Thomas Watch: How about a little prosecutorial misconduct?

The Arizona Republic has this article about the ongoing tempest in a teapot between Terry Goddard, Andy "the douche" Thomas and Joe "dime-bag" Arpaio. I find myself increasingly speechless when confronted with actions of the modern Republican Party.

Since when did intragovernmental transfers become bribery? This charge is ridiculous on its face. It is funny how Republicans of the Bush variety care so little for insuring the safety of citizens and punishment of criminals (rather than the prosecution of political opponents). If Andy Thomas would stick to aggressive prosecution of criminals and quit being such a douche, he would probably have a good shot at Attorney General or even Governor (as frightening as that may seem).

Why is it that the modern Republican Party has lost all sense duty to our country, our society and our way of life? Prosecutors and law enforcement should strive to be above reproach. If you want to be a political hack, run for the legislature, run for Congress, but stay away Sheriff and County Attorney (that goes for both parties), please...
