(CNN) - With his much sought-after endorsement, Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio told CNN he's still considering who he'll back for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.

But the Maricopa County sheriff, known for his strict stance on illegal immigration, is set to hold his second meeting with Georgia businessman Herman Cain on Monday.

When asked why candidates are wanting his support, Arpaio credited his experience in border security.

"Well, it's not because I'm tall, dark, and handsome–which I'm not," Arpaio said on CNN's "American Morning." "But I have been around 20 years, and many years as head of the Federal Drug Enforcement in Mexico, Texas, Arizona. So I think I know where the border is. That may be one reason.

1. Secretary of Homeland Security Joe Arpaio

2. The guy is under investigation by the DOJ

He's looking for a free pass.

4. They are doing a very thorough investigation

They are making sure that there will be no doubt this investigation is not politically motivated. When they are done with their investigation, Arpaio's goose is cooked. He will be in the federal pen for many years.

3. We are a nation at war. We have troops in the field.

Any American who does not support the president is betraying this country.

You DO NOT change presidents in a war!

5. Coming next:... Arpaio calls for Drone Stike on American Citizens.

George Bush unlocked the door and Mr. Obama opened it...killing Americans who do not agree with the Bankers.

Al Queida means "The List"... a term coined by the CIA.

Americans have to be very careful... that they DO NOT end up on the Al Queida list.. and targeted for drone attack. Kind of like ending up on the "No-Fly" list by the TSA.... only worse.
