Some of this material was corrected from my email through an article by Jackie Gingrich Cushman, Newt's daughter.

My hero.
Nice for the animals.
Nice for the inmates.
Nice for the taxpayers.
It works on the same logical principle as saving on social security by putting retirees to work in government jobs.
I like Sheriff Joe.
I recommend Sheriff Joe to head up the FBI. There would probably be a sharp drop in crime just at the mere mention of the Sheriff as a nominee!
The sheriff is a dirty tax-saving, criminal punishing, thug. He clearly lacks sensitivity and should be required to go through the 6 week enlightenment course.
1. Since he is an Arizonan like McCain he is very unlikely to be the VP candidate.
2. There is only one of him instead of dozens.
Hey John: Try it sometime; conservatism works every time its tried.
"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the TENTS for 1 year. "It's inhumane."Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic.
He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too, And They Have To Wear Full Battle Gear, But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes, So Shut Your D@mned Mouths!"
foflol!!! BTTT!!!
He might have been if Romney had made it, since he endorsed Romney and campaigned for him. At least, that’s what I was hoping for and partly why I supported Romney myself.
Just some thoughts;
the sheriff grows veggies and hogs using labor costing 28 cents an hour, while honest farmers can not compete.
The sheriff grows Christmas trees and sells them for dirt cheap, while Boy Scouts can not compete with those prices.
While it sounds good on the surface, honest people are being hurt.

Hmm. Write in vote?
“Since he is an Arizonan like McCain he is very unlikely to be the VP candidate.”
Knowing that Arpaio endorsed Romney and campaigned for him in McCain’s own state of Arizona, I rather doubt that vindictive McCain would have anything to do with him anyway.
That so sweet
He may be bad*** sheriff he has heart for animals
Not just unlikely, ineligible. The president and VP can't be from the same state. It's in the black-letter law of the Constitution. That's why, back in 2000, Cheney "moved" back to Wyoming from Texas.
Does anyone know what his recidivism rate for prisoners is?
I’ll bet it’s LOW....
According to the Town Crier:
"they have to sing "God bless America" in the morning, the national anthem at night. [snip] In English. [snip] They happen to be in the United States of America, and they happen to be in my jail. I run the jail. So that`s my policy.
Town Crier - No one does it better
Don'cha just LOVE it?
The other thing that people forget is that this is a county jail and therefore a large portion of it’s inmates are people who are awaiting trial. If you are innocent until proven guilty, then as an innocent, un-convicted person, you are subjected to the same blistering heat and 40 cent green ham sandwiches as those that are there serving sentences for such heinous acts as failure to pay child support. Jails don’t house felons, unless they’re awaiting trial, hard core felons go to the state pen. Jails get people convicted of misdemeanors, not capital murderers.
