But even Rush is only right 99.4% of the time. RINO Joe falls into the 0.6%.

Re: the use of Rushisms…Rush LOVES Arpaio, just saying….

I have no use for the Board of Supervisors, but they were not the subject of the article leading in to these posts. If you want to jump on them, start a lead in and I’ll add my two cents.

I noticed you did not refute a single word that this “wag” wrote about RINO Joe and his betrayal of the Republican Party and his gift of Big Sis and bankruptcy to the rest of us.

Did he promise to run for one term only and then promptly break the promise? Well . . . .

Did he hold the press conference with Big Sis in 1998 or not? Well . . .

Did she let him off the hook at the press conference or not? Well . . . .

Did he not endorse her against Matt Salmon, make a commercial for Big Sis, fight against Salmon, and put her over the top? Well . . . .

Was that a corrupt bargain? Well . . .

My point exactly, Alicia, is that what RINO Joe does against illegals amounts to as much as gas in a windstorm. He is milking it for the publicity.

What has he done about real crimes committed by the drug cartel right here in this county? Well . . . .

No one can stop illegal immigration without a real fence at the border, the army or national guard backing it up, and huge fines nationally for companies that knowingly hire illegal aliens. Let’s get after that. Send a message to McCain and vote against him. That’s my plan, if we get a choice in the primary.

It’s time for all you in Rio Linda to ‘fess up. RINO Joe has conned you with his stunts. As I wrote before, you Rio Lindistas may be dumb enough to fall for it. Even with half my brain tied behind my back I can see right through the phony.

Think logically and explain to all of us how Joe can be not rounding up enough illegals when is he incarcerating so many, the McCain/Obama/La Raza/cheap labor crowd are screaming from the rafters using every filthy trick they can to make Joe go away.

Our sheriff must be doing everything right to be creating such a furor. Note that the slimeballs who are out to get him never say one single word about the five miscreants posing as our Board of Supervisors, and we KNOW those people have their hands in the cooky jar as well as in all sorts of other places where hands do not belong.

One wag suggests we erect a real border fence, send in the national guard and establish nationwide fines against employers. These are great ideas, but not one of them is within the jurisdiction of a Maricopa County sheriff, no matter how tough he is. Let’s get real, people.

You raise some fair points so let me respond with three broad points:

1. We need to do three things to stop illegal immigration. Build a real fence, put the national guard or army or both on the border, and put tough nationwide fines into effect against companies that knowingly hire illegal aliens. That will stop the inward flow and dry up the jobs for illegal aliens already here.

2. What did RINO Joe ever do on illegal immigration his first three terms in office, or from 1993 to 2004? All I remember is he prosecuted the soldier who apprehended the seven or eight illegal aliens at the rest stop. Where was RINO Joe when Chandler tried to do something about it? Look under the big rock. His stunts are just that — big, fat stunts, all for show. If you ever travel to central, south, or west Phoenix, you will see it’s all for show. Nothing has really changed. All you out in Rio Linda, in case you didn’t know it, the Mexican drug cartel is extending its tentacles into Maricopa County. Isn’t that why Phoenix has become the kidnapping capital of America? RINO Joe has done nothing, and I mean nothing, about it.

3. Is Joe really a RINO as I have charged? Consider the facts. Carlist, since you’ve been here for 40 years, a newcomer I might add compared to some of the rest of us, recall he ran as a moderate for the Phoenix City Council in his first race for public office. Didn’t he also want the endorsement of the Firefighter’s Union? When he ran for sheriff the first time in 1992 I recall he signed a statement that it was for one term and one term only. What did he do in 1996? Run again. What was his pledge worth? After Scott Norberg, God rest his soul, was choked to death in the county jail in the mid-90′s Big Sis started a federal investigation against the sheriff. Is it true or is it false that on her last day as U.S. Attorney in 1998, before taking over as Arizona Attorney General, Big Sis and RINO Joe held a press conference together in which she let him off with a wrist slap? Is it true or is it false that in Big Sis’s very next election — this time for Governor — RINO Joe betrayed the Republican Party, endorsed Big Sis, made a commercial for her, and fought against Republican Matt Salmon? And didn’t she barely squeak by with a mere 11,000 votes out of millions cast? Was there a corrupt bargain there? You decide. To me, 2 and 2 makes 4, and always will, regardless of how hard some fool can thunder at illegal aliens.

As for you Hamilcar, RINO Joe is doing nothing real to protect us from illegal immigration. His stunts are a spit in the ocean. All real Americans grieve deeply for the patrolman killed by the illegal, or the family of the fallen killed by an illegal drunk driver, or for anyone else harmed in any way by an illegal alien. If you really want to do something about it, re-read my first point.

I never will support a Benedict Arnold to the Republican Party. You Rio Lindistas may be dumb enough to do so. Not me.

What a shame that the Republican Party is temperamentally unable to want to increase their rolls – ’tis a darn shame.

To begin with, while the Sheriff’s Office has countywide authority regarding incarceration and civil enforcement, it’s policiing authority is limited to unincorporated County land and those corporate entities which do no have police departments.

Technically, the Sheriff is the top law enforcement official in the County but his actual control is limited. He DOES however possess the authority to enter into another jurisdiction within the county when the law is NOT enforced or flagrantly violated by cities or towns within the county.

The City of Phoenix refused to disrupt illegal hiring sites even when the owners of the commercial properties complained while the City of Mesa was not only hiring illegals but advising them where to get bogus I.D.s!

These are just two examples of the corruption which is endemic in the communities within the County as the law enforcement heads are under the thumbs of the various Councils and are appointed.

And when looking over the donation lists of our mayors and councilmen (and B.O.S) it doesn’t take a genius to figure out who is to blame for the wave of illegal immigration and its accompanying criminal activities.

Joe Arpaio and Andy Thomas have been the first and only law enforcement officials to take ANY action in this area, since a Chandler P.D. Chief was sacked for conducting a round up fifteen years ago.

They entered the fray recently because the locals refused to do so and in effect, turned our various municipalities into “Sanctuary Cities”

On another matter, the Sheriff has gone to court several times in an attempt to prevent inmates from being sent to abortion clinics in and out of state. In doing so, he encountered stiff resistance from an alledgedly “pro-life” GOP Governor.

Arpaio is far from a saint, but he will fight for what he believes. Mr. Davidson also lists several positions he adheres to and they happen to replicate mine, and I support them to the extent that I’ve been publicly active in their behalf over the nearly four decades of my Arizona residence and I’ve never encountered him in my efforts.

“Ya gotta be” lists several positive actions which should be taken to deal with the illegal alien problem, but is he aware that both Arpaio and Thomas have politically supported his solutions against the crowd both he and Mr. Davidson are going to the mat for!

Gentlemen, it’s time that your self descriptions and ideas align themselves with your political rhetoric!

But the loss of reason is why I can’t stomach the small tent bunch.

Look at the knee jerk support for Joe- a costly, foolish, over the hill populist.

If you want to tackle illegal immigration, the answer is simple, fine the crap out of businesses that employ them. Landscapers are just the tip of the iceberg. Force the use of E Verify nationwide, and crap jobs will pay more. Kill the 1099 too- that is the other way business abuses the crap out of the system with illegals, then kill off the H1Bs for ordinary workers- got a stellar researcher- they should be able to get a visa, but a cheapo “programmer” here to kill wages should be gone. Further kill off the hidden slave labor brought in to serve resorts from South America and Eastern Europe. All we have done is ensure more poverty with more profits for business with our employment policies.

Greed has been the root of the demise of the business republicans.

Joe lost me when I found out he takes credit for over 30,000 illegals arrested. When I asked for details, his office admitted that includes all bookings done by the cities in county jail. 98% of those arrests aren’t by MCSO.

Endorsing Nappy Napo shod have been the last straw for him.

Not a chance. I am a 100% pro-life, anti-illegal immigration, small government, anti-tax Republican. I have picture of Ronald Reagan in my office.

But I’m not stupid, I don’t live in Rio Linda, and I can spot a phony a mile away — and RINO Joe is a phony through and through.

He supported Napolitano for governor over Matt Salmon. Deny that if you can. He made a commercial for her. She won by 11,000 votes out of millions cast. Without his support, endorsement, and commercial, this liberal Democrat would now be back practicing law. That makes him a RINO. And thank you Joe for the big spending and bankruptcy that came with this liberal Democrat governor.

For 12 years he couldn’t be seen on the illegal immigration issue. Suddenly in 2005 he starts to grandstand it. How do you spell phony?
J-O-E.

Deny if you can that the County has paid out millions to settle lawsuits against the sheriff.

Deny if you can that he broke his one-term pledge in 1996.

Deny if you can that Phoenix is the kidnapping capital of America. And who do you think is doing the kidnapping? Look south and you’ll get a clue.

You can’t deny any of it, because it is all 100% true.

You all should pack up and move out of Rio Linda. You’re all too blinded to see the truth.
