DISCUSSION: A FORMER PARTY CHAIRMAN WHO ALL OF A SUDDEN IS FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT?

The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) agrees with former Stark County Republican Party Chairman Curt Braden that Democrats should not be gaming the system on the Dann scandal.

And, The Report, believes because of the strong moral leadership of Democrat Governor Ted Strickland, gaming will not occur. Reports are streaming across the Internet as I write that Dann is expected to resign at 4:45 p.m. today.

Braden is hardly the one who ought to be writing a letter to the editor (The Repository - 5/14/2008).

Braden didn't write any letters to The Rep condemning Tom Noe of Coingate fame.

Braden didn't write any letters to The Rep condemning Bob Taft of taking illegal gifts fame.

Braden didn't write any letters to The Rep condemning Bob Ney of Abramhoff scandal fame.

Stark County voters have to be sick and tired of the likes of Curt Braden who ignore the sins of their partisans but then go public in blasting the other side.

The Report, of course, has seen the same kind of conduct from Stark County Democratic Chair Johnnie A. Maier, Jr. when tables are turned.

These men are not primarily concerned about good government. They are about their respective political parties and the political gain they can garner as a consequence of the sins of the opposition party. They are political sharks who circle around when they smell blood.

Voters should not pay any attention whatsoever to the Curt Braden's of the world.

Hypocrites are not credible people.
