Two words: Willie Horton. Talk about naively releasing evil people who go on to commit heinous crimes and rather than feeling shame, the dems will say "racist!" and the press will turn the story into "GOP fights to keep minorities in prison".
I say have the fight because most people will see through it, they don't want violent prisoners released, but the GOP is the "scared stupid" party, they are so scared of bad press that they do stupid things.
“Two words: Willie Horton.”
Yep...unfortunately the brains behind that operation died (Lee Atwater) died years ago. Huckabee is the latest re-incarnation of Dukakis, with one of his (personally-signed) early release types running off to Seattle and killing 4 cops in cold blood while they were eating lunch (or something).
But overall...it’s not even close as to which party seems to want more felons on the street.
So, maybe a nice database of these little angels, with a little history of what they did, who released them early, and what happened next.
