Haley Barbour has betrayed his legacy.....and all of us who admired him for a long time.

He was a good conservative, a good RNC chairman and he did a good job for his state in the Katrina aftermath.

He doesn't care anymore, he says he will never seek elective office again.....and without so much as a fair-thee-well he has skulked over to the dark side.

His pardons for the killers have angered most of his conservative admirers both in his state and across the fruited plain. What a stupid, dangerous, in-your-face move!

Now he's going to use his political afterlife to clean up monetarily as a law firm mouthpiece/rainmaker, a DC lobbyist and a big-bucks speaker on the rubber-chicken circuit.

One by one our idols are revealing their feet of clay. It's sickening.

Haley Barbour has been handing out unusual pardons to violent felons (including murderers) for years. I not sure who has less respect for the rule of law and the safety of innocent people, Barbour or Mike Huckabee. They are both disgraceful and no decent, law-abiding American should even speak to either of these individuals. They are promoters of evil.

“Haley Barbour has betrayed his legacy” What “legacy” Bob Dole and the Clustered*&^ed 1996 Republican “Convention” are his “legacy”! Haley Barbor is a Karl Rove “quality” FIRST CLASS POS!
