Arpaio is a master of the sound byte. He has this old west lawman motiff going, plus look at Phoenix; lots of retired folks to play his tough on crime image.

The Tea Party was co-opted a few years ago back when they and the future OWS had points in common, but you won't hear a peep about that.

I'm sure he'll go along with the gun confiscations when they pull that. Won't THAT be a surprise for his Tea Party supporters-those that avoid his hyperactive police.
