Boehner responds to sheriff’s potential challenge
From this story in today’s Dayton Daily News:
(John) Boehner, the (U.S.) House Minority Leader, seemed undeterred by a possible primary challenge next year. On Tuesday, Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones took out a petition to run for Congress in the 8th Congressional District, which Boehner has represented since 1990.
Jones, who has garnered a national and sometimes controversial reputation for his strong comments against illegal immigration, said he is forming an exploratory committee to decide whether to run.
Boehner said his focus was on issues other than the congressional race. “My focus is on trying to help our economy, trying to control the size of government in Washington, and trying to make sure American families and small businesses get to keep more of what they earn in order to get the economy going again,” he said. “And I’m looking forward to continuing to serve the constituents of the 8th Congressional District.”
Go here for our online poll. The results so far:

I hope that Jones does run. I would vote for him in a heartbeat. Boehner is nothing but a Good Ol’ Boy out for himself and his buddies.

Boehner has never done anything for the district. I want to hear if Jones is willing to bring home the bacon and get some of our tax dollars back.

What’s going to be the most interesting is watching to see where the local politicians line up in this race. They have kissed to feet of both these idiots for years and now they are going to have to actually pick a village idiot.

Wiz is right, poor old Jolly who’s running his self next year is bound to get caught in the cross fire between these two big guns. Already sounds like he’s dumping old Rickie.

If the sheriff is going to spend time running for Congress he should resign as sheriff. There is no way he can give both the attention they need.

Mr Boehner is a presidential “wanna be.” Look who is standing behind former President George W Bush in many of the photos of the former President.He’s been in office for almost 20 years and has done nearly next to nothing for his constituents.

Mr Jones please stay where you are. You are doing an excellent job and who knows what we would get next.

Sheriff Jones is all action and little talk. He can put a campaign sign in my yard anytime.
