CoinGate Update

The Toledo Blade has an interesting accounting of who got how much from the infamous Mr. Noe.

I'm left with one question: if all this money supposedly came from the Ohio workers' compensation fund, why is it now being given to charity?

This whole ordeal has illustrated that the Ohio GOP is out of touch with the constituency they supposedly represent. While a politican can't screen EVERY contributer, it is important to get to the bottom of the matter as quickly as possible and make things right even faster. I don't see that happening. WHy? The Ohio GOP isn't interested in principled leadership, but rather in continuing to build the "big tent" and win more elections. This is what politics has always been and the Ohio GOP seems bent on maintaining the status quo. Every day they become more like the lunatic fringe that has taken over the Democratic Party...and it saddens me.
