Flip-Flopper?

Is Jean Schmidt a flip-flopper? The Cincinnati FOP is looking into it. You see, last year she told the FOP that she supported capital punishment. This year, when she filled out a questionnaire for a suburban republican club, she answered that she opposes death sentences. I actually wonder if Schmidt know that capital punishment and the death penalty are the same thing.

Her response so far? From Openers:

When the police union sought clarification, Harrell said, Schmidt's office faxed the federal criminal code about capital punishment and a statement saying the congresswoman favors execution of terrorists.

That's far from answering the question.

Openers also has a funny story about Schmidt. When she decided to skip the Anderson Township Republican Club's candidate debate, the club actually invited Rachel Dratch, who infamously played Schmidt on SNL, to step in for her. Unfortunately, she also declined to attend. That would have been hilarious.
