Straight talk Hackett "paints Schmidt as a Rubber Stamp" in last debate

Schmidt said the Bush polices on Iraq are succeeding, saying, "The seeds of democracy have been planted. Democracy is on the march."

Hackett, who served seven months with a Marine civil affairs unit, said the reality on the ground is not what the Bush administration paints it to be.

"It's not pretty over there, it's not Hollywood, and we are not spreading democracy," Hackett said.

Candidate George W. Bush said in the 2000 presidential campaign that he would not engage America in nation-building, Hackett said.

"Guess what, folks?" he said. "We're nation-building."

When asked if they thought Congress should be involved in "what are perceived as religious issues," Schmidt said, "the better question is whether I am going to take my moral values to Washington, and the answer is, I will.

"People know I am opposed to abortion completely and I am the candidate who is against gay marriage,'' Schmidt said.

Hackett said it is his belief that the government should stay out of religious issues.

"Religion is the responsibility of families and churches, not the government," Hackett said.

If the people in Ohio do not vote Hackett in, then maybe our next target for Nation building should be that district!

of Hacketts -

clean out the DLC scum and replace them with straight talkers, kick assers, take no prisoners Democrats and watch this party take on a whole new dimension -

The DLC is scared to death that this might happen and upset their little centrist apple cart -- well, I say the sooner the better.

Than people think. Its a good measurement to what we are up against in 06.

And the rest of the country will sit up and take notice.
