We can all breathe a sigh of relief and thank Tea Party and conservative activists for making this happen. Corrupt Maricopa County Supervisor Don Stapley has filed to run for Congress in Arizona's new 9th district. He saw the writing on the wall. Although Stapley has successfully escaped prosecution so far by pretending that Sheriff Arpaio and prosecutor Andrew Thomas were wrongfully going after him, everyone knows Stapley is guilty as sin. The Arizona Project 2012 Tea Party made it a priority this year to clean up the Supervisors' office in this year's elections, sending Stapley a loud message that they would be running a candidate against him. Conservative Steve Chucri has launched an aggressive campaign to run for Stapley's supervisor seat.
Arpaio and Thomas tried to prosecute Stapley for misreporting on his financial forms and spending $70,000 in campaign funds on luxury personal items for himself and his family. Stapley was running for president of the National Association of Counties and had no opponent. He went around telling people he needed contributions for that campaign, then turned around and spent the money on expensive things you and I could never afford.
Remember the "libertarians" who ran for state legislature a few years ago and got into deep trouble with Clean Elections for spending the money on lavish dinners? They had to repay it all back. Not if you're Don "the Don" Stapley. He destroys the lives of anyone who tries to prosecute or arrest him instead.
Here is the full list of what he spent the money on.
And here are just a few the things Stapley spent campaign money on that jumped out at us. You decide whether they are campaign related. We couldn't even begin to start counting the restaurants and department stores listed on there, there were too many. We're sure they were all campaign related. And what is up with all the women's clothing?

You tell us, does this man belong in office, ANY elected office? NOT EVEN DOGCATCHER! We find it despicable that he can skate past the laws the rest of us are held accountable to, and spend lavish amounts of money on himself using the political system while the rest of us are losing our homes and our jobs. He is going to lose this election bigtime.
