Joe Arpaio for president?

Post Reply New Topic

GOP candidates have been calling and visiting Sheriff Joe Arpaio for 3 weeks now, trying to win his endorsement. So who will he choose? Perhaps no one.

Responding to a question on CNN as to which GOP presidential candidate had the best immigration plan, Arpaio said, “I have my own plan, maybe I should run for president.”

Sounds good to us. Why shouldn’t he run for president? Too old you say? He isn’t too old to crack down on illegal aliens and the businesses that employ them every week in Maricopa – the 4th most populous county in the United States. A tough job for anyone. And besides, Arpaio is only 3 years older than Ron Paul, who has raised millions and who finished 2nd in the Iowa Straw poll.

Of course we don’t expect Joe to run, but it is fun to imagine him as President, or perhaps more realistically Director of Homeland Security. Let’s hope that whoever he chooses to endorse (or does not), a future Republican President would make use of his 57 years of law enforcement experience to help secure this nation, and make workplaces inhospitable for illegal aliens – putting Americans back to work again.

We salute you, Joe!

Joe Arpaio for president?

Why??? Is Satan already too busy and needs the assistance?

I absolutely support Joke Arpaio for the republican candidate.

It would gift wrap a 2nd term for Obama even better than Palin could.

That evil, corrupt windbag is running for office? Who the f**k cares anyways? Elections are a joke. I'll vote for him. Or maybe I should vote for Big Bird or Donald Duck.

I say he should run, but only because it raises the chances that he'll be assassinated. Perhaps if he chose Fred Phelps as his running mate someone might even go for the twofer.

I am sorry to say that I hope he doesn't run. I am from the great state of Arizona, and hated his response to the shooting in Tucson, which was, and I quote: "I could have been shot!" To me, a man that cannot consider that people in that city were freaked out and instead broadcasts his own selfish thoughts to the public is not going to be able to run a country the way someone with a more level head would. Also, I think that right now, we need a moderate in the White House who will regulate and deregulate in all the right places and has some experience in a political office. Sheriff Joe is too right wing for that position and has not held a non-sheriff government position. We saw what happened when a man who was politically wet behind the ears got into the white house; do we want that to happen again?

The high mortality and disappearance rate is a very strong clue.

Meh, I'm still rooting for Inuyasha.

(and, yes, I do know the meaning of the verb "to root" in Australia)
