I don't quite understand your reasoning. Jones is a nice guy but he couldn't win, and it wasn't because of Simon. Jones can't raise money, never has been able to. Jones is 100% behind Simon, and has done several events with him.

Don't believe everything you read. Some of the hits on Simon are valid, others are outright lies (such as Davis' hit ad). Simon is a bright guy with good ideas who is from outside politics (THANK GOD!). I, for one, am tired of career politicians who think they know what's good for everyone, and we'd better just sit back and take it.

Go Simon!

Of course Jones is behind him. Jones is a decent person. But to be honest.. Jones isn't a "party" guy, in that he is willing to say what he feels is right. THough I would disagree with him backing McCain, that is the ONLY reason he didn't get the backing of the Republican Party!!

Everyone in the Republican Party was putting all their cards on the table with Riordan. But Riordan is a lib in disguise, and that failed miserably. But Simon has a lot of skeletons in his closet. I don't mean the things that Davis is bringing up.. but I think you WILL see Simon answering a lot of awkward questions, and I think (with all due respect) supporters like you will feel uncomfortable with some of his answers. LOOK/LISTEN to see if he REALLY answers the questions.. or if he spins,K?

Bill Jones has a wonderful track record. Both in how he votes, and the issues he has backed. I personally liked his three strikes law. Some are complaining "Well, now we have people in jail who only committed LITTLE crimes".. to them I say.. I NEVER COMMITTED ANY CRIMES!!! Small .. large.. so what? If your a repetitive offender.. you make your bed, you sleep in it!! I still think it will deter crime.. as long as it is KEPT intact!! But there are moves.. (the poor criminal) to reverse it already!!

Anyway.. Jones, when looked at closer.. is a great candidate. And when it comes down to the wire.. I think he will have proved to be the better candidate!! Just my own opinion.. and I respect yours. I'm sure we will end up voting for Simon.. but I have to tell ya.. he wasn't the best man for the job.. he is just the better alternative at this point. I PRAY seriously he PROVES ME WRONG!!!

I'm more than happy to be wrong!!

FRegards!!
