Is Joe Arpaio Beatable?

• SPD's decade criminal tree is excellent work. They are betrayers and traitors.  Many of us grateful citizens, who were criminally deceived, lied to, conspired against, perjured, framed by SPD and the corrupt Injustice Kangaroo court, are patiently awaiting their assured mass replacements. Justice is coming, stayed tuned, I promise! Remember the city in Mexico that recently had the gangsters, uh, I mean police replaced?

• Is Obama out campaigning for Rick Perry too?

• Yep. The Flaccid Failure has indeed been collecting his pay while campaigning for Perry.

• It's not like the Old Fool was ever doing his job to begin with. His campaigning for Rick Perry is just to distract from the massive DOJ complaints of racial profiling, the 430 uninvestigated sex crimes against children, the misspending of $103.7 million in taxpayer dollars, etc.

• As a native Californian who moved to Arizona 5 years ago I must say its crazy how many people dislike him but don't really care that he is in office. Having talked to 100s of different Arizona residents spanning different age groups no one really cares if he is in office or not. Honestly I don't think any significant amount of the population votes here. There are so many sad sob stories about how horrible his policies are, but no one cares to vote him out. Can't wait to leave this place and find sensible law enforcement that actually care about citizens and not increasing their budget.

• Is Joe Arpaio Beatable? Grab a baseball bat and find out.

• Personally, I think 80 is just a little too long in the tooth for that particular position.  The job, if done right, requires more energy that most 80 year-olds posses.  There are, of course, exceptions, but Arpaio is most definitely not one of them.

• Aside from the incredibly large volume of all his illegal activities, the only thing Arapio has really done over the last two decades, is tell idiots and racists what good Americans they are.  The tactic has worked well so far.  Why?  Lots of idiots and racists, of course. As much as I'd like to believe he won't be re-elected, your comment tells me that the cloud of stupid that hangs over Maricopa County is still pretty thick.

• Why don't we ask that of Obama as well?

• lol, yeah right. That corrupt pompous windbag, he'll have his goon squad frame anyone that bothers him, its what he does. www.Total-Privacy dot US

• YPS, you're welcome to believe in whatever conspiracy theory you've come up with, enjoy! Reality is I'm not employeed or associated with any candidate, anywhere.

• Good luck, liberals.

• Drive out the darkness from amongst you and let the light enter.

• Backed into a corner and now you are claiming ignorance of your own identity? You are a piece of work! A perfect example that Stauffer is simply another version of The same thing. You are Mike Stauffers Joel Fox.

• Well, I don't know who West is, so your post is pretty much just you pissing into the wind. If you want answers to these questions, I'd suggest you contact Scottsdale's Chief of Police, Alan Rodbell.  Here's the email address for one of their public information officers:  mclark@scottsdaleaz.gov

• They're very different actually.  Stauffer doesn't prostitute himself to any and every camera he can find, Arpaio does.

• I didn't make a disparaging remark regarding Arpaio's age. I stated the facts.  Arpaio is, in fact, 80 years old.  Stauffer is, in fact, not that old.  Get over yourself!

• Like he was ever concerned with doing his duty! Are you kidding, that was/still is on the bottom of his list of priorities.  His top priority is getting his alcoholic bladder gut in front of a camera.  He is AZ's biggest criminal POS.  Look me up Joe and come after me, again I dare you.  My name is James Lutton, look me up again I dare you, Tough Guy.  Let's see who has the balls.  

• The little I have seen regarding Mike Stauffer reminds me of what Joe Arpaio was 18 years ago. They are cut from the same cloth.

• Your disparaging remark reference Arpaio's age, however, exemplifies Ageism, a form of discrimination. Are you suggesting that because Arpaio discriminates it is ok for you to do so as well? Are you 12?

• How's the sale of those mugs and t-shirts going? Great strategy West! Was that all your idea?

• Answer the questions West. You're the campaign manager. Why are you dodging the questions? I absolutely hold Arpaio accountable for the ruin he has created because of his ego and his lack of integrity. I also hold Stauffer and his staff (comprised of you) accountable. Stauffer's (or your) rendition of the Anthem seizures shows just how incompetent he is as a law enforcement officer. That investigation, the search warrants, arrests, and seizures had nothing to do with Arpaio yet Stauffer (or you) made the decision to politicize the case and demean real cops and the job they did. Stauffer (or yourself) decided to call this a low level bust because... There were no drugs found.... Hey moron, it was a reversal. The detectives were providing the drugs in exchange for the money! Stauffer doesn't know about this type of police work? Really!?! Talk about a gaff. And you know who owns that? You do West. It's all on you. Poor intel makes your candidate look like a meddling kid. He claims under his watch the cases would be bigger. Please provide me one case, just one, where $800,000 in cash was seized that Mike Stauffer was the case agent on. He scoffs yet he pales in comparison to the deputies he demeans and ostrisizes. Tell me about the Rock Burglar. What was Mike Stauffer's role in catching that guy? The rock burglar has been raping Scottsdale properties for decades. What did that experienced omnipresent lieutenant do to protect The residents of Scottsdale? I know. He waited for MCSO detectives to catch the guy... Say what you want about Arpaio. He's fair game. But continue to slander good deputies reputations for the furtherance of your candidate's aspirations and I assure you it will be something he will look back on and wish he had taken a different approach. Good luck in your future endeavors. It looks like you'll be searching for a new line of work after the failure that is Mike Stauffer for Sheriff you are currently orchestrating. I wonder how long it will take for you to get neutered again. You are a little hot head.

• Has Arpaio been collecting his paycheck from the county while he's been out trumping for Perry?  Who's been doing Arpaio's job and who's going to pay him and do his real job while he serves as Perry's chairman?

• And how is it Arpaio's spending all this time trumping for Rick Perry, and now he's going to be Perry's Arizona campaign chairman?  Who's doing Arpaio's job?  Is Arpaio still collecting his paycheck while he's off grandstanding?  Not only is Arpaio NOT HERE and NOT DOING HIS JOB, he's avoiding answering for yet another dead inmate, more lawsuits, and more corruption in the MCSO in the form of racial profiling, and MCSO's subsequent efforts to destroy evidence)

• Funny you're so willing to hang all of Scottsdale's law enforcement deficiencies on one officer in the Scottsdale PD, yet you don't hold Arpaio, who is supposedly the boss, accountable for his miserable law enforcement failures, financial and managerial malfeasance, corruption, and abuses of power.

• I agree in full, YPS.

• "Anyone but Arpaio as your campaign platform won't get you a win." Glad you think that; just keep counting on that, all right?!!

• Don't know, I guess you should ask him.  Discrimination?  LOL ... why don't you ask your idol Arpaio about discrimination.  He's our chief discriminator ... and all for what, ARPAIO'S APPETITE FOR SELF SERVING PUBICITY! It's not discrimination if the other guy's education, skills, and experience are superior to Arpaio's, and they are.

• Agreed

• WhoKnows, Well said. The real people are paying attention, have been taking action and will continue until all the bad guys are ousted.

• Rick Perey won't be in the race when it comes to Arizona.

• Ageism is a form of discrimination. Does Stauffer allow his staff to engage in discriminatory practices?

• When does Apraio have time to do his actual job for the community? If he is going to chair Perry's campaign that will eat up alot of time and resources, so much for his elected duties I guess.

• Rick Perry has named embattled Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio his Arizona campaign chairman. Perry’s campaign announced Friday afternoon that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio will chair his campaign in Arizona, putting a figure who has drawn heated controversy at the helm of the Texas governor’s efforts in the Grand Canyon State.  OUCH!

• ...and you are living a pipe dream if you think that Pearce's demise equates to a win for Stauffer. Jerry Lewis is an icon in LD18...a rock star of sorts. He was the perfect candidate who stole votes from the Pearce faithful. What is Stauffer doing to replicate that? Anyone but Arpaio as your campaign platform won't get you a win.

• What, exactly am I spinning? Every one of the questions I asked are viable. Stauffer is a lieutenant in a small department. Why, praytell does he think that managing 25 people for an 8 hour swing shift qualifies him to be the Sheriff of the 3rd largest county in the nation? He promises to make the 'big cases' going after real criminals...what big cases has he participated in solving? Was it the infamous rock burglar case? Oh no, wait! Those were Sheriffs Detectives that caught that guy. Scottsdales biggest burglar who pulverized the city of Scottsdale for as long as Stauffer was an officer with them and who caught the guy? Those racist MCSO deputies! What has Stauffer done to foster cooperation with other police agencies? Why does he use City of Scottsdale time while wearing a Scottsdale PD uniform to campaign for public office? Why is Scottsdale's most infamous murderer not in custody answering for the death of his entire family? That was on Stauffer's watch! You are right in your assessment of Joe Arpaio. That is what is so incredibly frustrating with the manner Stauffer has handled his campaign. I would LoVE for there to be a legitimate candidate but once again we are stuck with a cypher who works a swing shift in the bar district of Scottsdale as our only hope.

• That's akin to someone leaving out that food blister your sporting when describing your physique! Hard fat is the most difficult to lose. You'd better get in it dough boy!

• LOL, Meg Whitman and Russell Pearce ring a bell?  They too tried to "buy" their wins with loads of personal and outside money.  There were some major thuds heard when they lost. I've researched both 80 year old Arpaio's and definitely not that old Stauffer's qualifications.  Stauffer has more education, experience and qualifications than Arpaio could ever dream of having. And spin as much as you like, but Stauffer doesn't have the incredible negative baggage that Arpaio has created for himself, all of because of Arpaio's own financial and managerial malfeasance in ignoring the responsibities of his job, in order to fulfill his self serving quest for publicity. You can be a nasty as you want to be on these posts.  Still doesn't change the end game, who are the voters going to vote for in November!?! I'm betting $6 million dollars won't repair Arpaio's broken trust with the voters. I'm betting there are even quite a few voters who will be smart enough to question the sense of Arpaio soliciting/collecting/accepting over $6 million dollars from all over the US, just for a county sheriff's election.  Arpaio quit making this about the job of sheriff along time ago.  It's all about him.  Problem is, that has left Maricopa County residents, taxpayers, and the MCSO, hung out to dry.  And it's been, and continues to be, an expensive hanging. We can elect someone who will do the job.  We can elect someone who will do the job BETTER than Arpaio. Will it be Stauffer or another candidate?  Don't know.  It won't be Arpaio. See ya in November.

• Of course I voted yes on the poll that he is beatable. However, this is the New Times and we're a bit biased against him so of course the poll is overwhelming. lol. That said, Randy Parraz and Citizens for a Better Arizona aren't going to let him off the hook this year. Joe better start investing his $6 million for his retirement.

• Who is this solid Republican? A mid level shift shift supervisor of a small agency in the East Valley who can't afford to quit his job in order to make an honest effort at Sheriff? The same guy who uses silly tactics (like the Pearce campaign) to create a fictional Facebook account of his opponent? The same guy who is NOT a solid Republican, but left the party to run as an independent? The same guy who's only endorsement comes from smut website orchestrator, Ben Quayle? The same guy who demeans the work and efforts of hard working office employees when he besmirched a reversal that netted over 700k in cash, several houses and cars, stating because no drugs were seized the operation was 'small time'? Tell me West, when was SPD's last big seizure? In fact, why hasn't SPD gone after those 'big ' cases Stauffer keeps beating his chest about? What has Stauffer done to create an atmosphere of mutual cooperation with other agencies while at Scottsdale? In fact, why is this guy still only a Lieutenant? If he is such a power house leader why is he not leading in Scottsdale? You can't even get Mike Broomhead on your side West. If Arpaio has 6mill in his coffers, it most certainly matters. Is this your first political campaign to manage? Stauffer will garner the 'anyone but Arpaio' vote. No more, no less. Especially with a moron like you running his campaign.

• Arpaio's narcissism is out of control and he's on "total disconnect" with reality. The reality is this: Saban (registered as a democrat) got 42% of the votes in 2008 against Arpaio, even though Arpaio abused his power in putting yet another of his opponents "under investigation," and despite Arpaio's illegal (earmarked) donation to the AZGOP to fund his trash and bash Saban ad. A solid republican, preferably with a LE background, should have no trouble beating Arpaio, especially now that Arpaio's financial and managerial malfeasance have been exposed. It doesn't matter if Arpaio's got $6 dollars or $6 million in his "warchest." Arpaio has cost Maricopa County taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in exorbitant lawyers' fees, lawsuits, and settlements. And that's just what we've paid out. Arpaio's put US TAXPAYERS on the hook for liability for hundreds of millions more due to his arrogance and lack of proper management of the MCSO. The public is aware now of a huge extent of how much Arpaio has failed the MCSO, the communities he was contracted to serve, and us, Maricopa County taxpayers. No more dead inmates. No more misappropriated funds. No more corruption. No more corrupt command staff. No more wasted taxpayers money. No more excessive lawyers' fees, lawsuits, and settlements. No more financial malfeasance. No more abuse of power. No more substandard, lacking, and unprofessional law enforcement. No more Arpaio.

• hopefully with an indictment from the DOJ will make his running a moot point, failing that a big stck might be enough to beat him with, lmao.

• Money didn't help Russell Pearce.  Nor Meg(?) Whitman.  

• Joe only got 55% of the votes counted in the 2008 election. Then he has to fire his top deputies shortly after. peace

• I'm on record saying he would not run again. This is all smoke, and the elections are 10 months down the road. If he does run he will be defeated. peace

• I agree Ross all it takes is money, which is shameful since all it Should take is the knowledge that we have a too costly embarrassing sheriff who claims to not know what goes on in his jail and office.  That should be enough to not elect Joe again but  I no longer have faith in voters in this county.

• Lewis was an unbelievably perfect candidate who pulled from the Pearce voting base in order to win. You'd better hope for an equally unvelievably perfect candidate to appear, and they better do it soon otherwise you will have to hold onto the pipe dream that Holder has the stones to pursue criminal charges.

• Saban was a viable candidate who's real shot to beat arpaio came in 2004 during the Republican Primary. Saban was only 7500 votes from Arpaio. The smear campaign against Saban was atrocious, however it had little impact on the ineviditable outcome after he changed party lines and began placating to the leftists. The left are ardent anti arpaio and will vote for anyone but Arpaio. There is NO reason for a candidate opposing arpaio to waste one dime or one minute pandering to that segment of voters. Stauffer is making the very same mistakes Saban did in 2008. Stauffer has built in campaign staffers in Lemons, King and Stern by simple default. Their very existence revolves around exposing arpaio negatively. Stauffer has ostricized himself from a huge voting sector made up of possible future supbordinates. This is one area Saban capitalized on and in fostering a working relationship with the men and women who work for the Sheriffs Office he raised substantial money and support.

• If we had " 10000 more Joe,s " this country would be broke and in complete financial ruin, you and your family would have to "illegally" emigrate to other countries to find a job that will feed your family. In the the brilliant words of Mr. Collins: Mr. Morris, your stupid is showing....

• What can Huey Long teach us about Joe Arpaio? I always thought the only connection was that they were both demagogues.  But reading a book about Long's career, I came across this information:  In his early days, Long's strategy would be to go into a parish (county) and attack its most popular politician.  He would figure that there were just as many people decidedly against him, as for him, and that he could convince the undecided voters in the middle to join the opposition. It worked. The polls tell us that Arpaio is popular, but how firm is that popularity?  Michelle Bachmann was popular, five months ago.  Russell Pearce was popular, a year ago. Public opinion can be turned.  Nowadays, all it takes is money.

• Forget politics, brown people, and whatever else gives you a boner. This joke has cost US $50,000,000 in law suit payments because of the dumb shit he has done. There isn't insurance that pays that, that money comes out of OUR pocket. That money could go to making parks better, animal shelters, blah blah. I would vote for Voldemort over Arpio.

• There's also the fact that the Sheriff has to be a bit more careful in his harrassment...uh, investigations?... of his political foes.  He's ran a reign of terror for many years now, and that's had the effect of suppressing extended publicity of his more egregious and evil acts. Anyone who spoke out against him found themselves subject to 24 hour a day surveillance and bogus charges.  The national coverage of the ignored sexual abuse charges is one of the best things that could have happened for Maricopa County residents.  His approval ratings were at 35% before all the recent revelations.  I suspect they're even lower now.  Yes, he's very beatable, but eveyone must get out and vote, and we also need to carefully monitor polling places and the vote tallying process come election time. 

• Many claimed that Pearce was unbeatable.  Pearce, who spent something like 5 times more on his campaign than Lewis did. How did that one work out for you, Pearce fans?

• If Joke is doing such a great job, after 5 terms, why are their still illegals here? It's because Joke really doesn't do shit, unless there is a camera!  And even with a camera, it's all for show.

• Mr. Morris, your stupid is showing....

• If you recall in 2008 Dan Saban garnered some 450,000 votes. That was AFTER the smear campaign by Randy Pullen, Joel Fox, and the Flaccid Fool. The FF almost lost the election then, against a candidate with a 'checker' past. Yes, he is very beatable. Mike Stauffer - 2012

• He is beatable. But someone has to run against him first. Bobby Ayala, you up to give it another whirl?

• I wish there were 10000 more Joe,s.  Our state is being over run with illegals and with all the free  maintence they get I am really tired of.  GO JOE GO. Keep throwing them in jail.

• James, You left out the culture of abuse and brutality which has flourished under Joe's watch. The recent death of Marty Atencio is one of the more blatant examples.

• anyone is beatable.  Fat ass had a bad year, and  it looking bad for the obese old man.  His is past his prime and all  thats is left for him is to die.

• I'm starting to have a feeling enough people have finally woken up and smelled the coffee.
