I clicked on the article by mistake. The article was Arpaio scores good news despite controversy. I thought it was about joe's 11 year old mexican girlfriend deciding to abort the fetus.

I cannot help wondering how many of those so called OUT OF STATE contributions came from people with retirement homes in Arizona or from Arizonans with homes in other states.

Out of state donors??? I guess they like to waste money on garbage.

I was just wondering where the proof Sheriff Joe has about President Obama and his place of birth? If he has it, Mitt Romney is paying big money for something to use to get Obama off his back.

When your biggest base of support is Sun City and Youngstown, you're in trouble.

It just doesn't seem right that campaign money comes from people who don't have to live with the results of elections.

Am I wrong?

I agree. So do you condem the Obama campaign raising money in China? Or looney clooney raising money for Obama in Europe? Nah... Didn't think so.

Clooney raised money from AMERICANS in Europe - I haven't heard about China but I guarantee IF it's true - it's the same situation. You cons are really desperate now, aren;t you? LMAO

State election money should be confined to the voters who are affected by the results.

National elections not only the country, but the world.

Are you opposed to Mitt having and getting money all over the world? I doubt it.

That is NOT his job. We disagree, but I respect your opinion.

"California provided Arpaio's largest out-of-state base of support, followed by Texas and Florida."

If CA can buy results in AZ elections, it's time to stop backing the wrong horse.

Not all that surprising, California has just as many ray-cysts and bee-bots as any other state.

One has to wonder what kind of fools live in Maricopa County.

This is what is wrong with politics today. Some county sheriff getting 80% of his campaign money from out of state. A sheriff, nothing more.

If you don't live in a state you should not be allowed to contribute to any in state race.

Exactly! It just doesn't seem right.

Sheriff Joe is a hero of the people. The corrupt Obama/Holder administration with their deliberate lies, deceit, and withholding of information is trying to discredit him. The people know better.

He might be your hero, but most people recognize him for the narcissistic, bloviating, sociopathic bully that he is. He'll be lucky if he's not wearing one of his own pink jumpsuits in the next couple of years.

You need not be concerned. Soon all the crooks involved in Fast and Furious will be exposed and out of office.

Every time Joe speaks in front of a camera a few more people join the Democratic Party.
