Reply #25: Understand that this has been no secret since the primaries

[Tansy_Gold]

Paul Babeu is a slime bucket. You don't need to be told what party he belongs to. He's just plain slime. He's a Joe Arpaio wanna be, hates people of color, literally a skinhead, and there are those who have suggested he's a self- and gay-hating gay.

Paul supported Shaun's bid for JP. Shaun is no more qualified to be a judge than I am. The two brothers have a long history of bankruptcies and foreclosures, which they partly blame on the fact that they were molested by the family priest as children. (They got a substantial settlement from the RC church, but that money is long long long gone.)

No, I'm not making this up.

During the primary race, it was REPEATEDLY brought out that there would be a conflict of interest. People REPEATEDLY said that all it would take for any criminal brought to the JP court to get off would be a claim of conflict of interest. That would mean bringing in another judge who would have to be paid. Judge Shaun would still collect his $100K salary, but do nothing. (As one puke friend of mine said the other morning, "Well, he can always perform weddings! Who in hell elected this guy?" I know the person who said that voted for him.)

Understand, too, that they are great good buddies with our county supervisor, War Hero Retired USAF Helicopter Pilot Bryan Martyn, himself a notorious deadbeat, bankrupt, and foreclosee.

I grew up in the Chicago area during the original Mayor Daley years, and Pinal County is 10 times more corrupt than the Daley Machine could ever hope to have been. Maybe Mayor Rahm can give the Babeu Brothers a run for their money, but it will still be two against one, and I'm not sure Rahm can take them.
