Joe Arpaio is up for election in 2012, if senility has not been formally diagnosed by then. He is shamelessly shilling for donations already. Why? Because he is running ads already – TWO FUCKING YEARS before even a primary challenge. Why?
It’s not his popularity. Joe latched onto hating brown people, and it bought him his 5th term. It’s all the rage now. SB1070. You may have heard of it.
So why then? Two words: Rick Romley.
Rick Romley is also GOP, but he is an enemy of Joe. He’s not part of the Honduran villa/Alaskan fishing trip crowd. He’s not part of the harass brown people so they don’t vote crowd, either. Romley has a functioning set of brains and balls. He constantly stands up to Joe and the old man’s bullshit. The problem with the Joe Arpaio for sheriff attack ads is that Rick Romley is not running for sheriff. He is running for County Attorney. In Romley’s world, CA is a prosecutor who is expected to work for justice, and is only a politician by necessity. Romley’s predecessor was a politician whose acts as CA were designed for headlines, not justice or truth. Romley is not running against the quitter either.
This is what you get in AZ. Not a PAC to elect party candidates. You get Joe, spending the dollars you donate to keep him in office to cannibalize his own party’s chances in some sort of pissing contest with someone who dares to disagree.
your not nice. Joe is a patriot
He’s old and busted. He is an excellent politician, recognizing the high concentration of dumbasses in Maricopa and catering to their fears of a brown planet
