SIERRA VISTA — Promising people some straight talk — a page from Arizona Republican U.S. Sen. John McCain’s campaign style — Jonathan Paton spoke about his credentials and why he should be the GOP candidate to take on incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
While there are four other GOP candidates in the race for the party’s nod to seek Arizona’s 8th Congressional seat, Paton is spending most of his energy running against Giffords’ two-term record.

compares him to McCain right off the bat? Hey, Herald…how about some real
NON-BIASED reporting for a while? The Democrats thinking is that because
there are jobs here it is our fault for the illegal immigrant situation. It
is comparable to the cops coming to your house and telling you it was your
fault you were robbed, because you had things the robber needed.
Paton probably wants to be compared to McCain. Were you there Windsor? Sounds
like he was parroting McCain and his “straight talk” moderation. His primary
opposition are dead in the water and he is running against Giffords now. Time
to move to the center. Paton already has the Palinista vote in the general
election and he needs the votes of the 95% of S. Arizonians that aren’t
pinheads. Do you understand politics at all? LOL
It’s amazing that Democrats would blame the US for Mexicans crossing the
border illegally. Paton must be elected to remove these left wing
hate-America liberals. As long as Republicans take a the position that
protecting the lives and property of US citizens is the main priority they
will win in November.
According to Paton, the Democrats blame the US. Well, according to me, an
independent, Mr Paton just brought in a truckful of pregnant Mexican
teenagers this morning. My saying it doesn’t make it true. If blaming
employers who provide the inducement to cross the border is blaming the US,
then I guess I am guilty. The responses to the Herald editorial about the
Phoenix Sizzler arrests seem to indicate that anyone who does take the
position that unethical employers are complicitous in the immigration problem
is branded by this community as a “whiny liberal.” Don’t worry, your guy
Paton will do fine, he doesn’t require his constituents to figure out any big
words or do any thinkin’ that’ll make their heads hurt.
Amazing that republicans refuse to punish those that hire illegals or fix the
ridiculous immigration system that we have…well not really. I am sure
however wins will have have a really simple solution that like always will
not work. Simpletons like simple..the rest don’t bother voting.
It is a Democrat president and Democrat congress right now who are refusing
to punish those who hire illegals and who are ignoring the ridiculous
immigration system. Bush has been out of office and the Dems have had
congress since 2006…so I think you need to come to terms with the present.
Will the repubicans ever take responsibility for anything or will they always
just sit back and place blame? Remember it was the repubicans that wanted
amnesty passed. …
I’ve said the last three admins have been wrong on this issue, but what do
you want the Republicans to do there, THEY AREN’T IN POWER, HELLO!! You keep
wanting to point fingers at people who aren’t in power, what is that going to
do exactly? Before Bush, there was Clinton, who wanted the same thing. I have
said previously that Clinton and Bush did nothing on this issue, what you are
saying is complete, political bull. You can say that till the cows come home
and it won’t change anything, so what is YOUR point? You still are worried
about Palin LOL!! Election is over!!! You do nothing but whine and point
fingers—I hate to break it to you, but the Democrats have been in control of
Congress since 2006—FOUR YEARS!!! Bush has been gone for almost TWO!!!! WAKE
UP!!!
IAM4TRUTH: While discussing party politics, you forgot to mention the Tea
Party. Didn’t you know they are also in the running. Also the Socialist
party…you did not mention them. You truly are hung up on party politics,
aren’t you?
