National Review ^ | Monday, November 30, 2009

Posted on 11/30/2009 10:05:04 AM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

The murder of four police officers in a suburban Seattle coffee shop on Sunday took a decidedly political turn when it was discovered that the prime suspect in the killings was once granted clemency by Mike Huckabee.

If this doesn't put the stake in heart of Huckabee’s political aspirations what will?

Always thought the guy was a RINO so my instincts are still good.

Jindal, Sanford, Gingrich and Huckabee are out. Sarah’s likely primary foes are dropping left and right on the way to 2012. And if no surprise strikes us in the meantime... Romney will be defeated by Conservatives in 2012.

I had heard of his clemency problem before. I suppose it was only a matter of time until something like this took place.

Clemency should be used very rarely. A lot goes into a conviction. A sitting governor cannot expect to understand a case as well as the prosecutors and original jurors.

If we’re going to commute sentences at will, what good is our system of justice. It said over 700 times to Huckabee and company that the justice system got it wrong. Do they really think the courts are that screwed up?

The court system may not be perfect, but I sure don’t know of a better system to replace it.

Huckabee will no doubt claim that this issue is Satan’s plot to divide Christians.

Look I like Palin for a lot of reasons but she does have some pro choice views on abortion, though she is personally pro life. She is not a perfect conservative on every issue and she will disappoint some who expect her to be so. Even accounting for the malicious hyping of her family’s issues in the blogs and media...she HAS family issues that will be a distraction for her.

A lot of otherwise conservative moms I talk to won’t vote for her because of the “child” issue, even when I point out the fact that these mom’s are working late hours to support their own problem laden children. Societal norms and politics are at cross purposes. These moms don’t like Obama but will vote for him over Palin or simply not vote at all if there are no strong male conservative candidates!

This country is trending towards civil war and most folks know it in their guts. The only way out is for a great spiritual re-awakening but this will involve out and out divorcement with our love of lust laden, violence soaked medai driven materialism that even many Christians have fallen into. A return to our first Love, Jesus Christ is what is necessary....with-out that, our nation is doomed!

I'm not a Huckabee fan at all. I wouldn't vote for him unless he was the only one on the ticket against obama...but then, I'd vote for charles manson over obama.

Having said that, I don't think the blame for these cops getting shot should be lain at the feet of something Huckabee did way back when as governor. It is my understanding that the perp was only convicted for robbery, and not any violent crime. Huckabee had no knowledge that he might go nuts later...the perp, not Huckabee.

If that's the case, then why not fry all of the people who passed Major Hassan on through the ranks, they knew he was a little kooky, but they had no idea he was going to go on a rampage.

Admittedly, this will probably damage Huck's political aspirations, but putting the blame for the murders on him is a stretch.

People make mistakes...hell, nearly half the voters in the US put obama in the white house, thus the o.b.a.m.a. acronym:

One Big Ass Mistake America.

I gagreed with most of what you said.

Except how does abandoning the puirty of Conservatisim help Conservatism?

Its better that Obama / Ayers and Soros won than to abandon one’s faith my son.

Romney
Huckabee

You just have to go back to that debate question, “Show of hands, how many of you feel Climate Change is a serious problem , and is caused by man?”

Romney, Huckabee, Rudy, McCain, and one or two others clearly had their hands up, until Fred Thompson jumped in and saved their sorry butts and said we aint playing the show of hands game.

See for yourself. I freeze the frame and see Rudy, Romney, Huckabee, and McCain with hands up.

Show of Hand - do you think Climate Changes is a serious problem, and is it caused by man?
