Miss. Gov. Haley Barbour is a rapist

Reading this makes me wonder what wife or girlfriend the governor wants to kill - since he seems so sympathetic to woman-killers.

MyDiatribe: "FBI Statistics show this type of killers are least likely to re-offend.
I honestly do not believe this man will likely ever be s threat to his community.
HOORAY for this governor for demonstrating that even Republicans can show compassion."

It''s not about him being a threat or re-offending. It''s about justice. She was blindsided, her life taken away forever, no second chances - AND she did NOT get a choice in that.

He had a choice. He knew the consequences, ignored them and took someone''s life. He deserves to rot in Hell forever. Frankly, he needs to stay in a cell forever, with no chance of parole.

sandycat2: Hate to rain on your parade..Being a Democrat myself, I can''''t say I support capital punishment, however blaming ''''short sentences'''' on politics is, for lack of a better word, stupid. It''''s called ''''shifting boundaries''''..When judges get jaded, they tend to view the crime as less shocking, regardless of how sick and vile it may have been, and thus give a lighter sentence.

However that particular judge should be removed from the bench. Allowing himself to be jaded and allowing public opinion to influence his decisions shows that he is lacking in conviction. Something a judge can little afford to lose.

What Judge? Did you mean GOVERNOR? Because it was a governor who suspended the sentence, not a judge--unless the governor is a judge. Is he? Is it in the above article? Or do your "shifting sands and stupidity have room for YOU on the roster?

The governor is being blackmailed by the con and has to release him or have some dirt about himself exposed. For his own protection, he has not pardoned the con--but keeps him on the hook by only suspending a sentence which could be lifted and reimposed at any time (like if the con tells on him in the future).

Something stinks in the state of Mississippi and it''s source is the governor''s mansion. If that guy kills again the gov ought to be brought up on murder charges. I think it''s time to drug test the gov and see what he''s on that he makes STUPID DECISIONS like this. The republicans keep making me glad I''m a democrat.

If Graham stays away from the skirts so that his obsessions don''t start to overule reason, he won''t have any problems not unless some vigilante nutter decdes to overule the Mississippi Governor

I hope that when this scummbag decides to murder again, that he remembers the governors address.

Let him find his wife''s or child''s corpse on the bathroom floor, and then we''ll question him on his decision again to release murderers for no apparent reason.

Leave it to a republican.

They let (helped) bin Laden get away, they (the heavily right leaning supreme court) ruled executions for child rapists are unconstitutional, they ruled that a girl kidnapped by her church CANNOT sue the church because it violates THEIR right to freedom of religion, and now they pardon grizzled murderers.


How can ANYONE say that the GOP DOES NOT hate America?

The Governor has the power to commute any sentance he chooses. If you don''''t like it, change the Mississippi constitution, or get yourself elected Governor.

Hmmm...

This only proves what I have believed for a very long time; mainly that Haley Barbour is All Hat And No Cattle."

He is the typical Good Ol'' Boy, who is nothing more than an embarrassment to the Republican Party, (I am a Republican); and, this is not his first sign of impaired reasoning.

There are certain folks out there who will view this as a perversion of justice; and, they just might take matters into their own hands.

More than likely, Michael David Graham will have to keep looking over his shoulder everywhere he goes, and that would be for the rest of his life.

I doubt he was released because he''s ''reformed''!

The reason he was let go is probably much more sinister than that.

He''s probably going to be used to get rid of political enemies of Barbour or something like that!

This ISN''T really surprising, though! Barbour allowed supplies meant for Katrina victims to be re-routed to state offices and agencies! Grab the wealth! Let the people rot!

Mississippians, you deserve what you get for electing a piece of shiit like Barbour! Maybe some day you''ll learn and elect somebody who''s not a crook!

The govenor is a sorry piece of schit!!!! That he allowed that monster into his "HOME" shows he''s an idiot or worse. Life in prison should mean Life in prioson until the M F''er dies!!!! People of Mississippi stand up and do something. Rally against your stupid azz govenor. Bombard his office with letters or something to let him know what a sorry azz person he is. At least the dumbazz will be out of office soon. Personally, I think he should be thrown out of office. Hasn''t he granted releases for three murders? Don''t stay silent Mississippi!!! Join your voices together for the beautiful young woman whose life this monster took!!!!

This is an example of why the death penalty is needed and should be used. Death is the only assurance that a governor, parole board, or judge won''t free a murderer who has been given a life sentence. Where is the truth in sentencing when someone sentenced to life in prison is freed?
