've been supporting Huckabee from the beginning because he is a 100% straight, no nonsence, tell it like it is kind of guy.
So you LIKE the fact that he pardoned all those rapists and murderers against the solid wishes of the people who voted him in office in his state? Do you view that as part of his "100% straight, no nonsense" quality?

I don’t know the details of the cases but I do know that the case that started all of this would not have happened if Bill Clinton and Jim Guy Tucker had not commuted the sentences. It’s the Parole Board who granted the release of these people, not Huckabee.

Besides, this is a race for the Presidency, not for the office of Governor of a state.

But anyway, you din’t answer my question. I wasn’t asking how you felt about all those releases, I was asking how you felt about Huckabee’s CHARACTER in issuing them against the wishes of the people who elected him.

The fact is, most people in Arkansas, let alone most CONSERVATIVE VOTERS in Arkansas, would definitely not support the HUNDREDS of parole releases Huckabee pushed for.

Forgetting for a moment about the difference between the job of President and the job of Governor, what does it say about Huckabee the MAN, who would stab his supporters in the back by so going against what he would have to KNOW to be their wishes on this issue.

If he’s willing to betray his supporters as Governor, why do you think that makes him “100% straight-shooter” and why do you think he would hesitate to betray you when he’s President?
