A County Prosecutor is quoted..."He seems to believe that granting clemency to murderers, rapists, drunk drivers and other convicted criminals is a part of the everyday affairs of the governor's office rather than something that he should approach cautiously and selectively. Executive clemency should be rare, and there should be very specific reasons."
Yet another reason why the Liberal Press just loves this compassionate "conservative."

We’re #1. We’re #1. Oh wait that’s not a good thing. The Huckster never impressed me as guv. I’m still leaning towards Fred in the presidential field.

I’ve got an idea:
How about aiming at the opposition, rather than engaging in such transparent Republican-on-Republican bashing?
What was it, Ronald Reagan said?
Something about an 11th Commandment...

Just another reason we should not vote for this guy.
He is bringing too much of his religious beliefs into his role as governor.
How else do you explain all these granting of clemency?
He believes too much in forgiveness and redemption. Screw that for criminals!

I think he is for second amendment rights, but many liberals are supporting that these days.
I remember this story about the clemencies being a big deal, years ago, and I was just thinking it would resurface after the Willie Horton like story just emerged.

I’d been told by people who live in Arkansas that Huckabee’s clemency rate was high, but I’d never seen the figures. They are not just abnormally and unreasonably high, they are unbelievable.

I guess gains in the polls = paint a bulls eye on your forehead. They will come out of the wood work now. Some truths, some half truths and some outright lies.

Look at the bright side. Freeing up prison space afforded him more $$ to fight the real wars.....against smoking and twinkies in school.

RINOs ARE the opposition. If you don't fight them in the primary season, then you allow them to define - and taint - conservatism for yet another decade.

He also had the highest execution rate. Go figure.

I’m ready for Duncan Hunter to start to make his move...
Any day.
Will he??
To: drpix
The man panders to illegals you would expect him to pander to criminals. Wonder if any money changed hands?

Reagan became Reagan by opposing the Huckabees in the GOP of his day. Remember he took on, criticized and defeated a sitting GOP President.
A "conservative" loved by the Liberal media is the opposition and if Reagan were here he'd lead the attack.

For me at this point, Huckabee is starting to look like the best fall-back position from Duncan Hunter. I’m still hoping. Hoping.
Beginning to wonder though.
In my opinion, a pretty good plan B would be, we start right now drafting Chuck Norris for Vice President.
(no, I am not joking!)
It would take democrats two decades, to recover the White House.
If ever.
