The folks need to vote this turd out of office ASAP!

I can just imagine his words were that to happen: "I simply spoke my mind, and as a result I lost my job, too many people in this country believe in free speech for extremists like Rush Limbaugh, but not for those who speak the truth."

However, the chance of him being voted out is slim to none, as I understand it. Apparantly Tucson is like Austin, Texas: a little liberal mecca in an otherwise pretty conservative state. I guess that since every state has a State University, every state inevitably has to have at least one liberal town. Madison, Wisconsin comes to mind, as does Lawrence, Kansas. I believe that Missoula, Montana is also in this category.

You Tube Video: Sheriff Dupnik: 'I have no agenda' "We have become a very angry country, part of it very ugly..... And that even though we have free speech in this country -- constantly 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week making the people angry at government and elected officials may benefit some party but I think those people bear some responsibility when incidents like this occur and may occur in the future ---- and I know that Congress (everybody) is concerned about their responsibility. they have no protection at all unless they have specific information, law enforcement doesn't get involved in their public appearances...........I just expressed my opinion, I was angry. I am still angry. I was very very affected personally.......Rep Giffords and Judge Hall wonderful people." (paraphrasing)

Now I'll give Sheriff Dupnik some benefit of the doubt in one aspect. The Obama administration has let the situation in AZ fester and grow uglier by the day. Blame runs smack dab up to the top and the sheriff should have said so. He should have put party politics behind him and placed blame where it obviously rests. Instead, he pointed fingers at innocent people when he went before the cameras and accused alarmed Americans of creating the atmosphere for the shooting, rather than being angry with the wretchedly divisive Pelosi House, deal cutting Reid Senate and illegal immigrant vote seeking Obama White House. I guess I can't give the sheriff any benefit of the doubt after all.

He owes America an apology for his words.
