Come on, it doesn’t really matter. I can’t stand Rooty or Huck.
This article is right on about how the Huck campaign will destroy the party, and the cause of the evangelicals.
>Worse, he seems to see his position of authority as a mechanism to impulsively apply his evangelical agenda. With more than 1,000 pardons issued during his tenure as governor, with beneficiaries including 13 murderers (one of whom went on to kill again), Huckabee acts as though his seat in the state house is license to bestow a Christ-like gift of grace to anyone he chooses.
Bingo. To get a pardon/clemency from Huckabee, just parade your faith in front of him, declare your allegiance to Christ, and he’ll let you walk. He allows his religious beliefs to blind him.
Clue: Christ says to forgive everyone. That’s a PERSONAL requirement. But Christ never did get rid of the legal penalties imposed by the state. You can’t just dole out mercy at the expense of justice.
