It Pays To Be Nice

The primary was barely over when I had to pack my bags to go to the convention.

I just got back and would like to thank all of my supporters for helping to elect me as Republican state committeeman for Pasco County, including Gov. Charlie Crist, along with our congressional delegation here in Pasco. I'm humbled by so many people making phone calls, walking precincts and being at the polls on Election Day.

I know my opponents ran a vicious and malicious campaign, and people have asked me about whether I am pursuing legal action. The answer is that I will pursue any legal remedies available to me. I have posted a letter of explanation of the incidents referred to on those mailers on my campaign Web site: www.BillBunting2008.com.

The results of this campaign prove that at least if you run a clean, positive campaign and stand on a record of accomplishments, you can win at the polls in spite of attacks and smears.

I hope that is what we see in the upcoming elections.

Bill Bunting

A Third Candidate

The two major political parties have chosen their contestants for the presidency, and my first thought is that they sure could have done better as far as quality and experience goes. One party has a candidate with virtually no experience or substance to a vague and empty message. The other one has experience, but his plan is somewhat vague also. It leaves us kind of wondering if they have a plan. Neither one has addressed our national debt to any degree, nor have I yet heard the words "liberty" or "freedom."

The Libertarian Party has a candidate that has addressed the issues that really affect us, such as the national debt, unfunded entitlements and other issues the Democrats or Republicans won't mention.

His name is Bob Barr, and (he) has the experience and tenacity to deal with the hard issues. Read about real solutions to real issues at www.lp.org.
