WOW! If Mitt is good enough for Sheriff Arpaio, he’s good enough for me!!!
Tom Tancredo, too, has endorsed Mitt. Just fyi.
That’s great!
Joe Arpaio, future head of Homeland Security.
Well, sounds good, anyway.
If Mitt is good enough for Sheriff Arpaio, he’s good enough for me!!!.... I was gonna post that, but you beat me to it.
Now here, for a change, is a meaningful endorsement.
I have gained so much respect for Sheriff Arpaio over the years...he’s not afraid to do the right thing and tick off the left. Wow...an endorsement by a public figure that has some value to me...a novelty.
One of the “big issues” for me is illegal immigration. That’s why I pray that John McCain-Kennedy does not get the nomination. To his credit, Romney gave state cops here in Massachusetts more authority to check immigration status — but the current lump of nothing we have as Governor now undid that.
Arpaio for AG! or head of HLS
Sheriff Joe in DC. An idea whose time has come.
I’d like to see the Tancredo-Arpaio endorsements get a lot more play in Romney’s campaign.
Sheriff Joe is doing automated calls in Florida. Short, concise, strong.
Alright! Those calls will do more good than anything.

Sheriff Joe visits Tucson, protesters denounce arrival
by Anthony Cabrera
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was in Tucson Friday, speaking to the Pima County Republican Women’s Club. And protesting outside was the Derechos Humanos Coalition, denouncing his arrival.
“Arpiao no! Arpiao no!” they yelled, as members tried to make a statement to both Sheriff Joe and the Women’s Club.
“They are very insensitive and irresponsible to have invited a gentleman who has proved not only so divisive and polarizing in Phoenix, but has cost the state of Arizona over $41 million,” Derechos Humanos co-chair, Isabel Garcia said.
“I think as women, they should know better,” Maria Cariasco said. “No matter if they’re republican. They should know our communities don’t need more problems than what we have already.”
They call the sheriff intolerant and racist.
“I think we have to let our community know that we don’t like him and we don’t want racism here,” Cariasco said. “We don’t want the sheriff’s department to be like his.”
Protesters say his tactics are inhumane. On the flip side, his supporters say he’s just doing his job.
“Oh yes, I support him. The man is doing what he’s being paid for. That’s what he runs on is law and order and justice. And when you talk about somebody that’s here illegally, the word illegally comes into it,” Arizona resident Tom Golding said.
The women who attended the luncheon invited him to hear what he’s doing and how he’s doing it.
“Look at all the money he’s saving Maricopa County,” Pima County Republican Women’s Club member Nicki Nickerson said. “He’s innovative. that’s what we need.”
And the man behind it all says he’s up for the fight.
“I’m not racist. I’m just doing my job and I’m going to continue doing,” Sheriff Joe said. “They call me Hitler, KKK in Phoenix. They call me every name in the book, which is alright, it doesn’t bother me. The more they call me, the harder I fight.”
I received a call from him yesterday urging me to vote for Romney.
An interesting man.
I am very pleased and proud to bump this thread for Mitt!!
Joe is former Border Patrol - he understands the issues first hand.
He sure does love endorsing liberals. Just ask Butch Napolitano, whom he helped beat Matt Salmon for Governor in 2002.
To those who protested.....the highway back to Mexico is still open....toll free!
Ditto.
Go, Joe! Go, Mitt!
LOL, yeah...Joe is a real lib, ain’t he? Oh, wait....no, he didn’t endorse McLame.
I wish gullible people would stop singing the praises of that dickhead Arpaio. Do some research. He’s cost Maricopa County millions of dollars through lawsuits caused by his unjust treatment of prisoners. And I’m not talking about frivolous lawsuits. Prisoners have routinely been abused and some have died as a result under his care. Remember, not everyone in County jail is some scumbag lawbreaker who deserves what they get. Many have not yet been convicted of any crime, and many have been unjustly accused and are waiting for trial. This is especially true in Maricopa County.
Arpaio is nothing more than a showboat pandering to gullible people’s base “law and order” instincts. He’s undoubtedly guilty of many crimes himself (gain do the research).
McCain, Rudy, whatever, he’s still endorsing a liberal, and in the case of Joe Isuzu Romney, an outright rodent. So it’s no surprise he’d endorse Romney, since Windbag Joe likes his liberal rodents.
Seriesly, the names can be funny if there is somethin' to back it up.
But when I see so many good conservatives going to Mitt, people I respect, I have to say that means more to me than someone who merely name calls.
BTW, who are voting in the Republican primary?
Did Arpaio endorse Butch Napolitano or not ?
"Seriesly, the names can be funny if there is somethin' to back it up."
I'll tell you what's funny. Seeing a sleazy liberal lying RINO like Joe Isuzu Romney pretending to be a Conservative. What's sad is the people who actually buy it.
"But when I see so many good conservatives going to Mitt, people I respect, I have to say that means more to me than someone who merely name calls."
I have seen any good Conservatives going to Joe Isuzu Romney. Not a one. I see a lot of phonies, delusionals and bribed FORMER Conservatives, but no good Conservatives. Why would a good Conservative back a sleazy liberal with no ethics and no morals like Joe Isuzu Romney ?
"BTW, who are voting in the Republican primary?"
People that have no Conservative to vote for anymore.
I have seen any good Conservatives going to Joe Isuzu Romney. Not a one. I see a lot of phonies, delusionals and bribed FORMER Conservatives, but no good Conservatives. Why would a good Conservative back a sleazy liberal with no ethics and no morals like Joe Isuzu Romney ?
Well, there you go. "I have seen any good Conservatives..." (sic)
There are two common ways people who have no real argument against a position or candidate take:
Lame Tactic #1:
Do nothing but call the other guy names (an ad hominem attack). We see this in your behavior of pathetic name calling.
I have a lot of fun at the expense of John McCain's name...but it isn't the bulk of my case against him.
Lame Tactic #2:
Attack any and all who back the position or candidate as heretics. We see this in your words "I see a lot of phonies, delusionals and bribed FORMER Conservatives, but no good Conservatives."
This is a circular argument, one where purely objective evidence is dismissed. One can never be a good Conservative and back Mitt, according to you.
A list of "no good Conservatives" (according to you) who back Romney (in no particular order):
Rev. Bob Jones
Jay Sekulow
Hugh Hewitt
David French
Jim Bopp
Dr. John Willke

MY OH MY! LOOK AT ALL THESE NAMES! (There might be a couple of repeats, I just did a search for supporters without editing)....you seriously believe all of these people are NOT GOOD CONSERVATIVES and that your vision (that seems to reject all possible electable candidates this season) is the ONLY true vision?
C'mon. Be real, dude.
Wow, a big SPAM post. How lame.
Yes, Arpaio endorsed the liberal rodent.
http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2007-12-27/news/money-shot
So no surprise he’d endorse another liberal rodent, that being Joe Isuzu Romney.
Of course, the list you have is handy, because it showcases a group of RINO sellouts, rubes, and sycophants who have not only betrayed the Republican party, but the Conservative movement, and for what ? A few pieces of silver from a slimeball with no ethics and no principles.
“you seriously believe all of these people are NOT GOOD CONSERVATIVES and that your vision (that seems to reject all possible electable candidates this season) is the ONLY true vision? C’mon. Be real, dude.”
‘Seriesly’, dude, you got it. You endorse a liberal, and you’re no longer a good Conservative. You see, you’re looking for an “electable” candidate. I’m looking for a Conservative, and right now, since last Tuesday, there aren’t any. Not a one. Until such time that one appears as a candidate that is viable, I’m supporting “None of the above.” None of the above is the only acceptable choice for a Conservative that has their conscience and soul intact.
