Sheriff Joe Arpaio's arrest and jailing of journalists is part of a pattern of trying to silence critics.
It is an outrageous abuse of power.
But he loves the publicity, even when it backfires.
Arpaio relishes law enforcement by headline.
Today he rounds up Mexicans.
Tomorrow's target is anybody's guess.

Christie claimed that “Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear to end the torrent of debt.”
Actually, Romney’s plan — which includes $10.7 trillion in tax cuts — would make the debt significantly worse.

Strange how the Repubs have a " debt clock " on their stage but refuse to let the man who created nearly all that debt speak at their convention.

Obama needs to remind people:
"We've never had a chance to implement 'Obama economics'
because I've been busy putting out Bush fires since Day One."
yes of course absolutely
"This man will not fail. This man will not let us down. This man will lift up America!
You can trust Mitt. He loves America. He will take us to a better place, just as he
took me home safely from that dance where we first met."

Christie is the the perfect example of a Republican who believes
history began the day Obama took office
know who takes the "work out of welfare"?
Millionaires like Mitt who get massive tax breaks for doing no work at all
Christie.
He is way too angry.

By contrast, Obama started with NOTHING and already made it to the top.
Obama didn't have a rich Dad to loan him $10M to start a vulture capitalist firm.
Immigration hardliner Russell Pearce’s burning desire to return to office in Arizona got doused with cold water on Tuesday night when he lost the Republican primary for state Senate to a moderate businessman who took a softer tone on immigration.
It was the second time in less than a year that Pearce, a tea party favorite who was once one of the most powerful politicians in Arizona, was put to bed by a moderate and it marked the end of a disastrous attempt to regain his standing in state politics.

Get the bag! - Ralph Kramden
hun i tried to remain a coy/shy demure hussy with my reply
his snarky comment made no sense so why battle a dolt?
Well I am old enough to have lived through many Republicans administrations and here what I would expect
1 - Republicans have stated they would move to repeal the health care law, therefore about 30 million people would lose their healthcare and insurance companies would go back to denying coverage for pre existing conditions, etc ...
2 - US will wage 1 or 2 wars probably on Iran or Syria or both
3 - New administration will make the Bush tax cuts permanent and give additional tax cuts at the expense of adding the poor to the pool and removing some tax breaks (home mortgage insurance, etc ... )
4 - Give the oil companies rights to drill wherever they can find oil
5 - Cut welfare to the poor and students
6 - Try reforming medicare and social security by doing means testing and vouchers.
Now balancing the budget and reducing the debt would remain VERY ELUSIVE (in my opinion) because their idea of cutting the deficit is based on the hopes that all of a sudden the growth would be between 4 and 8 percent.
If you like what you read then by all means you should vote Republican
Having said that I am not sure the Repugnants have the secret sauce
And while I'm at it, if the Republicans so strongly believe that government should stay out of our personal lives, then why are they so bent on telling women what they can and cannot do with their bodies?
gop fat cats st it again:
Giveaways to the rich, tax the regular folks.
Shameful!
the gop will NOT be able to replace the 20 trllion in home equity
that was lost in thin air that started the whole mess
Projected election cost: $5,800,000,000;
Taxpayer cost of conventions: $136,000,000;
Romney: worth $230,000,000;
Obama: worth $8,000,000;
Average household annual income: $55,000.
Just shedding some perspective.
Christie mentioned “Mitt Romney” just 7 times during his speech, but said “I” 37 times.

Everyone has a right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege.
she is a loser and brainwashed
With choreographed conventions, is something lost?
lordy lou
another kodak moment would be seeing his humongus tush
ISAAC is just sitting & spinning over south Louisiana.
80mph winds & rain are relentless.
No end in sight.
Over 241,000 customers without power in the New Orleans metro area.
Looking ugly.
going to be a scary night for those in NO...
they should expect hurricane force winds for around 15 hours
starting about now (excluded eye), not that far off Katrina that would have been 20 hours (12 mph vs 8mph movement of Isaac)
that's a long extended hammering that will probably create a fair amount of wind damage
what makes it worse, NO is on the east side of the storm whereas it was on the West side for Katrina (Katrina was bad for surge, but not so much for wind)
likely not a repeat of 2005 in terms of flooding, but I think the structural will be comparable
I have a feeling the Presidential election is gonna be pretty
close.
Heck, Mitt might even win but I'd be willing to sacrifice
another 4 years of O running the show strictly because if O wins
I know our on board resident gop will be doing the impersonation of the girl in the Exorcist movie,,,You know,,sitting on the kitchen floor with her head spinning around yelling, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
that would be freaking priceless.
Ron Paul supporters put dent in unity at GOP convention
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/28/ron-paul-supporters-put-dent-in-unity-at-gop-convention/
Tampa, Florida (CNN) - The always-vocal supporters of Ron Paul made one final push to support the Texas congressman's bid for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination Tuesday, and in the process made their displeasure at the GOP establishment known as official proceedings at the Republican National Convention got underway.
Paul's supporters shouted and booed when rules were adopted as part of the Republican Party's official platform that would hinder the kind of grassroots campaign that carried Paul to the national convention.

The booing turned to cheers, however, when Paul stepped out onto the convention floor. Shouts of "let him speak" broke out from his supporters, who are fervently loyal to the libertarian congressman who is making his third and, he says, final bid for the presidency.
When their candidate received any delegates in the state-by-state roll call, Paul's supporters delivered loud cheers. However, convention organizers ultimately made a decision to stop calling out the Paul delegates.
That decision was met with furious cries from Paul's supporters, who said their voices weren't being heard at the Republican Party's official gathering. When states listed delegate votes for both Romney and Paul, party officials at the podium listed only the votes assigned to Romney, who secured enough delegates Tuesday to officially clinch the GOP nomination.
At one point, delegates from Maine walked off the convention floor in protest of a Republican National Committee decision to replace 10 of the 20 delegates Paul had secured in the state. That move prevented Maine from submitting Paul's name for nomination.
"I wanted to see the chairman keep it fair," Tom Bronza, a delegate and Ron Paul supporter from Pennsylvania, told CNN. "I just wanted to see the yeas and nays on the rolls. I knew it would be close. I wanted to record the numbers and wanted the chair to announce it. He didn't. I am disappointed in that. But that's the way the cards fell."
Bronza said the treatment from national Republicans toward Paul supporters had him seriously weighing whether he would vote for Mitt Romney in November.
"The way I was treated here today, I felt like I was picked on a lot by a number of different people, so I'm not too happy about that, and you know, if I was well received and no shenanigans, I would have considered it in November," Bronza said.
