So Sheriff Joe is offering a reward (Aug. 5 Tribune) to catch whomever is vandalizing his “Elect Arpaio” signs he placed everywhere on taxpayer-owned public right-of-way. Who’s responsible for fining Joe for violating state laws ARS 9-500.14 and ARS 15-511, which forbid ALL electioneering on government-controlled property? One law forbids all election signs on city-controlled easement, where most of his signs are. The second with a per sign fine, forbids such signs on school district-owned easement, where politicians love to put their sign graffiti. Doesn’t anyone care about the annual sign mess?

Whining from the Left regarding Mitt Romney’s silence to the sounds of renewed birther cries are hilarious and hypocritical. Romney is not the least bit responsible for the views of Donald Trump and would be foolish to jump into the fray of this non-issue.

When Obama was running for president he said George W. Bush was irresponsible and unpatriotic for racking up $3 trillion in debt in his eight years in office. In just three years in office, President Obama has racked up close to $6 trillion in debt. So by Obama's own definition would he not be twice as irresponsible and less patriotic then the man he described as ruining our children's future and our country?

I did not vote for Barack Obama, but he is my president.

“Steve Nash, don’t leave Phoenix! Please! New York is not a tax-friendly state and Toronto isn’t even in the United States! Yeah, I know you’re originally Canadian, but we can’t afford to lose you! Please stay with the Suns!”

MESA -- The Republican presidential candidates are trying to avoid a debate on contraception and instead are looking to keep the focus of their criticism on President Barack Obama.

"It was as though President Obama thought he would lecture me and I would learn at his knee," Gov Brewer said. "He was patronizing." No, Jan. In response to your writing a book called "Scorpions for Breakfast, My Fight Against Special Interests [getting kickbacks from friends who run privately managed state prisons] Liberal Media [who report on those kickbacks] and Cynical Politicos [who call you out for your brain freezes]" you got a lecture on Constitutional Law from a Constitutional Law professor. The President did you a favor. Enroll in law school and you'll get such lectures on almost a daily basis. Getting that lecture in private beats getting it on the tarmac or through the liberal media!

On the way home, I listened to the radio report of the interaction between President Obama and Gov. Brewer. I also heard an on-air interview with Gov. Brewer.

Looks like we have another Jimmy Carter President in the White House. Barack Hussein Obama has been kissing up to the Muslim world since he became president. Could it be from his Muslim childhood in Indonesia? He hardly had a “Yankee Doodle Dandy” childhood. His parents met at a Russian language class in the 1960s at the University of Hawaii (now who studied Russian back in those days, Marxists maybe?). On one of his first overseas trips as president he meets the King of Saudi Arabia (Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques) and gives him a full bow from the waist. No other president has bowed down to any head of state in our history. Then Obama apologizes to the Muslim world for America’s past “transgressions” at the University of Cairo. Yes, Cairo, where our U.S. Embassy was overrun. What does the Obama Administration do? It issues another “apology.” “The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts of misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims...”

Having read your March 6 article, “Brewer disagrees with Arpaio finding, believes Obama birth record real,” I think a few comments are in order.

On Wednesday, I got to see the four candidates from the Republican Party for president, and I am completely disgusted with the hierarchy of the party. Ron Paul is more than likely a very good gynecologist, but he is certainly not prepared to be president.

The president of the United States of America visits Arizona to highlight the success of Intel, one of the largest employers in the state, and is greeted at the airport by a governor, representing our state, wagging her finger in his face. Jan Brewer's incredibly rude behavior, lack of decorum and civility, and plain bad manners are despicable and inexcusable. As a resident of the state, I am deeply embarrassed, ashamed, angered, and disgusted by the small, childish, divisive, partisan, domineering, and mean actions of she and the myriad of our other local, regional, and state so called "leaders". In their "all-knowing omniscience", they know exactly what is going to be in the State of the Union address before it is even given. Before the president's plane even lands in Arizona and he gives his speech at Intel, they know he is going to claim credit for Intel's success. Their petty, negative, destructive words and actions give us all a bad name. They are not what will "lead" Arizona into a productive and prosperous future. Ms. Brewer can try to put all the "spin" she wants on her behavior, but Arizona has become the laughing stock of the nation, and those who would defend or excuse her behavior are part of the problems in this state.

Mesa Mayor Scott Smith saw and heard the heated tarmac confrontation between President Barack Obama and Gov. Jan Brewer, but he's not convinced her finger pointing was what it appeared to be in the already infamous photo.

I can tell when a tea party adherent authors a letter you publish: They always get the facts wrong. Gary Larson (Nov 25, 2011) seems like a typical Kool-Aid drinking member of the tea party. He claims President Barack Obama has increased the national debt by more than $6 trillion dollars in three years while George W. Bush increased it a mere $3 trillion in eight years. These are fictional figures probably regurgitated from a talking head on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh.

Is America about to explode, is it a bubbling cauldron about to erupt? How much more deceit, betrayal, outright perjury from elected officials, media, and talking heads can be tolerated before the insanity becomes the catalyst for an event no one wants? At some point the enemy within shall be checked!

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Known to the Twitterverse and the president of the United States as "Mohawk Guy" of the Mars mission, Bobak Ferdowsi could be the changing public face of NASA and all of geekdom.

“May I be so brash as to query: When does the ‘media’ have the authority to ‘call’ an election? The votes aren’t officially counted and the media is naming the president. Not only is this Chicago politics as usual, maybe there’s a south-of-the-border train of thought as well.”

“I am sure most Democrats don’t understand the comment about how Carmona should protect women by snubbing Clinton. They either weren’t alive in the 90’s or aren’t smart enough to realize the man’s actions have proven time and again what he really thinks of the role of women. Their continuing support of him tells me everything I need to know about the Democratic party. That is why I left the party to become an independent.”

“By publishing the liberal ravings of a retired English teacher who supports his assertions with bogus data from liberal rags barely one week apart, advocating the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama and gun control, I must conclude that the EV Tribune supports socialism and a defenseless citizenry. For his information, it is already illegal to transport firearms across the border into Mexico, except for the Feds. Governor Jan Brewer and other Arizona politicians are not afraid of the NRA, they are implementing the wishes of the citizens of Arizona.”

Mitt Romney would like the middle class to vote for him but, looking at his record, this would be a disaster for the middle class and all of America.

“I’m alarmed at the number of people killed on city streets. Is it possible some think airbags are a substitute for seatbelts? Most police say they never find a dead person wearing a seatbelt. Parents — if you’re smart you’ll set an example by always buckling up and insisting your children do the same.”

This week marks the second anniversary for Obamacare (PPACA)! Studies just published say it will cost more than DOUBLE of what originally thought. 67 percent of Americans don’t like the Health Care Bill. The midterm 2010 election results, with the democrats losing 63 seats in a House election, were based on a citizen uprising, a true revolt against Obamacare and the huge national debt. Voters know that if Obama is reelected, Obamacare is here to stay! I grew up in Canada where my Father was a heart surgeon.

Very strange how the media screamed about the amount of time it took President Bush to send FEMA and government workers and government aid to the individuals who lost their homes, etc. when the hurricane hit New Orleans. Why have we not heard a peep from the media in the past few years while the tornadoes devastated the middle of our country. Why is it that the media showed, and told, of the devastation caused to the hundreds of homes and the individuals living in the states who lost everything they owned to mother nature, but never questioned why the Obama government was not on the scene the very next day, and why the Obama government did not supply homes for those who lost their home and all their belongings in the horrific weather in the past three years?

In response to the numerous “Venters” who support Sheriff Joe:
