A liar who hides who he is and threatens those who get in his way should not be in government - especially law enforcement - regardless of charisma. In fact the charisma is a big part of how he got away with his vile mode of operating - a tough-on-immigration sheriff whose has homosex with an illegal immigrant and then threatens him with deportation only because he might expose the sheriff’s homosex.

What goes on in your head to “know” he was closeted (thus deceptive all day long every day, and asking those who figured it out to prop up the lie) yet to trust that somehow he and his inner circle and underlings would have integrity in their duties?

A far-left newspaper says he threatened Jose with deportation. Here is the proof they published that Babeu threatened to deport him...

Paul Babeu's Mexican Ex-Lover Says Sheriff's Attorney Threatened Him With Deportation
In one series of texts Jose provided, the sheriff himself appears to be threatening his former lover:
Babeu: "You can never have business after this and you will harm me and many others in the process . . . including yourself & your family."
Babeu followed with: "And you say you have loved me? Papi . . . this is no good."
Jose responded: "Good threats. Wont work. Im already hurt me . . . and you didn't care."
Then later:
Jose: "Dont threat me. Thats illegal. Im just speaking . . . true."
Babeu: "You have crossed the line. Better get an attorney. You brother will also be contacted."
Soon after, DeRose sent an e-mail directly to Jose ordering him to "cease and desist."
Babeu contended during the press conference that his attorney was contacting Jose and Jose's lawyer about Jose's tampering with campaign websites, that there were never any threats about Jose's getting deported -- but Jose and Weiss-Riner dispute the sheriff's claim.

I don't see any threat to deport him in that but if that's good enough for you then what the hey!

First of all, I am not supporting Sheriff Babeu. I support the real conservative in the District 4 Congressional Race, my friend, State Senator Ron Gould. I met the Sheriff because he came to my County and I am the 1st Vice Chair of the County Party (Ron Gould is the Chairman) and President of the Colorado River Republican Women, thus I welcome all Republicans as a Party Officer and Republican Club President. Him being gay wasn't really a secret...everyone who follows this stuff knew. In fact, I had a conversation with that Chris DeRose about it. The Sheriff himself didn't talk about it, which is what we say we want, right? I do not care what people do behind closed doors...as long as they do not advocate it for everyone and try to convince me and Society that we should accept it as normal. By all accounts, that was how he led his life.

I don't know if this story is true, I am suprised his camp wasn't ready for it. Obviously, by the response here, there are a lot of Republicans who still will judge only on that. My problem, besides the fact I support someone else of course, is that all of it seems so reckless. I personally believe homosexuality is a sexual deviance, and that urge seems to trump everything, including good sense. Trolling for anonymous sex on the internet when you plan on running for a Federal position just doesn't seem like good sense. Right? And the stuff I read on his profile there is more than I really ever needed or wanted to know about him, if you catch my drift. That all being said, I don't take what a jilted lover says at face value either, man or woman.

I don't know how this will end or if it will cripple him. We live in a strange time. Maybe if he were running back East it wouldn't be a big deal. But this is Arizona, and not just Arizona, but Mohave County which is one of the most Conservative Counties in the Country. I just don't know.

But the best man for Congress is Ron Gould. And he needs money, so if anyone here wants to guarantee a good, Conservative, 100% Goldwater Institute record Conservative, help him out. You won't regret it.
RON GOULD FOR CONGRESS
