Sheriff Blasts McCain For Silence On Illegal Immigration

Jones Would Rather 'Watch Paint Dry' Than Attend Fundraiser

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.

In the ad, the sheriff asks McCain why voters hadn’t heard his policy on illegal immigration, an issue about which Jones is particularly outspoken.

“Are you avoiding this American issue?” the ad asks. “We are all ears.”

Jones, who wants the border sealed and illegal immigrants deported, said he feels McCain has sold out the Republican Party and the U.S. by remaining silent.

“Believe me, he won't discuss this issue at all in the next 90 days,” Jones said. “He doesn't want to talk about it at all, (and) I'm going to talk about it everywhere in Ohio.”

A campaign representative said Thursday that McCain would secure the border as president, but the Arizona Republican believes there should be a comprehensive solution for illegal immigration.

Jones said he did not know whether McCain would discuss the ad during his Tri-state fundraiser, but he added that he would not be there to find out.

“I'm not paying $5,000 to have my picture with McCain,” Jones said. “I'm going to stay home and watch paint dry.”

However, Jones said he hadn’t ruled out voting for McCain.

If you haven't dismissed McCain outright, you aren't quite there yet Mr. Jones.

And there lies the problem.

There are a lot of people who know/knew that McCain and Bush are garbage, but wind up voting for them anyway because of "lesser evil" talk.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
