Sheriff Blasts McCain For Silence On Illegal Immigration (Ohio)

Sen. John McCain visited Liberty Township for a Thursday fundraiser, but a fellow Republican will not be in attendance.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones took out a half-page newspaper ad blasting the presidential candidate’s stance on illegal immigration, and similar ads are planned for other Ohio and New York newspapers.

“Before I'm a Republican, I'm an American, and this is an American issue, and I can say what I think,” Jones said.

why are you mentioning Graham?

I mention Graham because he has been up McCain's rear for years.

Haven't you been watching? Graham was a part of the old Gang of 14. Why do you think Graham is called McCain Junior by many?

Graham certainly expects a big pay-off for that.

Indeed my skin crawls every time I hear either of these "misfits".

You stay safe. We Americans love you all dearly, and wish you God speed to come home and rebuild.

BTW ... Thanks for your great web page.

This old Sea Bee salutes you!

Ping...second thread on Sheriff Jones...

When it comes to illegal aliens, both have an unacceptable agenda - both are willing to sell out this country. He probably blasted McCain because McCain was visiting. Also, McCain has taken a more frenzied role in pushing his agenda - even losing control and screaming obscenities at senators who do not agree with him on this issue.

I never expected the GOP to nominate someone this far to the left on illegal aliens and incapable to fight WOT. The biggest threat to this country comes from the open borders and illegal aliens. The planes on 9/11 did not take off from Iraq but from American soil.

Why isn’t he “blasting” both McCain and Obama?

Obama is even worse.

I guess we expect more from the Republicans than the dems (but after the last 7 years I don't know why.)

[Tammy8]

I think we all know McCain is horrible on the border issues- my question is who is better that has any chance of being elected?

I decided to go with McCain because I am convinced Obama will trash the military and I am sure McCain will be a better President for our military.

Both are crap this election is a joke.

"Just what are presidential campaigns for?"

You don't need the campaign, you can look at how they voted.

They both support the amnesty part of comprehensive immigration reform, with slight differences.

MaCain supports a guest worker program, but Obama, dems, and unions want to limit that because guest workers are hard for the union to organize. Obama voted for the the Dorgan amendment to sunset the guest workers.

McCain supports employee verification and linking Real ID to verification. Obama voted for the Tester amendment to block Real ID and co-authored the amendment to block verification.

On border enforcement, Obama is philosophically opposed to more, but will go along with it because it creates lots and lots of good govt union jobs.

I am not so sure McCain is better for the military. I have found his treatment of our POW/MIA and their families highly offensive. His lack of knowledge regarding borders of Iraq, the difference between Shi’ites and Sunnis, etc. is scary.

If only McCain would have been silent.

If only.

Obama is EXPECTED to be horrible on the subject. The Republican Nominee for POTUS is not.

[Grunthor]

“His lack of knowledge regarding borders of Iraq”

He’s not real big on borders.

[Tammy8]

I agree with you on all that, and yet I am convinced Obama would be so much worse.

Great election we have coming up- neither candidate has any business being President. Not even close.

[Fred]

Needs to blast Obama too....

[Rastus]

Obama didn’t write the legislation and it isn’t his driving issue. McCain makes it worse for himself by “blaming” Obama for the failure of the amnesty legislation.

I wouldn’t blast McCain for his silence on illegal immigration. I’d blast him for the times he opens his mouth about it.

[robert david]

I guess he wants Obama to be elected.

[brytlea]

The difference is, McCain voters (some of the, probably many/most of them) do care. Obama voters don’t (which is not really true, as some of my democrat friends are very adament about *those people* being here—but they will still vote for Obama because...well....he makes them feel hopeful)!

This what America WANTS!

 

The Second American Revolution:

Thomas Paine, author of "Common Sense," returns to modern times to plead for a second revolution to take back America, Now!

[robert david]

Absolute rubbish. This is not the same as what the founding fathers were fighting for. They were fighting for representative government. Those who would take up arms against a government elected by the American people are nothing short of want-to-be dictators and terrorists who refuse to respect the will of the people and instead seek to force their rule on the rest of us.

Real Americans will never allow that to happen and will back our elected government wholeheartedly in dealing with such miscreants.
