Let's see, Lewislynn. All I said was that I was no fan of Arpaio, but that I hoped he would win the federal action against him. You responded with a threat of zotting and insults. You further deigned to speak for the majority of Freepers when you made the sweeping statement that "by a majority of the members here Arpaio is likely the most respected person in government..." without any support whatsoever.

I believe that the onus is upon you to back up your threat, insults and general statements with specifics. What has Arpaio done to warrant being the "most respected person in government..." I don't even know anyone in Maricopa County that thinks so.

As far as me supporting my personal opinion, I indicated why I wouldn't in the other thread. With regard to your unsupported insult in your last post, I spent 9 years in Maricopa County watching my taxes being paid to claimants to the tune of millions of dollars due to Arpaio's actions.

I look forward to a rational reply.

I spent 9 years in Maricopa County watching my taxes being paid to claimants to the tune of millions of dollars due to Arpaio's actions.

I know a woman who spent about that many months in the Maricopa County jail, awaiting trial because she couldn't come up with bail money, the charges were ultimately dismissed. The accused get the same shoddy treatment that the guilty get, no wonder from what I heard from her that Maricopa County is constantly being sued.

I have no respect at all for Arpaio, he's a grandstander on a grand scale.
