“it’s odd that this only happens with republican candidates,
not democrap candidates.”

Are you too young to remember Michael Dukakis and Willie Horton?

[ken21]

ooops.

no.

but, series, i want some recent donkey do-do.

thanks.

[Dante3]

Yes, considerably worse that the Willie Horton incident.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Yeah, how could we ever go on without the IRS! (/sarc)

[altura]

So, this is from ABC news....

Has the MSM decided to turn against Huckabee now that he’s inching forward.

I hope so,he’s a disaster as a candidate.

[Dante3]

He would split the GOP.

[Orange1998]

No way will he get nominated now. This is beyond bad press.

[org.whodat]

Who would want to put a boot heel in the face of a rapist. Do you feel good huck?

[SkyDancer]

Didn’t he just say to close down Gitmo because it creates a bad image of the USA?

Hey FReeper FRiends-

A lot of us are ready to pounce on this case as a way of trasing the huckster Huckabee. But I advise careful review of the entire history of the Wayne DuMond case - it is one that has been extensively discussed on FR in the past.

To summarize, a clinton relative accused DuMond of rape - and the DNA evidence apparently didn't match. Clinton, while Arkansas Governor, refused to pardon him. However, setting aside the potential false rape accusation in this case, DuMond also had a well established violent past.

I read this as a situation were a bad man was falsely accused of one particular crime. Do you try to right things w.r.t. the false crime? Or do you protect the public based on the perp's bad history? I think legally and morally you have to do the former, not the latter.

If you want to read the history of this guy on FR, check out this google search of Wayne Dumond on Free Republic.

[Dante3]

Yes, he did.

[Ingtar]

Governor Huckabee’s problem is that 99% of the country won’t do that sort of search. They will hear that he released a man, by name, and that man killed. It will not be easy to get past this, unless his followers are “mind numbed robots.”

Here is an interesting interview/story about Dumond:

[yldstrk]

Well..so Huckabee should have kept th rapist on the payroll?

[Travis McGee]

The Huckster stinks worse and worse, the closer you get to him.

[RGSpincich]

Doesn’t matter if there were legitimate questions regarding Dumond’s guilt in the first crime. It’s political now and all reason goes out the window.

[Will88]

Remember Willie Horton!

I keep hearing the sound of knives being sharpened in all directions, coming from various campaign headquarters.

When you also factor in his nutty belief that the IRS can be done away with in favor of a 23% national sales tax on ALL goods and services

How much research have you done on the fairtax?? The only people I personally know, that think it is not a good idea are the ones that listen to what others have to say about it instead of doing their own reading... All it takes to get on board it read the book, pretty much common sense takes over from there

It is not his "nutty belief..." He is supporting a well researched plan to reform our tax system developed by the private sector... it actually takes the power away from the government, which is the main reason I don't ever see it making it into law. I believe it would make the US the Worlds economic leader again and bring back all the business that left the country to avoid our current tax system. It would also make foreign companies open shop here if they wanted to remain competitive in the US market. In the long haul it would fix the social security and medicare problems too if we can get a handle on government spending so Congress does not spend all the extra money rolling in.

All it would take to start a real tax revolt would be to end withholdings for federal taxes, social security and medicare and make everybody send the IRS a check for your total taxes due on April 15th... Do you look forward to April 15th?? Under the fairtax it would be just another spring day and I can guarantee you that Bill Gates would not be paying less in taxes than his secretary any more!

In case you want to do a little reading and your own here is a link for you

I think his support of the fairtax is the reason for his exploding poll numbers. This story will make me research the whole story a little deeper before casting my vote for him, but until hearing about this he had my vote in the primary... none of our candidates are all that I would like them to be and he supports the Fairtax when nobody else does, That said, I will support whoever gets the nomination though. I dont like his position on immigration, but I did not agree with Bush on his stance there either. Our state (Arizona) has taken the lead since the feds have not and as of Jan. 1 the employers will be harshly punished... many illegals have already went back home (or to some other liberal safe haven) All I know is that they are leaving on their own.

[Perchant]

Although Huckabee would be my worst nightmare as President, the taint of Clinton is all over this Dumond thing from start to finish. I wouldn’t take any aspect of this thing for granted.

[Joya]

Huckabee wanted rapist set free; rapist then raped and murdered another woman; BUMP TO THE TOP!
