DISCUSSION: IS SCHURING TAKING THE HIGH-ROAD IN CAMPAIGN AGAINST BOCCIERI? OR, IS HIS STATEMENT DISINGENUOUS?





























The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) sees 16th district Congressional candidate state Senator Kirk Schuring as a somewhat classy guy who has, in the past, demonstrated political maturity.

The Report is not surprised at the quote attributed to Schuring (see above) in an Akron Beacon Journal article on 527 radio ads that Freedom's Watch is running on local radio stations.

Yesterday The Report was speaking with a Canton source who was listening to the Ron Ponder show on WHBC when the 527 ad came on.

The source was indignant with Schuring at the airing of the ad.

The question The Report has is this. Is it fair to tie Schuring to the 527 ad?

The Boccieri folks aren't so quick to exonerate Schuring. Boccieri is quoted as accusing Schuring of being part of the 527 effort.

Question: What do you think? Is Schuring declamation for real? Or, is, as Boccieri asserts, is this a case of a person protesting too loudly?
