Moore Arpaio?


Noooo ....

I would not vote for him even if I could ( I am in GA).

 

[DaisyDay]

He's pretty old, but that's the least objectionable thing about him.

yeah he is in his 80s but not only that he is closer to 90 than 80. at 85.5 so if he wins he will be 92 at the end of his FIRST term. Normally, I would have a problem with judging otherwise fit people by their age for positions, but at the FEDERAL level 86 is a little old to be running for the first time ( especially with the issues he has had that required him to be pardoned in the first place. I mean I think of my grandfather in good shape for 81 (so granted slightly younger than Joe, but that would be just a little much ( especially as much as senators travel around their state.) I frankly hope the people have enough sense to FORCE him to slow down ( AKA not elect him.)

Weren't prisoners raped and abused under his watch?

Yes, he's tough on crime, you see.

There's uncle Joe, he is moving kind of slow at the Junction.......................................

I guess with a record like that, his only options are congress or hollywood.

Yep, and the GOP will have to run an even crazier candidate in the primaries to get the votes needed to beat him.

I'm sure there's some Arpaio Jr. who adds, I don't know, chemtrails or birtherism to the mix they can wrangle up...

EDIT: Oh, wait, he's already a birther. Ummm... Beyonce/Reptoid theories?

To be fair that happens just about everywhere prisoner on prisoner.

I thought all prisons pretty much have that issue. Are we talking about guards doing this - or inmates being cruel to one another?

Roy Moore goes West.

Cue Weinstein joke.

 

[majj27]

To be fair he also created a "School Posse" in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting. Suprisingly*, no schools have asked for their presence to protect their children.

*This may be because the posse contained at least one convicted child molester, several domestic abusers, and was taught weapons-use by STEVEN SEAGAL. I wish I were making this up.

What does he think he is, Hasbro?

Overheard amongst the Republican National Committee:

"Whew. That Roy Moore thing sure was a problem that could have gone very, very badly. It's by luck and sacrifice that we avoided humiliation. Let's not do anything like that again..."

Enter Joe Arpaio...

As it is written, for everything there is a season. And a time for every purpose. And this is the time for Hillary, and Judge Roy, and Mitt, and Sheriff Joe to just go away.
