Joe Arpaio (R) is the current sheriff of Maricopa county, the 4th most populous county in the US and contains the majority of Arizona's population. Supporters praise his toughness on crime and illegal immigration while critics cite him disobeying a federal court order to quit treating every Mexican like an illegal immigration and his failure to investigate sexual abuse cases. His opponent, Paul Penzone (D), is currently leading in the polls. Penzone isn't exempt from criticism either as 13 years ago, there was an incident between him and his ex wife. However, the campaign ads against Penzone are a bit questionable about the story Arizona's Politics: FACT CHECK FLASHBACK: Arpaio's 2012 Domestic Violence Ad Vs. Paul Penzone and according to penzone's words, Arpaio apologized about the defamation ads and said that he only did it to win but he's doing it again. If Penzone is being truthful, it says that Arpaio is a selfish scumbag who would do anything to keep his seat and that he knows that defamation is wrong but he does it anyway. Recently, Penzone has filed a lawsuit against his opponent for what he says are defamation while Arpaio claims that the ads are accurate to what the court ruled.

as of October 20 2016, Paul Penzone is in the lead https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2016/10/20/az-poll-arpaio-penzone-border-wall/ but if Sheriff Arpaio can push the domestic violence story far enough, he could win the undecided voters

I voted for Sheriff Joe's opponent, despite my unfamiliarity with him, only because I can't believe anyone could be worse than Joe!

Plus Joe's under indictment.
 
This guy thinks it's hilarious to take regular citizens that haven't been convicted of anything, and humiliate them and put them in a tent in the desert heat.

Yep, haha. Joke's on you if you get arrested because your ex said you hit her when you didn't. That's pretty funny.
 
I vote pink underwear for Arizona. :lamo

Poll: Paul Penzone leading Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio by 15 points

Arpaio's campaign criticized the survey and published its own showing Arpaio, a Republican, up by almost 8 points.

The poll was conducted Oct. 10-15 as news broke that federal prosecutors would file a criminal contempt charge against Arpaio.

I thought that the feds were not to file any charges with in a certain time frame around elections? Or does that just apply to people
running for federal office?

You're absolutely right. At the very least, those in tent city should only be those with convictions or rule infractions. I still support Arpaio over a Democrat, but think Arpaio needs to be slowed down a bit.
 
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!

Go Joe! :thumbs:
 
It's time for Joe to go. He's embarrassed the county enough.
