Marine Reserve Colonel Danny Bubp - The Man Who Called Schmidt

Read all about Ohio Rep. Danny Bubp, Swiftboat Professional.

Jean Schmidt: "A few minutes ago, I received a call from Colonel Danny Bubp, Ohio Representative from the 88th district in the (Ohio) House of Representatives...he asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message: That cowards cut and run; Marines never do."

In December of 2003, Col. Bubp was quoted as such in the Cincinnati Post:

http://www.cincypost.com/2003/12/23/soldiers12-23-2003.html

Danny Bubp, a West Union attorney and a Marine Corps Reserve colonel who is not going to Iraq, said about 300 people recently turned out at a rally for local troops headed for Iraq.

"There is much anxiety, worry and concern," he said. "People know we're losing a soldier just about every day in Iraq. "There's been a lot of tears, a lot of emotion and a lot of support for these men."

Col. Bubp and Jean Schmidt go back. Back, at least, to when he maligned Marine Major Paul Hackett's criticism of the President during the OH-2 special election:

AT VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK in Union Township, 50 supporters of Jean Schmidt gathered beneath a full-size decommissioned Huey helicopter, mounted on a pedestal like a hunting trophy. It was two days before the special election, and Schmidt had put together a vets’ event to counter Hackett’s military appeal. Marine Corps Reserve Colonel Danny Bubp, a local Republican state representative, was sweating in his dress uniform and telling the crowd that as a military officer, “one thing you don’t do is disparage your commander in chief.”

Col. Bubp on Hackett at the same event, from the Cincinnati Enquirer:

http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050801/NEWS01/508010350

Bubp - who, like Hackett, is a Marine Corps Reserve officer - stood under the helicopter's wings in his military dress uniform, saying that the one thing military officers do not do "is criticize their commander in chief."

"I served for eight years under a president who loathed the military but we never said a word about it," Bubp said.

I did find this blurb that says Bubp served at the US Central Command during the Iraq war:

http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/10/29/loc_ohiohouse88dist29.html

Bubp represented the West Union School District in the Ten Commandments court battle, and during the Iraq war, the Marine Reserve colonel worked at U.S. Central Command.

Look, I know Colonel Bubp is 63, and likes to make last-minute phone calls urging Jean Schmidt to smear Democrats. That's clear.

But since when is does it honor the Marine Corps Code of Conduct to smear fellow, currently-serving officers, let alone retired ones, let alone retired, decorated veterans such as John Murtha?

I was wondering who he was.

... clearly making an attempt to use his past service to sway opinion, like he can speak for all service personnel... He is just another puppet of the administration.

.. as she launched a nuclear attack on decorated veteran Murtha.

She blatantly swift-boated him, as likely instructed to do by leadership, kind of a "hazing ritual," if you will.

And Col. Bubp was her vessel.

... she was the "new kid"... I guess they wanted to toss her onto the hate list quickly... Get her used to be used by the "Old guys"

An invaluable piece of research. Col. Bubp (wtf kind of name is that?) obviously likes to read his name in the newspaper.

that a Marine would just stand there & get killed rather than retreat to a tactically advantageous position?

Mad props to drb in GD: Politics

I hadn't seen that mug in ages.

Thanks for nothin, ohio_lib! :puke:

It's downright treasonous the way Bubp and Schmidt have slandered both Hackett and Murtha.

Politics over humanity.

Glad to have all this background info. Thanks for taking the time to post it. Can't wait to call her office on Monday. What a piece of crap she is.

for what it is...and it's a disgrace.

fighter who wrote her out of the blue.

Utterly shameless, these people. They keep beating their own records of how low they can go.

... and making it even more so. Her interjection of Bubp into this debate was misleading as well as derogatory.

Where would they get that idea?

They are about to see their illusions shattered.
Kudos to VolcanoJen for her research. :thumbsup:

And Clinton loathed the military? WTF? Look at what George freakin Bush is doing to the military! He's killing them off one by one or wounding them phyiscally or emotionally or mentally! He isn't giving them the protection they need and he's lied about war!!! How can you loathe the military any more?!

That's what they do every day for Jaysus.

By the way, Ohio. . .you need to kick Jeanie's butt all the way home....and let state Sen. "Ten Commandments" Bubp know that he's not a representative for the Baptist Council. . .he's supposed to represent and defend the interests of EVERY person in Ohio.

Republican slime!

...for political activity, not so much.



I wonder if Colonel Bubpkis helped Schmidtee pick out that ticky-tacky, starry-stripe frock she wore for her debut as Patrionic Spokesmodel (and national embarrassment).

... between Schmidt and Hackett?

From the linked article above:

Marine Corps Reserve Colonel Danny Bubp, a local Republican state representative, was sweating in his dress uniform and telling the crowd that as a military officer, “one thing you don’t do is disparage your commander in chief.”

Apparently, he violated that directive when he war his dress uniform to give a pro-Schmidt speech. And he got it all sweaty, too.

Since when is it not every American's right (and arguably duty) to tell the truth as (s)he sees it?

And as I see it, telling the truth about the Bush administration these days sounds to the Bush Administration and the rest of the neocons as if it were a smear (and never mind how much they untruthfully smeared Clinton).

Reminds me of Harry Truman's comment: "I never did 'Give 'em hell; I just tell the truth and they think its hell."
