...I'm the guy who moved from Silicon Valley to the middle of the Nevada desert in late 2012. Politics here are off-the-chart conservative, "Obama wants to take my guns" conspiracy theory stuff. One of the TOP contenders in the race for Sheriff on June 10th is a guy who pulled over a young couple on a routine traffic stop in 1986 and made the woman "partially disrobe" for no apparent reason other than he wanted to make her do it. The case went to trial, he was "exonerated of all charges" but due to pressure from the department / internal affairs he resigned anyway. He was recently arrested for stealing his opponents' campaign signs (they caught him red-handed and VIDEO TAPED HIM). He also got charged with resisting arrest. He can be seen on the video arguing with officers and propping his foot against the squad car door so they couldn't close it. They ended up putting aa second seat belt on him, around his legs. This guy is the front runner because he has basically greased the palms of the "power people" in town.
So Colorado Springs politics, in comparison, is like a breath of fresh air to me.
