On another note, everyone in here who is so concerned with Hunt’s views on drug policies should redirect their attention. Let’s stop focusing our attention on something as insignificant as Marijuana. Hunt is offering to re-establish our right to protect ourselves. Hunt respects the second amendment that this state has “infringed” upon. Vote for “shall issue” or vote to be a victim, the choice is up to you.

Wow. This Art guy obviously does NOT have his facts straight. I noticed on post #31 that he claims 90% of Corona’s supporters are backing Hutchens now, you could not be more wrong my friend. I only wish I had enough room to type out a breakdown of just how ignorant and bias you are.

So far, the only baggage I have herd about is from you, Art. Perhaps you would feel better if Hunt used Former Chief of Police, San Clemente instead. At least Hunt is honest with his current career.

It seems that all of Hunter’s campaign material keeps referring to him as Chief, not Deputy Chief, which I think is misleading.

#33,

Hunt is running with the ballot designation of “Private Investigator.” How does that sound compared to “Deputy Chief of the Anaheim Police” and “Appointed OC Sheriff?”

Whitacre was Hunt’s campaign manager. He is still highly involved in Hunt’s campaign. They got smart and took the title away as he is major baggage at this point.

Dunno Art. How is this Whitacre fellow involved with Hunt? The way you keep bringing him up you’d think he was hiding under your bed. There is an article in Total Buzz today where Hunt says that Hutchens and Hunter have never received a single vote from anyone and Hunt recieved 80,000 votes narrowly missing the run off against Schroeder’s boy Carona (Schroeder’s new boy is Hunter). The theory is that he is the only one with name recognition. Does that count for anything?

It’s always the same losers saying the same things. I really don’t see how you could not like the guy. I met Hunt at his recent volunteer meeting and let me tell you what I know from experience. Bill Hunt will be the next Sheriff of Orange County. Over 100 volunteers packed into his volunteer meeting to assist in any and every way possible. I would love to see either opponet fill up a phone booth. Hutchens will need at least 1 million in the bank to even compete with the Bill Hunt operation.

Let’s see… the choices are

Bill Hunt: sought the endorsement of a man accused of violating civil rights in Arizona

vs.

Craig Hunter: handed out the civil rights violations himself at the end of his baton.

If it comes down to the lesser of evils, my vote goes to Hunt.

“Hunt was one of Carona’s boys until he got tipped off that Carona was in trouble.” Not sure how you would know that. If it were true, I would have thought there would be more on it.

“Hunt is tight with Tim Whitacre, a loathsome hypocrite.” What to you mean by “tight”? Did Hunt get some money or did Whitacre set some other donors??? Not sure how Whitacre figures into to an evaluation of Hunt’s ability to be sheriff, but if you say so…

“Hunt idolizes Arpaio – a horrible cop who routinely violates civil rights.” A lot of people support Arpaio and believe that he runs a very effective department. He has been continuously re-elected since 1992. 2008 was his closest election: he won with 55.2% of the vote, considered a landslide victory by many. He was head of DEA’s Arizona branch which may make him not too popular with the anti-war-on-drug folks. Wikipedia said: “He banned inmates from possessing “sexually explicit material” including Playboy magazine after female officers complained that inmates openly masturbated while viewing them, or harassed the officers by comparing their anatomy to the nude photos in the publications. The ban was challenged on First Amendment grounds but upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.” In 2005 Arizona passed a law making it a felony to smuggle illegal aliens across the border. Arpaio enforces that law, just like anyother. He is pretty straight forward and those that don’t like him generally stay out of Maricopa County.

“And Hunt is not going to win. His ballot designation is “P.I.”” Does your crystal ball give winning lottery numbers, too?

If you don’t like him, so be it. I would have thought you could come up with actual reasons NOT to vote for Hunt but all you have given me is more reason to vote for him.
