We mentioned in The Skinny last week that Sam Stone, spokesman for the Pima County Republican Party, dismissed the effort to recall Sheriff Clarence Dupnik as “a stunt and nothing more.”
Now Trent Humphries of the Tucson Tea Party is calling Dan Baltes, the Salt Lake City man behind the recall, a “crook”:
If there is anyone who has given money to Baltes, now would be a good time to go through the procedure to get your money back.
According to the well-documented site Conning Conservatives, Dan has a long history of scams and is doing pretty good business in Arizona.

must be like taking candy from a baby or moron in this case.
maybe the deluded members of the tea party have realised that it does not pay to upset sane and responsible voters. Therefore they back-pedal their venom against a decent politician , Clarence Dupkin. The day of reckoning will come, or Arizona will remain the laughing stock of the world.
The whole world watched in disbelief as Dupkin said that conservative talk was responsible for the tragic shootings! I will be watching whether Dupkin is reelected or decides to retire. The citizens of his county will tell us if they agreed with his job performance!
