I am not sure what the smoking gun is here. Schmidt was opposed to the raising of the drinking age? How horribe. Help me with some of this, please.

Probably something about referring to a ton of Reagan delegates as, "young Hitlers" and booing Elizabeth Dole at the Republican convention. How convenient you overlook that.

Well, doing both those things would seem to put her in the center of Republican politics somewhere between the "young Hitlers" and the wishy-washy Elizabeth Dole.

Ya, she was passionate in a discourteous and ineffectual way. That is a character flaw in her, to this day. But it is not a smoking gun. Many, and indeed perhaps a majority. of polticians. have character flaws. Being a human being sucks. We are imperfect.

It should be noted that her ill-advised "young Hitlers" remark if it did, indeed happen (smears from the Hill) was in dismay that the kids were so dour that they put a bad face on the conservative movement. So, she was, if anything, being too faithful to the cause.

“I hate that woman,” she told the reporter. “I just can’t stand her. Anyone who wants to force an increase in the drinking age to 21. … She can send our boys off to fight wars when they’re 17 and 18 but won’t let them drink till they’re 21.”

She added, “That stinks.”

Absolutely right on and the worst thing about it was the way they got it past in all 50 states blackmailing the states with threats to cut off the highway funds unless the drinking age wasrasied to 21 because a prohibitionist crusader got her pantys in a bunch the same woman that was crusading during her failed presidential run to get all ak 47s off the street because in her words "why would a civilian need an ak 47"" well lizzy dolt why dont you go to south central la and ask any Korean grocer that question and see what answers you get.I hate the woman too.
