Isnt it odd that the day theat he said he wont run for President is the day this scumbag blows up four cops.
Can anyone provide a time frame as to when he made the announcment and these police were killed?
Huckabee is technically an R but really a Liberal with misplaced compassion.
Cops lives are worth more. The police are societies ‘machine’ to curb and track down criminals.
As such, their position makes their lives worth more. Not specific policemen, but the role.
For example, the President’s life is guarded with a greater ferocity than us ordinary blokes, and for the same reason.
That was really dumb of Huckabee.
Apologies to Mike...
Always thought that Huckabee was creepy ... now I know why. Doesn’t he look a bit like Kevin Spacey???
“Always thought that Huckabee was creepy...”
Used car salesman and morticians often elicit that reaction.
They are NOT. They are people just like you. They accept the risks with the job.
As such, their position makes their lives worth more.
They are not. A homeowner defending his property has a life worth less than a cop?
I think not.
The police are societies ‘machine’ to curb and track down criminals.
So far as I have seen, they will file a report that is of value only to your insurance company.
They are not gunslingers or heroes.
Not true at all.
Gov Huckabee did not release the man suspected of killing 4 law enforcement officers. He commuted the suspect’s sentence in 2000 from 108 years to 47 years in prison. With a sentence of 47 years, an intervening party - a parole board - could decide whether he should be paroled or not. Huckabee did NOT set him free and did not parole him - but merely made it possible for him to be reviewed by others to make that decision. The now cop killer suspect was reviewed and paroled. He then violated parole. He was returned to prison in 2004. Some time later (I am not yet sure why), he was again paroled.
It doesn’t matter if he is left, or right, or center.
Decisions have consequences.
His decision to release this man cost four innocent people their lives.
Hind sight?
Where was his fore sight?
He has blood on his hands, that is all there is to it, period, end of story.
He looks like Gomer Pyle.
Heeeey, you have something there ... I knew he looked familiar ..... you sure it ain’t Gomer all growed up?
So, you are saying that without Gomer’s intervention, he would still be serving his 108 year sentence.
Thanks for the clarification.
I do wonder of they are not related. The resemblance os just uncanny.
Huckabee is not finished in politics. He does appeal to a sizable demographic in GOP primaries - elderly evangelicals. This demographic will vote for Huckabee soley because he is a Baptist minister. Sort of like Mormon support for Romney. As long as Identity politics are being practiced, Romney and Huckabee shall be contenders in the 2012 primary.
Well, I must admit I never thought he looked creepy but...I think he looked more like Gomer Pyle. Remember that show?
