2. Jean Schmidt on the other hand (who likely will not even survive the general election if she does win the primary) is THE candidate for those in the controlling elite and lobbyists that want the “game” to go on as usual.
