(5 posts)Arpaios thugs take the Arizona police state to a new, very criminal, high.
Sworn court papers have been filed in two cases pending before the high federal appellate court in San Francisco detailing Arizona law enforcements willingness to engage in serious felonies to assist the Sheriffs friends and to silence Arpaio critics. Arizona police have issued threats against civil litigation to protect Arpaios closest friend and top advisor (Justin Michael Nelson) from civil litigation AKA Police Obstruction of Justice and Police Federal Civil Rights Crimes. (18 U.S.C. §§ 241, 242) Arizona police have conspired with Dignity Health of San Francicso to silence a well-known critic of Arpaio via violence YES, attempted murder to be exact, now being covered up by Arpaio police state stooges. Sensational stuff, but, all on the appellate record, sworn and undisputed.
Situation normal for Arizona, official felony crimes against the justice system and official crimes of violence to assist Arpaio and Arpaios cronies by threatening critics and foisting police sponsored violence against those in the cross-hairs of Arpaios Maricopa County Sheriffs Office (MCSO). Those with a knowledge of Arizona law enforcement and government should not be a surprised as to how the Arizona police state operates. The bold criminal conduct of police caught in these cases reveals the state of lawlessness existing in Arizona whereby law enforcement doesnt even bother to cover-up their crimes satisfactorily. It is truly anything goes concerning police misconduct and outright police crime in Arizona.

(152,964 posts)when Brits learned I lived in Texas, they would ask me what I thought of George W. Bush. I told them he will be your worst nightmare - endless war and a crashed economy. From Romney I imagine even worse.

(40,150 posts)I felt like it was a coup and was angry for a very long time. After 2004, I also was depressed for months. Watching all those neocons like Dan Senor and Ari Fleischer on television for all those years damaged my health! Mitt is surrounded by these same people. If he wins, it will be a disaster.
I don't understand how anyone could think going back to this cabal is good for this country.

and it is so sad to see our country crumble when things were going quite well when Clinton was in office.
Hell the Repubs tried to "impeach" him....shit...LOOK at him now.....he's a MASTER. I will be calmer when all this is over.

A new age of caring will come about in the world where stakeholders will be more important than stockholders.
But there will be a lot of pain and suffering before and not everyone will survive.
It may be we have to go through a cleansing of the mind before we learn.

We can only control what we do
Most likely if the unthinkable happens, it will be a worse replay of bush since most of the people on Romneys team are bush people
Why people may not realize that is beyond me
We just have to fight longer
In all seriousness though the issues are on our side
The republicans really did declare war on women, and they will lose because of that

(1,277 posts)Keep in mind there is a large swath of our population that greatly admires wealth. There is also a large swath that thinks they can achieve that too. Some can, and will, but most are dreamers who lack the intellectual capacity to actually do it.
The family that owns my company is wealthy beyond belief and for whatever reason many employees here admire them greatly and treat them with respect that they frankly don't deserve while others like me see them for the cretins that they are.

(15,214 posts)I have to remind myself to remain calm. I literally wake up from a sound sleep from the thought of Romney as President. It's because I had to live through George Bush, first as governor and then as President. It's some kind of post traumatic stress, I think. (Not trying to diminish the effect of REAL PTSD, either, but think this is along the same lines).
All we can do and all that we MUST do is to turn out the votes. Like you, I am bumfuzzled that reasonably intelligent people, especially WOMEN, cannot see Romney for what he truly is - a liar, a thief, and an egomaniac.

(461 posts)This election makes me very nervous and I also had to live with GWB as governor and Pres (now that slime ball Rick Perry, ugh) and fear Romney would be much, much worse.
BUT, I have a good feeling about this...November 6th can't get here soon enough.

(312 posts)It makes me sick to my core to think that Romney is even within spitting distance of winning this thing. The guy is such a total hack and a fraud. I hope that enough of the electorate come to see that clearly enough to not make such a horrible mistake.

(489 posts)Screw the polls. Once again, all of the little, sidelight stories are exposing Romney as the mean-spirited, arrogant piss-pot that he is. Specifically, I refer to the story about his idiot son wanting to punch the President. Thank you, Tagg (where do they get these names?) for keeping you daddy's penchant for lying as easily as we little people breathe.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I'd bet the ranch that Willard will go into the final debate feeling the heat and will say something incredibly stupid, which could finish him off.
