Arpaio is dead to me since he decided to be a spoiler in the Republican primary in last year’s Arizona Senate race.
I still want to like him, he tried to do good(for the country) things while sheriff - but when he did the cold case posse - obama birth certificate thing and they ended up just telling us what we already knew it was a fake, i lost interest in Joe. They kept saying they had some thing of real importance - then it got supposedly handed over to some department in DC - then crickets.
It sounds like you got your information form DU.
IMHO, Joe did a lot of good over the years in AZ.
However, he failed to recognize when it was time to hang up the badge and retire. Had he done so, he could have gone out in style and in a way that would have ensured that his replacement would be a conservative likely to continue to pursue the same or similar conservative policies, even if approached in different ways.
That was a big failure... but I still love and appreciate the guy, his courage, brashness, outsized ego and all.
Yep - I got ‘chided” for saying he needed to step aside so as to not give the seat away...loved what he had been all about but his ego pushed him to stick i tout despite the recent troubles he had been going through...
