Between Huck constantly defending letting a murderer go free and Mitt constantly defending a healthcare plan that bankrupted the state.... looks like it’s going to be
S-A-R-A-H !!!
The Huckster can't man up. He's a slimy lying weasel from start to finish. Remember the campaign ad with the big moving cross, that he swore he never noticed? He's a frigging liar, period. Which would be bad enough in a Tricky Dick pol, but in a "man of God" it's absolutely disgusting. He makes Elmer Gantry look honest and sincere by comparison.
Why not 50? or 10? or 18?
Because 47 made him eligible for parole.
Man-up Huck. You knew what you were doing and why.<<<
Great point! It seems like a rather odd “coincidence” that Huckabee commuted his sentence to an odd length, exactly short enough to make Clemmons immediately eligible for parole, and he was released a month later.
Clearly, Huckabee intended that Clemmons be released immediately.
If he had simply sincerely apologized and admitted he was convinced Clemmons was reformed and that 25 years was too long a sentence, I'd forgive him. I would not trust his judgment enough to vote for him, but I wouldn't have such a negative view of him. All the deception and playing games with words and numbers he has employed, in trying to escape responsibility for his tragic mistake, is making me really dislike Huckabee. I can only imagne how hurtful it must be to the families of the murdered officers. I believe a sincere and unconditional apology would have given them some degree of comfort. Huckabee's twisting of the truth must be making them feel worse.
