Stan, why don't you run against Jones in the Congressional primary? He has been disappointing us with many of his votes lately, and now he has really stepped across the line with the endorsement of Arthur Obamacare Williams. Please think about. We need someone who has the backbone to stand up to the Washington DC establishment and the Raleigh establishment.

Walter Jones was supposed to do as he agreed to do, long ago, and submit to voluntary term limits as per the "Contract with America."
Career politicians bring few new good ideas to the dais, and Walter is no different. I feel like it is time for myself to take another voluntary retirement from the county commission in 2014. I took a two-year hiatus in 2002. There is one caveat; however, to me stepping down: I promised Hood that we would find someone who had enough political and intellectual backbone to stand up to the special interests group that would sell off the people's government bit by bit. We both know those qualities when we see them, and neither of us are easily impressed. The fire does get rather hot at its core. As a relative point of interest, a Walter Jones would not have that "right stuff" that Hood or I are seeking for the Beaufort County Commission. It's remarkable how a 9 term Republican congressman, and a 5 term Democrat NC Senator does not measure up to the Hood / Stan vision of a politician who could stand tall enough to weather local Beaufort County politics. I quit supporting Walter long ago, when he reneged on his agreement with the "Contract with America." One's word should be their bond, especially for a politician in our representative form of government. |
Jones endorsement was a result of 1) a request from Thom Tillis who wants a sock puppet instead of a legislator from our district and knows that Williams fits that bill and 2) $1,000 payment to Jones from Williams (check his campaign reports). Jones has been brownnosing the DC beltway establishment lately, which is why he voted against conservatives on the key vote on the debt ceiling increase, and why beltway establishment enforcer Eric Cantor came to NC to endorse Jones in Jones' primary. I guess it is just one more step to brownnose the squish we have as an NC House Speaker. Endorsing Awful Arthur Williams is one more big indicator that Jones needs to be put out to pasture.

Here in eastern North Carolina, the big money boys will only give money to politician's, who will sell off their people's government, and whatever integrity the politician had when they started. There are plenty of good ole boys, who don't understand that you better start electing smarter people to serve with integrity - not less - and soon.
I have been watching this for decades now, and it is apparently not getting any better, but fortunately, not getting any worse.
There is one change; however, the internet, and the Tea Party.
The internet has the power to educate, and the Tea Party is a vessell for the good grass roots folks, who, at times to people like me, seem a bit naive or under educated on some issues, but they are good people, with good intentions, and they are eventually getting it right.
And you know something, they are getting smarter, and I do believe they will stay true to their hard won wisdom.
Right now for me: The internet to educate and inform, and the folks in the Tea Party - because of their devotion and their inspiration - may be America's greatest hope.
I'm counting on it.
