Boehner needs to be removed from Office. The utmost lie, claiming that he is Conservative...He glee fully voted for the Bush/Paulson Bailout paln (an extremely Socialistic and treasonous plan).
Then turns arounds and says that He is opposed to Washington's Tax and Spend policies.
He is the Wolf in Sheeps clothing...much worse than just a regular Wolf; like Obama, Ted Kennedy, Pelosi, Feinstein, etc.

I think you have made a great sherrif for butler county. We need you here to continue your work for Butler County. You would be a freshman in congress and freshman has a hard timne getting any thing done in Washington. Senority rules up there. I know we need new people up there, but most people doese not seem to think so. They keep sending the same ones back and look what a mess the country is in now.

I am disappointed at Boehner's performance. He as fallen into the political mold and become nothing more than another politician. Both Dems and Repubs and been having a party at the taxpayer expense. THE PARTY IS OVER! We need people from the grass roots to start running for LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS…the American way. This needs to start now. If a goodly amount of grass roots public servants are elected in 2010, this silliness of the political parties will come to an end.

While we agrue over Republican or Democrat, both parties have the same goal, expanding government and their influence. Republicans and Democrats have put us in this position. Both parties offer solutions, but why would we expect solutions from the folks that created the problem. It's a agenda and it is their agenda, not ours. We better wake up now or wake up later to a country we do not recognize.

Boehner has never send a dollar back to the district claiming he's against earmarks and pork. Yet he has time and again voted for bills that included large earmarks for other congressional districts. I pay my federal taxes and I'd like to see some of it come back to the district. I'm tired of Boehner blowing hot air and never taking a real stand, at least we'll know were Rick Jones stands and he won't tell us one thing and then vote another.

While I agree with the sheriff's views, radicals like him will get us no where in Washington. He does more good on the outside, bringing his thoughts to Washington. The media loves it.

I absolutely respect Sheriff Jones. I believe he would do the right things in Washington and offer a perspective that few of the Bigwigs there even care to consider. I for one am 100% behind putting a Sheriff in Washington. He'll kick some **** and take names. ***** just runs his mouth and does nothing.

Boehner is arrogant and have done nothing for us. He doesn't care about the little guy. He just wants to line the pockets of his right wing Republicans. Let's say bye-bye to Boehner!!!!

As for Sheriff Jones I do believe he should stay where he is as Sherriff because I believe he would be Another Arlene Specter.
Anyone who is thinking of abanbdoning his party and Running Independant speaks volumen's on where that person loyality lies.

Boehner represents the type of career Washington politician we need to kick out regardless of party.

It's time for Boehner to get out of Washington. The Republican Party he represents is a mess, no thanks to him and the "daddy and sonny" Bush's total screwing up of all that was accomplished during Regan's terms. Gingrich gets no pass here either! The GOP needs to be totally reformed up an into a new name and identity! There's nothing "grand" about it republicans at all, they are indeed just "OLD"!!!!!!

VietVet - I couldn't agree more. Boehner hasn't done a thing for this area. He spends his time representing the GOP, not the 8th district.

Again, what has Boehner accomplished for the people that he has represented all these years? Someone who has been a follower of this guy, please list what he has done for this area since being a West Chester trustee in the 80's. Any legislation? Any money for the area? Any jobs created as a result of him being in office? Anything? If not, then why do you keep putting him in Wash.?
