saw on his facebook he is making a trip to indiana to speak at a few events about immigration. does anyone know anything about what events and where they are? it would be priceless if he came to bloomington
Welcome to Facebook
will be speaking at three Republican Party fundraising events around Indiana this week.
says he'll talk about his support for Arizona's law cracking down on people suspected of being in the country illegally.
Waiting to see what the reply to this will be.
Could it be asking for I.D.
To answer your question directly .. I can recall NO ACTIONS .
If you would read on ....
This a combination of two different times I talked to Joe on KFYI 910 AM Phoenix .
When KFYI was still at that frequency years ago .. early 2000 's ( ? )
I called in and asked him if he would arrest someone that was carrying a concealed sidearm . ( back then there was no permits given to AZ citizens . )
He said he would . I then brought up the AZ Constitution :
Format Document
and the US Constitution and reminded him of his oath of office .
At this point he started in on his hyperbole of enforcing laws , being Americas toughest Sheriff , etc. ... I ask if we could get back to the question at hand and he in a very condescending tone asked if I was a lawyer ... interesting question to answer a question . No I said . He started talking about how I sounded like one ... well we're up against the clock sorry we have to go click ... dial tone .
No answer to the question after the break .
Fast forward a couple of years and he is sitting in for Bob Mohan on drive time talk .
He has an FBI agent in , I think the guy was just appointed the new director of the Phoenix division ... anyway I call in and get on .
I ask the agent where in the Constitution does it authorize a national police force ? I. E . the FBI .
He informs me that congress passed act " xyz " that created the FBI .
I re asked the question , where is the authority at in the Constitution ?
At this point Joe steps in and asks if I am one of those guys that believes the Sheriff is the top law enforcement officer of the county ...Yeah I do . Never acknowledging that the Sheriff is ... Then he starts talking about how good the FBI is out there fighting the good fight and how he worked real hard in the DEA fighting drugs in South America .. so on so on .. call time up ... commercial .. dial tone .
I have called into talk radio quite a bit ... I have even sat in at a couple of stations before as a counterpoint guest .. I understand the clock .. and that you are a slave to it behind the microphone .
He would not deal with the question .. redirect the subject ( cheap Jedi mind trick ) , protect his guest .
You guys can believe what you want .. yes he runs a good jail and has saved Maricopa county a ton of money and he looks good on Fox news when they interview him .
He appears to be doing a good job with the invasion from Mexico .. the pink underwear .. chain gangs ... tent city and the Sheriff's posse save money . But he rides 'em like a government mule when he gets on TV.
Everything Joe does is for and about Joe .. plain and simple .
Now I can't prove it .. but that is what I believe .
If it comes down between your Constitution / Rights and enforcing the " law " ... you're gonna lose. If it comes down to him getting in between you and a Federal agency ... a la Waco or Ruby Ridge .. he will back off and let his old work buddies at the different federal bureaucracies come right on in .
So there you go .. that is the way it happened when I interacted with him and that is the way I see it .
You may now start my crucifixion ..
Thank you

well put together post!! rep given
I lived in Maricopa County for 2 years while in college, and if you have never been to that part of the country I can tell you first hand there is a HUGE illegal population. Where I went to school in South Phoenix was such a bad area it was truely scary to be in. I really don't disagree with Joe one bit, since if he wasn't doing what he is doing I would only imagine things out there would only get worse. I really wish I could have gone to here him speak since we are only 30 minuets or so from Corydon.He treats criminals like criminals.... He also treats noncriminals like criminals. He treats EVERYBODY who disagrees with him LIKE CRIMINALS...
