More Turns Than a Mardi Gras Parade...

He'll say whatever he needs to for the situation. It doesn't matter if he contradicts himself. A few examples:

"But all too often, that promised support never materialized ..."
- Coughlin, Letter, August 14, 2007

"I've never argued that (Arshinkoff) can't raise money,"
- Coughlin, Akron Beacon Journal, August 29, 2007

"This year's Summit County Republican fundraising drive has once again failed to raise enough money to cover the local party's promises."
- Coughlin, "New Summit Republicans" website, September 3, 2007

Makes John Kerry look like a paragon of clarity, doesn't it? Why let consistency and honesty get in the way of a good smear campaign?

Notwithstanding Senator Coughlin's bluster, the Summit County Republican Party's 2007-2008 fundraising is on target. Perhaps if Senator Coughlin participated in the Finance Committee rather than just knocking it (and asking for contributions from the party to the Senate Caucus), he would understand the party's budget better and he would get to observe and participate in the Finance Committee's work in reviewing and approving the budget.

When's the last time Coughlin gave money to the local party. Or does he just take to finance his extravagant campaigns...I wonder if his contributors like him using their money to fund this smear campaign against the local party...
