Shocking, that a man who was the center of attention for so long, who was seen by constituents as being in need of removal from office, is now attempting to regain the seat from which he was removed. You would think he doesn't get it.

It's too late for this coward to prove he is any kind of leader! His actions as a leader have been proven to divide the great citizens! Arizona citizens are much better than this man. For example, when it was time this country was calling men to go to war, Vietnam, he was hiding in the Arizona National Guard! His time served in the Guard was 1965-1972! Those dates speak volumes to Vietnam Veterans and Historians for being the most active and casualty ridden years of that war!
Another example of this man's character is the fact that he claims to be worried about criminal activity coming from Mexico, spreading in Arizona? He should be more concerned about criminal activity spreading from his family to Arizona! I know I am! I need to say this as well, same goes for our Governor! Ms. Brewer's son's crime was brutal and unacceptable! So my question is, isn't "illegal, illegal?" Deport Ronald Brewer and Joshua Trent Pearce ! Can't do that because they are United States citizens? Well so am I, and they don't represent me! Just like the drug cartel doesn't define the Mexican Community!
Don't listen to this man's words, follow his actions! Do not be afraid of this man, call his deeds out! Respect the fact that he is a small man making a last ditch effort to prove he is someone big! Mr. Pearce, you are too late! You had that chance during the Vietnam War. Get back behind us men how fought for this country in all the wars that made us a free society! To the men and women, of all races who served, I will never say anything negative to you, but do not put this coward ahead of any of us. Anytime anyone wishes to see my DD 214, I will put it on public display along with all my official certificates proving exactly who I am but so does anyone that challenges my credentials! If any Military Veterans have any disagreements with my speaking out about this coward (Pearce) I will not trade insults with you publicly, we have been beaten up in the press before, I will not stoop to that level, but I will set down and buy you a cup of coffee! Or better yet, lunch!? Hopefully we can agree to disagree, shake hands and walk away still respecting each other?
Russell Pearce does not own the copyrights to being "white!" Nor does J.T. Reader, his buddy! Anyone with any experience in life, if anything, you should have learned is the fact we are all mortal and we all want to live a peaceful life!
When I was in the infantry in Vietnam, I served with every race this country has to offer, including some great Mexican Warriors! Where were you Mr. Pearce? If you want to prove you are a man, go away and leave the great citizens of Arizona alone, and let them heal from your first go, we need to reunite! The message was sent, it just did not penetrate your thick cranium!
Your words are shallow but your actions speak loud, they divide, which hurts!

Andy Biggs says: "In a Fair fight Pearce would win."
Pearce is as Dirty of Fighter as they come!
Biggs, you don't remember the Ringer Candidate Mrs, Cortez?
Why has there not been an investigation into Pearce's Campaign's Trashing of the U.S. Electoral, and Judicial Process?
Good Ole Boys Club?
Mormons covering Mormons?
Or Just Arizona Crooked Politicians Covering each other?
All People involved in the Electoral Rigging and Manipulating during Pearce's Recall Election should be charged with their Class five Felony!
Russell Pearce then could run for Inmate of the Month.
To: True Justice.

Outside the event, a small group of protestors with a bullhorn called Pearce a “racist.”
But they say he wasn't recalled over SB1070 or other illegal migrant laws he helped pass. Politics is dirty by it's very nature. Pearce is a politician who must use the tools of politics if he wants his agenda to prevail. Most of Arizona backs his agenda. He will prevail, and we will continue the fight for greater freedom, more school choice, lower taxes, limited government and states’ rights. Also we will continue the fight to remove every last criminal illegal alien from our state and nation. I expect to see all the reconquest lackeys and illegal alien supporters posting much garbage here condemning Pearce for everything but what they hate him for, SB1070. Rage on if you must. We understand you. You are our enemy.

If he runs again, will he promise not to plant a sham candidate to divert votes away from his opponent?
like he did in the recall election?
I hope he makes that promise before running.
OldMan posted at 8:12 am on Tue, Mar 20, 2012.
Will he do anything about elected officials influenced by "gifts". Remember those football trips?
Members of both parties were involved. (so don't use some lame label like "liberal")

“Things are this bad because we’ve allowed them to get this bad,” Pearce said. “Let’s take it back. Let’s not apologize anymore.”
Take what back, Russell? You ran the place. It's "this bad" because YOU made it this bad. "We" didn't take it anymore. YOU were recalled. YOU are the problem.
YOU will lose again.

A most delicious irony: Pearce's future may hinge on the "activist judges" he loves to rip.
In June, the Supreme Court's decision on SB 1070 will come down. If they uphold the law, Pearce can have bragging rights, which might propel him into office.
Overturn it, and Pearce might be sunk. Which means? Pearce's new best friend might be Justice Anthony Kennedy, typically the swing vote on the Court's close decisions.
My bet? The vote won't be 5-4 because at least one of the conservative justices will vote for overturning the law, too, and 1070 will get the heave. Adios, Russell. Take his double-dip retirement from the state (from law enforcement and legislative retirement funds) and stroll off to your sunset of right wing radio . . .

daveofthedesert calls Pearce a fat Nazi and the Tribe allows that? New low for the Trib. The vast majority of Pearce's following live in very nice homes in very nice neighborhoods, so your denunciation of the so called uneducated trailer trash is very humorous indeed. I think you must certainly be talking about those who call enforcement of the rule of law an unnecessary intrusion upon the La Reconquest forces invading our country.

Hiding? Don't you know that thousands of National Guardsmen were called up and sent to fight in the Vietnam War? Pearce was simply fortunate that his National Guard unit wasn't one of those that was sent to Vietnam.

Is an individual that doggedly pursues enforcement of a law, given some leniency in the "bending" of other laws?

@bartlebee:
On May 4, l970 members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of Kent State University demonstrators, killing four and wounding nine Kent State students. The impact of the shootings was dramatic. The event triggered a nationwide student strike that forced hundreds of colleges and universities to close.
The National Guard of "back in the day" were oh so brave! Does your boy Pearce get credit for those kills as well?

Russell is a coward.
And a bigot.
He heeds to drop a hundred pounds, too.
Get some humility.
Go on a diet.
Learn some respect for other people.
Will Olivia Cortez be a part of the Pearce machine this time around??
Remember Cortez, all you people who want this HONEST MAN OF THE PEOPLE to be your leader this time.
Russell is a pimple on the face of DIRTY politics.

Suggestion Box: Solving the undocumented immigrants, sorry, "Drug Cartel" that cross the Mexican Border to enter the "Holy Land!"
The radar speed cameras Jan Brewer had pulled, set the up at the Mexican Border. Any Mexican clocked running over three miles per hour will set off a flash! J.T. Ready can hire a Helicopter Service so he and his fellows/felletes neoNazis can hang out the side and shoot undocumented immigrants, oops, I mean "Drug Cartel" (Wink) like Sarah Palin shooting undocumented Elk, oops, I mean "Drug Cartel" (Wink) in Alaska! When Ready and Spanky and the rest of His Gang sees a flash, "fire in the hole!"
All J.T. needs is two authorizations: 1. A signed note from his mommy! 2. A thumbs up from his buddy Russell Peace!
Warning Label! Strobelights are often used in nightclubs and raves, and are available for home use for special effects or entertainment.
So please J.T. be sure to tell your slow witted, social misfits, they are on a mission, not at a rave!
If that fails! Try this?
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot onboard. Its flight is either controlled autonomously by computers in the vehicle, or under the remote control of a navigator, or pilot (in military UAVs called a Combat Systems Officer on UCAVs) on the ground or in another vehicle.
There are a wide variety of drone shapes, sizes, configurations, and characteristics. Historically, UAVs were simple remotely piloted aircrafts, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed.
Their largest use is within military applications. UAVs are also used in a small but growing number of civil applications, such as firefighting or nonmilitary security work, such as surveillance of pipelines. UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty, or dangerous" for manned aircraft.
Last desperate attempt!
Build a compound of extremely large homes with mega rooms. Strategically place Sheriff Babeu in the desert near the most active infiltration area of the Mexican Border. Any Mexican Male he captures he can keep as his own in the Villa built special for him! This will cut the deportation expenses in half!
Immoral? Yeah maybe? But very effective!

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
I turn the switch and check the number
I leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say?
I'm on a Mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio
I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the U.S. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende, it's a riddle
I'm on a Mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
I'm on a Mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
I wish I was in Tijuana
Eating barbequed iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in from south of the border
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say?
I'm on a Mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
I'm on a Mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
Radio radio... Radio radio... Radio radio...
I'm on a Mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
I'm on a Mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
Radio radio... What does he say ?
