This ad was produced before that happened.
The thing about Willie Horton was that it was accurate.
Romney is such a wuss.
That was a very legitimate attack to use against Huckabee. It should be used by Walker or Cruz if that fat sack of French fry grease runs again, as seems likely.
Romney has ZERO killer instinct.
If he’s ahead in a race, he’d probably spend the final days of the campaign helping his opponent.
If you think the voters' revulsion was propelled by his race, you've been listening to the media narrative on this for too long. I didn't know Willie's race for years. That wasn't the issue.
The issue was: why is a guy serving life without parole allowed out for the weekend?
I think it was five police officers, four men and one woman who were eating a meal at a restaurant in Lakewood, Washington.
Huckabee either pardoned or parolled a black guy in Arkansas who then ended up in Washington State.
As “nice a guy” as Romney is in the opinion of most pundits, he was quite the vicious bastard when it came to attacking his Rep opponents and downright pansylike attacking BHO. Not that I like Huck. Or Romney. Or Bush. Or Christie.
I shall not forget that.
Well done. I guess Huckabee released so many crooks from jail that they were able to find a white one to make an example of...that works. The BIGGER KILLING was in Tacoma, Washington, where one of his released buddies killed 4 cops in COLD BLOOD...I suspect that guy was black, so Romney didn’t want the Horton comparisons.
The bottom line is that Huckabee RELEASED these people despite the BEGGING AND PLEADING of law enforcement people that knew full-well that they would go back to killing and raping - yet NOTHING could stop Huckabee, so he kept releasing and releasing. Don’t be surprised if liberals and the ACLU start pushing Huckabee on us...he seems to be a dream-come-true for them.
The Dims readily use such ads—"Works for Them"!

I hope you are comfortable in railing about the same things the liberals do.
“None of the prosecutors were ever told why Huckabee felt compelled to have a hand in freeing so many prisoners, though all of them speculate that his deeply religious nature led to a strong belief in repentance and forgiveness. In some cases, prosecutors say, evangelical leaders attested that a prisoner had found Jesus and that seemed to influence the governor’s thoughts.”
