Recap...he is facing ALLEGATIONS...levelled by the same guy that has made politically charged statements that he wants to do everything in his power to prevent him from being reelected...
and you wonder why you have no credibility...
:lamo
That hatred you guys have for him is a powerful fuel. Tell you the same as all the rest of them. Quit wetting yourself over him, quit whining about him, and elect someone else already.
Nope, I remained on topic, have an understanding of the process, have a fair handle on the facts....and did not go off on election predictions.Round and round and round and round...
Simple ideas for complicated issues, that is what I see often from the rw. I have already shown how his meddling in affairs other than his jurisdiction has caused hundreds of rape cases to go uninvestigated, it is not his job to play ICE....but none of this matters, it is too complex.Look...at the end of the day...you hate the guy. LOTS of liberals hate the guy. He enforces the law...he's tough on criminals and he actually enforces immigration law (ohmiGAWD can you even BELIEVE it???). SO...of COURSE you hate him. That fact has been long established. Theres nothing new here. Quit wetting yourself over him. Quit whining about him. Elect someone different. Life is pretty simple.

To respond to the OP -
Well, Old Joe has had a my-way-or-the-highway attitude & thumbed-his-nose at those that disagree with him for decades, now.
But it looks like this time he may actually catch his comeuppance.
Maybe.
Is he?Haters usually don't like him because he's effective.
Is he?
He's flashy, but is he effective? Has the crime rate dropped significantly during his tenure?
(I honestly don't know the answer, and am too lazy to look it up)
He gets reelected. If crime is up, then no reason to vote for the sheriff.
So, by this standard, you agree that our other elected representatives... i.e.: Senators, House Representatives, etc... are doing a good job simply because they are able to get re-elected. Interesting.
See, I don't think you really believe that. I think you know as well as I do that re-election is about emotion and popularity, not competency.
I am at a loss to understand why someone (besides a criminal) would 'hate' a lawman based solely upon him being 'effective'?Haters usually don't like him because he's effective.

There's got to be more to the story than you're presenting.
The public thinks he's effective, but haters don't like his no-nonsense methods.
It is true that many of the citizens in Maricopa County believe Arpaio to be an effective "crime-stopper". The truth is - he ain't very good at it.
His "no-nonsense methods" provide lots of publicity which is probably the major reason the keeps being re-elected but the Sheriff's Office has done a truly lousy job as law enforcement officers.
From his first election in 1992 to at least 2010 (latest data I could find) crime rates rose substantially more in Maricopa County than in adjacent counties.
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office admitted that it solved crimes at a lower rate than other urban areas in Arizona BUT it had pink underwear, tent cities and vegan food for those arrested so Arpaio was doing a great job.
Last January, as part of Arpaio's crusade to arrest unauthorized immigrants in workplace raids, the Sheriff's Office actually went after the business owners for a change, arresting the owner of Uncle Sam's restaurants, Bret Frimmel, and manager, Lisa Norton. Charges against them were recently dismissed, and the county is getting sued over the arrests.
"They were wrongfully arrested and wrongfully prosecuted," attorney Leon Silver tells New Times. "Everything we've learned about [the MCSO's] investigation should have told them the owner did nothing wrong."
The allegations in this case are eerily similar to those in the Green Acre dog-deaths case, in which attorneys for the son and daughter-in-law of U.S. Senator Jeff Flake claim MCSO personnel purposely lied to get an indictment out of the grand jury.
A judge ruled earlier this month that the search warrant executed in the Uncle Sam's case was invalid, as the judge wrote the search warrant was obtained by way of a "reckless disregard for the truth."
"If they had been honest with magistrate judges, they would've never gotten a search warrant," Silver says. "If they had been honest with the grand jury, they would've never gotten an indictment."
Yet the mug of the Uncle Sam's owner was pasted everywhere, as after Arpaio's employment raids had landed more than 750 arrests, the Sheriff's Office had never arrested the ones doing the hiring until then.
Arpaio, the county, and others named in the lawsuit were just served today.
"You can imagine what this has done to my client's business," Silver says. He adds that Arpaio's fans have also berated the company and its owners over social media, e-mail, and telephone, chastising them for their arrests.
Don't you mean "complete nonsense methods"?The public thinks he's effective, but haters don't like his no-nonsense methods.
No, he used county money to spy on a judge's family to find blackmail material. This is the crap Arpaio does. He needs to be tossed in prison.
And, today, a whole new lawsuit. He raided a business and had the owners arrested, saying they were hiring illegals and getting them fake ID's. Except they weren't, and all charges dropped against them. This one will cost a few million more.
