Nor does it negate this statistic:
I was not a Huckabee fan, but anyone who stands up to prosecutors is a hero. There's no political upside. Romney let Gerald Amirault rot in jail when he knew perfectly well he was innocent, because he cared more about looking tough than justice.
In this case, Huckabee did the only thing he could do. All the other cases, I don't know. But this country is turning into a big prison farm thanks to out of control prosecutors (both parties) and demagogue politicians with their mandatory minimums. If this costs him politically, it's a shame.
No forgiveness. No clemency. Go back into the dank black slammer of your Huckabee-lovin’ ignorance and rot.
Prove Romney’s fingers are all over this or shut the hell up.
Freaken' Unbelievable!!!
Yeah, it's a real shame that those four dead cops are going to cost Huckabee politically. I bet those four widows are really bummed out that Huckabee might not get to be president after all.
Did you really post that? That rates right up there with some of the dumbest posts on FR!
Oh, I don't know. In this case 47 years means 11 years served , and so on. Hardly anybody stays in for too long, unless its murder 1 or a string of felonies. This guy had a string of felonies..
What indicts Huckleberry is all the other pardons; 1100 in all, while Missouri next door had 47. The ole coot couldnt even give a rationale for the vast majority of them.
For now, Romney wins this one on the merits, IMO. But he is despicable, i will agree with you on that.
