BUCK JONES FOR PRESIDENT

I never saw a Buck Jones movie that I know of. But I like the title Straight from the Shoulder. And I'd love to see that in politicians.

I'm so tired of half truths, spins, slanted reports, and blatant outright lies that I'm starting to believe that the US does get the leaders we deserve.

I'm convinced that either party would rather injure the country than hurt their own party. Or worded perhaps better, they'd wreck the country to assure that their party got in office. That's just not right.

To criticize, lambaste, denigrate the other candidate for their own political gain just doesn't appeal to me. In an election that was dearest to my heart, when our son ran closely but unsuccessfully for State's Attorney in 2004, there was plenty of opportunity for both sides to sling mud. Neither did, in one of the cleanest run campaigns I've witnessed at the local, state or national level.

Why politics has to be so underhanded, so negative, well there's no wonder we don't have any better candidates than we do running for the top office in the land

Give me Buck Jones. I don't care what party he represents. If he's a straight shooter, then he has my vote.
