"I wonder if Amanda Fleming is going to be upset when you have to pay 3.8 percent to the Feds when you sell your house starting in 2013 as per the Health Care Bill. Add this to your HOA payment, the funny thing is I don't hear any one complaining about that."
"Well, what do your know? Our stupid representatives want to allow sales of beer and wine at university games. Why not? There is nothing better than a drunken student packing a gun. Way to go, you idiots!"
"Gila River thrice votes out freeway on ‘sacred' land! Sacred? It's a pigpen, as are most of the houses on the rez! Maybe this is where they store the stolen cars! What a shame. This shows what happens when the government forces a group to live on handouts. Now, a church may be demolished, as well as 100 homes, because a group of people living on government handouts feel they are being infringed upon! The Native Americans who were displaced by the government are long gone, and this idiotic handout mentality should be revisited soon."
"That's funny. One of Sheriff Joe's inmates escapes and we don't hear a word about it. Then, other law enforcement agencies catch the guy and Joe holds a press conference. That, folks, tells you all you need to know about Sheriff Joe."
"Joe Arpaio: The world's most expensive and senile sheriff."
"Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he plans to release his preliminary findings on Barack Hussein Obama's citizenship on March 1. ‘Tea Party' advocates have collected 100,000 petition signatures nationally in support of Sheriff Joe's formal law enforcement investigation into concerns Obama may submit fraudulent documentation to be put on the state's election ballot in 2012."
"Remember, the politicians work for you, you don't work for them. Make them pass your laws, not theirs."
"When I first learned of Justice Ginsberg's comment (re: the U.S. Constitution), I was somewhat taken aback. But in reality, the United States does need to consider revamping our Constitution to bring it into line with thoughts and beliefs of the 21st Century. One must admit, many of the issues backing up the federal courts today are there due to antiquated beliefs and principals which no longer apply in today's society and require amending or being taken off the books. Canada, a much younger country, rewrote their constitution after only 120 years."
"Mr. Speaker, if you are running to become a President suggest you learn the ‘King's English.' It is not Mass-ah-choo-sis, it's pronounced Mass-ugh-choose-its. Better yet, for the Georgian student, refer to the state as ‘Mass.' "
"Unions are now a problem. They are bankrupting cites and states by their greed. City and state employees are being paid with working taxpayer dollars, taxpayers who also have hard, dangerous jobs and the same problems government or school employees have. We pay them higher wages than we have and we have no pension programs. It is time we do what they do; cry like babies. They retire young with pensions and insurance benefits while we get nothing."
"Would someone please tell Mr. Obama that he was ‘elected' to the White House, not ‘anointed.' The Oval Office is a sacred place to the American people. When we see Mr. Obama putting his shoes up on the President Rutheford B. Hays Presidential Desk that was given to America by Queen Victoria of England in 1880, it is disrespectful to America and England. Mr. President, the Oval Office furniture are irreplaceable treasures, not castoffs from the Chicago City Hall warehouse. Sir, you are a temporary occupant, not an permanent owner, Please act accordingly."

"I have Cox cable, internet and phone, yet several times a week I receive flyers trying to convince me to switch to Cox. Does their billing and sales departments not talk to each other? Maybe they should change their name to Cox No Communication!"
"Madonna's performance was boring. Who wants to watch an over-the-hill temptress lip sync music that was marginal when it was first performed over 20 years ago? The NFL and NBC got what they deserved inviting her and her cohorts."
"Folks, don't you get a kick out of the Liberals, Progressives and Democrats always referring to Obama as the ‘POTUS' (President Of The United States)? I think they have this confused with what everybody else refers to Obama, the "putz" in the White House."
"Control illegal immigration and the economy will automatingly be helped. More jobs available, less welfare to pay out."
"(We need to) stay the (heck) out of countries who want to kill their people. We do not need another war or our young people dying because of their stupidity."
"I've heard that some believe the Tea Party people will have no influence in the Republican party primary, and that the movement is dying. The Tea Party was never meant to be a national organization. It is a grassroots movement, and that is where you will find it - at the local and state level."
"You gotta wonder what State Senator Lori Klein has been sniffing. She wants to take a perfectly good public safety law: ‘keep your dog on a leash when in public' and feed it to the dogs. She asks whether it's proper for HOA's to fine dog owners who let their mutts run free to deposit their dog doo on their neighbor's property and assault neighbors, including young children. Yes Lori, that's exactly what HOA's ought to be doing. In fact Lori, sounds like it's time to put you on a short leash as well."
"Jon Beydler stepped over the line in his last Guest Commentary by saying that George W. Bush and his ‘group of losers' couldn't catch bin Laden. Those people he is calling ‘losers' are heroes - members of the U.S. Military. Not funny, Jon. Not funny."
"Below zero temperatures and unusually heavy snow (3 to 7 feet high) barreled across Europe this month. The European Union considers ‘global warming' to be a scientific fact, but with Europe is in the freezer the climate experts have gone silent."
"The federal government continues to pays $120 million yearly to federal retirees that are dead, according to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and federal agencies. Not including about $687 million mistakenly paid to delinquent government contractors and beneficiaries. The federal government continues to add $2.5 billion more to the national debt every day as the U.S. is facing a $15.5 trillion debt."

"In Friday's Vent, a Venter points out that the least literate cities are all border cities. Cities like Stockton, Calif. and Bakersfield and Fresno and Aurora, Colorado? I'm sure this Venter is either Sarah Palin or ‘border-sheriff' Paul Babeu, to which I reply: Hey dudes and dudette, I can also see the border from my apartment balcony in Mesa."
"Mitt Romney has stated more than once that he is not concerned about the very poor because they already have a safety net and if it needs to be repaired he would fix it. His idea of a repair shows in his proposal for income tax reform. His proposal would raise taxes for people making less than $10,000 per year and lower the taxes for the people at the top."
"Is there a worse place in the US of A to listen to AM radio than the Phoenix area? I was listening to the NASCAR program Saturday night on ESPN/KTAR 620 when halfway through the program KTAR switched to some jerk selling vitamins. What a shell of itself KTAR has become."
"I am appalled at Ronald Pies of Tempe for being appalled at Joe Arpaio! Pies, what are you going to do when Joe wins the November election with 60 percent of the vote? Are you going to go to your liberal friend, Randy Parraz, for another illegal recall? Pies, that is the only chance you liberals have, and guess what, that will not work either! So why don't you people just shut up. I am tired of listening to you idiots!"
"It is beyond absurd for Friday's Venter to compare Jan Brewer's nasty, deliberate exchange with our visiting president with Michelle Obama's somewhat improper protocol with England's queen. Now, if Mrs. Obama were to stick her finger in the queen's face and scream at her, I suppose the Venter would have a point. And for your information, there were lots of heads of state who were not invited to last year's royal wedding, because - after all - it was a wedding, not a gathering of the G8."
"So the inmates on Arizona's death row are suing once again. This time they don't like the Department of Corrections director's ‘protocols,' whatever that means. Well heck, I have a simple solution. Instead of all of these ‘namby-pamby' injections and whatever, just bring back ‘Old Smokie,' the Arizona electric chair. Two ‘birds' with one stone."
"Please extend my sympathy to your guest columnist, Mr. McClellan, on his loss of hearing. Governor Brewer stated via multiple interviews with a variety of media outlets, and quite consistently each time in a very professional manner, what happened during the exchange with the president. No worries, I'm sure there is a government program out there that will help him pay for the medical services needed to correct his hearing loss. But only he can fix his flagrant bias."
"Joe Biden chastises conservatives, calling them greedy and selfish, yet out of the $389,000 he made last year he gave a mere $369 to charities. I guess when he said Democrats were more generous he meant with other people's money!"
"Recently, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg denigrated the U.S. Constitution, saying that ours should not be a role model for other countries. She feels that the constitution of countries like Canada and South Africa are superior to ours. Perhaps we should outsource Ms. Ginsberg to some foreign country since she obviously doesn't support U.S. interests or laws. How did this traitor weasel her way onto the highest legal bench of our country?"
"UofA assistant basketball coach Joe Pasternak's face in the ‘kicking' video says it all. Why not just show the video of the courtside confrontation with the California player, Gutierrez, and let the public figure it out. Gutierrez clearly hears Pasternak make some comments when the incident occurs and is in the coach's face in a heartbeat. College sports are looking more like the WWF every week it seems."
