You forgot frightened. I live there part-time and Joe just loves busting out the boogieman card.

Funny. And I bet you're a supporter of the Criminal Killary Clinton who should be serving a life sentence as I type this.

Clarke is the right wing's latest Uncle Tom. They love him because he is black and is making lots of appearances on Fox News denouncing Black Lives Matter.

Arpaio is a non entity here, and everywhere else outside of his home county.

It's as if the rest of the nation thinks that he's the sheriff of Arizona. Hell, he doesn't even hold an office with the Arizona Sheriffs Association. Out here, he's just one of the state's 15 county sheriffs.

I'll then ask some of my questioners the name of their own sheriff, and 9 outta 10 don't know!

But they know all about Arpaio. SMH...makes no sense to me.
So, it appears this is just your own opinion, not really a national "figure" opinion....

9 out of 10? Your very own specific "poll"? Of course...SMDH....

It's also funny, that these people come up to YOU and ONLY you.....and nobody else, if it were as prolific as you say, they left would be all over it....why are they not, and ONLY you? Do tell, do tell.....

You seem to have fallen for the hype.
You mean like "shovel ready jobs"?

Unless you are a repub....then guess what you are? Racist, some type on phobicc, bigot...blah blah blah...



[quote=desertdetroiter;45340564Truth is, it's more often the sign that someone is a butthole.[/quote]

So, being "blunt" and telling the truth is now being a "butt hole."

Congrats....
