"Vote 'no' on (Tuesday). First, you have a state budget, stick to it - no override. If that is allowed for education, why not for health, roadways, etc.? It's for the kids - bologna, that dog won't hunt anymore!"

-

"Vote 'no' on (Tuesday) unless you want an albatross hung around your neck for the next eight years! Pish-posh when they say it is for the kids - it is to load up salaries when it hasn't been justified. Enrollment numbers are down in Mesa, check it out."

-

"I was inspired by Rep. Jeff Flake's adventures on a desert isle. Now, if only we could get the rest of the members of the House and Senate to go to a desert isle, and stay there. Oh, and take Mr. Obama with you!"

-

"Bravo, Sheriff Joe (Arpaio)! (Friday's) newspaper heading, crime is down (in Mesa), biggest drop in 50 years. Homicides 31 percent drop from a year ago. Who says he's not helping the East Valley!"

-

"Break the law, then the sheriff has the right to arrest you. If you have proof he did something wrong, then he should be arrested. But they never have proof. Just remember, the people voted for him and the people have the right to vote him out of office. I doubt that will happen."

-

"I thought Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid said only the Republicans are unethical. Now it seems most of the Democratic leadership in the House is under investigation."

-

"Mr. (Al) Gore, global warming is making me cold."

-

"Tell me again to suck it up because Social Security receives no cost of living increase while Congress gives themselves a raise and the president with his family travel the world. ... Tell me again I should have run for Congress where you retire with a large sum and medical treatment is a given for life because AIG holds all their cards. Tell me again and again to suck it up because America wanted this change."
