I guess that is possible, but not very probable.

Selective picture posting, eh? [1 (http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/dpp/news/crime/sheriff-joe-arpaio-supporters-rally-04282012 - broken link)] [2 (http://sports.yahoo.com/photos/supporter-mark-renner-smokes-rally-maricopa-county-sheriff-photo-200442341.html - broken link)]




Sco, now that you've been owned, please work on your reading comprehension. I will not engage in further dialogue with you until you do.

LOL, it looks to me like it was you who was gang owned in this thread. I see lots of pictures of old people and one guy smoking a cigarette that appears to be in his mid to late 50s. It must be some weird nativist math that comes up with a median age of 46 from those pics and video.

Because they only know the media myth not the real man and his record. He is a first class buffoon who has cost the taxpayers millions with his antics and destroyed the careers of friends and foes alike. Hopefully he will be tossed out this fall. It looks good for that.

Do not, under any circumstances press 1 if you feel that doing so will cause your head to explode or make you go into cardiac arrest.
Either put down the phone or explore other options like pressing 2 or 3.

Pretty much.
I read that two people closely associated with him and involved in the abuse of power case are likely to be disbarred because of their misconduct.
The whole lot of them really seemed to believe that they were above the law.

To the Joe haters: just be careful waht you wish for; his replacement may be harder yet as well as being much younger.

1 thing many people DON'T know is most anglo working class and rich people DON'T need to hold big rallies, we're quieter but get things done.

Really?

How about those 2 stupid ass wars that didn't get done and the big ass government debt? Why aren't you anglo-working class and rich people fixing that stuff since you're attributing so much power to yourselves?
