I just hope I can get the real scoop from an anonymous Freeper on why Joe is a sell out because they have all the real details.

79 year old Arpaio makes a fool of himself.

[Darkwolf377]

Not a Perry fan (hi CW!) but this is the first endorsement of the season that’s actually giving me something to think about.

***...and no candidate for president has done more to secure the border than Governor Rick Perry.***

Without commenting on Ricardo, what other candidate for POTUS has run a border state?

It’s like saying the NY Giants score more touchdowns than the NY Yankees. True, but the Yankees don’t play football.

[TADSLOS]

First big Sis Napolitano, now Perry. Joe sure does like liberal big government nanny statists.

[pgkdan]

Bears Repeating...

The federal government has failed on border crime and border enforcement, and no candidate for president has done more to secure the border than Governor Rick Perry. I have been watching Governor Perry and Texas closely and know his border surge operations with state, local and federal law enforcement officials have helped shut down the illegal trafficking of weapons, drugs and people," said Sheriff Arpaio. "I'm endorsing Rick Perry because we need a tough-on-crime president who will champion and fund full-time border security operations from Brownsville to San Diego. Governor Perry has a superior border security record and plan to make our border and our nation safer."

PERRY 2012

Very interesting.

Sheriff Joe supported SB 1070. Rick Perry opposed it. I supported SB 1070 as well. But even though me and the Sheriff disagree with Perry over this, I still see more commonalities that we can agree on.

Rick Perry for President.

Sheriff Joe is a great sheriff, but has a history of boneheaded endorsements - including Janet Napolitano for AZ Governor, and Mittens for President in 2008, and some even worse ones at the local level.

[montag813]

Declared legislation outlawing "sanctuary cities" an emergency item in Texas, and added it to the call of the special session;

And then dropped it like a hot potato when his big money backers (incl. Bob Perry of Perry Homes, which uses thousands of illegals) said to kill it.

[montag813]

Also known as "America's Toughest Sheriff," Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been elected five times as Maricopa County Sheriff in Arizona,

Joe only won with 55% last time around, and is now a target of Randy Parraz, who took down Russell Pearce. This will NOT help him in his 2012 bid.

[luvie]

Well, this is a serious endorsement from a man who also understands what it’s like living in a border state and trying to make it safe for the LEGAL residents!

[Just A Reader]

Don't understand the absolute HATRED of Perry by so many here. I noticed on Perry threads they are the first to show up and spew personal attacks. On threads about their candidate, they spew their hatred of Perry. On threads about any other candidates, they spew hatred of Perry. And all the while claiming Perry supporters are hateful.

Wonder what will happen if Palin supports Perry or becomes his running mate?

[TexasFreeper2009]

wow

good going Perry!

I am currently without a candidate since Cain imploded, I will have to mull this over, but if Perry actually showed some life in the polls.... I think I would prefer him over Newt.

[smoothsailing]

I like it! Go Rick! Give 'em hell, Joe! :)

“Sheriff Joe Arpaio Endorses Governor Rick Perry for President”

Joe is pretty tough on illegals. That he would back Perry means a lot. I still prefer Cain but Perry could be moving into my backup spot.

[Scythian]

No doubt about it, Perry is sure to win now, oughta be topping 3% in the polls now, he’s almost there ...

[Reagan Man]

Sheriff Joe Arpaio knows all about illegal immigration, border security and holding illegal aliens accountable. He made the right decision and chose the best candidate in the entire field.

The question is, will this help Perry secure the nomination? We shall see.

[Lakeshark]

Wtf?

Splain this to me please........
