Sheriff Joe Wins Again

Sheriff Joe is to liberals as Obama is to conservatives.  Neither side can bring the other down.
From the Arizona Republic: Organizers fell short Thursday in gathering the required number of valid signatures to recall Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
The grass-roots group Respect Arizona needed to submit 335,317 valid signatures by 5 p.m.
Lilia Alvarez, the group’s campaign organizer, said that more than 300,000 signatures were collected but that the group will not submit the petitions for a count “out of respect to voters and taxpayers.”...
Arpaio, in a released statement, said the group is declining to say exactly how many signatures were collected “because they are embarrassed by the level of their failure.”
He called the group’s reason for not turning over the signatures in order to save the county taxpayers money “a little disingenuous.”
“After months of name-calling, after the disparaging effigies and theatrics aimed at getting media attention to include even bringing chickens and protesters to my office repeatedly, this latest recall effort has failed,” Arpaio said. “This effort failed because the good people of Maricopa County, whom I’m honored to serve, rejected the wrong-headed idea of overturning an election.”
Arpaio was elected to his sixth consecutive term in November.  http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20130530sheriff-joe-arpaio-recall-effort-fails.html?nclick_check=1
I'll bet a dollar to doughnuts that the organizers didn't even close the 300,000 signatures they claim to have and many of those, I'd be willing to bet were signed by illegals.
