You hit it right on the nose: the Jimmy Carter Syndrome. It’s a Syndrome that has cost millions of lives nationwide. And if bleeding heart, social gospel preacher Huckabee slithers his way into the White House, millions more will die from is perverse “Christian compassion.”He’s either a liar, an idiot — or both.

While stupid, it probably made him feel morally superior to the rest of us. Otherwise known as the Jimmy Carter syndrome.

I think you have stumbled onto something there. If Gov. Huckabee started out with the assumption that the juries in his state were populated with nothing but mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging racist retards, one would expect him to act exactly as he has acted.

Now it is up to Gov. Huckabee to provide a plausible alternative motivation for his actions.

Looks like he has 703 Willie Hortons.

The Baptist Minister has a need to forgive,
but a Governor has a duty to protect.

Seems he never gave up the Ministers job.

Gov. Huckabee probably never read the confession of a demented killer named Glen Green before he made the monster eligible for parole.

Where is Glen Green now and why wasn't he prosecuted under the UCMJ?

Huck cannot provide a plausible alternative motivation for his actions on paroling an enormous number of violent criminals...just say no way.

Exactly and I've already suffered through four years of a Carter 'misery indexed' presidency and don't need to do it again.

exactly, when he was asked as he was doing the clemencies, he said he couldnt legally discuss the reasons he was letting a killer out.

Do you remember the Don Jeffers case?

"(Prosecutor)Herzfeld successfully sued to keep a murderer named Don Jeffers behind bars (at least for a while longer) after Huckabee granted him clemency without explanation as required by law: "On granting an application (for executive clemency), the Governor shall include in his written order the reasons thereforeŠ."

Attorney General Mike Beebe, in nullifying the pardon, agreed that the governor had erred when he didn't give reasons why he had pardoned Jeffers and didn't even contact the prosecutor or the victim's family about how he felt about the pardon.

"It was a tremendous victory," says the 30-year-old prosecutor. "This was not only the first time a prosecutor had filed a lawsuit against a governor but had actually won." Jeffers had strangled a Bryant man during a home burglary in 1980 and is serving a life sentence without parole for murder and 25 years for armed robbery after he plea bargained to avoid the death penalty."

I try not to badmouth anyone on our side.

It’s just hard when several of them, for various reasons (Rudy, Paul, Huck) don’t appear to BE on our side...

I wonder if anyone can find these reasons....it got so bad we just ignored the clemencies we knew he wasnt going change.....Jeffers must have been after another one I was digusted with and quit giving a crap. I dont remember the guys name, he had killed a preacher the family of the preacher did not want to seek the death penalty if the state promised he would do life in prison. 20 years later he is a trustee working in Huck’s triplewide and Huck grants him clemency. Huck said he would not and could not discuss the reasons. The preachers family was pissed they didnt get to talk to the governor about the clemency.

Was that Willie Way Jr? There was another trustee pardoned too who was later banned from the mansion for illegal activity there. I just can’t remember his name right now.

Who’s we? The Clinton goon squad? That’s who’s doing the reporting here.

>> JUST LISTEN.. <<

Yes, Shift, I’m so sorry, I forgot about your weak chest. I’ll go fetch the lion skin for you.

(I’m not missing your sarcasm, just playing along with it.)

Rudy’s a self-professed ideological clone of Clinton. Paul isn’t even actually a Republican. Huckabee... well he’s hated by the Clinton goon squad. God knows that means he can’t be a Republican. (/sarcasm)
