Comments on: Paroled Rapist Could Haunt Huckabee

GOP Candidate's Record As Arkansas Governor Marred By Controversial Parole Of Wayne DuMond

[macusweil]

Could this Huckabee''s Willy Horton?

If you look closely at his record as governor one will find this is not just a single mistake in poor judgment. There are numerous ethics questions

His fiscal stewardship is a disaster raising taxes more than 20 times including a ''bed tax'' on nursing homes and gasoline. He frequently says he cut taxes "almost 94 times" but leaves out the 21 taxes raised during his tenure. In the end, he presided over a net tax increase. Huckabee said that he balanced the state budget %u201Cevery single year of my 10.5 years as governor,%u201D a boast that he has repeated on the campaign trail. What Huckabee forgot to mention is that the Arkansas Constitution has a balanced budget requirement.

Huckabee is a radical cleric who does not believe in evolution, meaning we become a backward nation on the wrong side of science should he ever be elected president.

I''m voting for Dr. Ron Paul in the Feb 5th NY GOP primary. He''s a ten term Congressman with a sound fiscal record and a pledge to bring our troops home and safe when elected.

There is not a person going for president that does not have something in the closet that they don''t want out but the thing is if it as bad as they say it is I do not want him running the Country. But in a way it couldn''t be any worse than Bush he stole from a savings and loan in Texas that made it go under so all of them are either thieves or killers. Look at what Bush has done to our innocent men and women.

"Why don''t you refer to him as Reverend Huckabee? Once a minister, always a minister. Why hasn''t he been asked about his concept of the separation of church and state? He is just "W" with a face-lift and more B.S."

I didn''t realize he was a minister. But I think I like him even more now. I am, however, confused as to how this makes him "W with a facelife". Was W a minister as well? Please explain.

...or, not. In other words, this is a story only because Huckabee is gaining ground, so the liberal news networks need to find something to attack him with. Seriously, Huckabee did not parole this guy. A judge did. And nobody can control what their appointees will do. The whole story is stupid, and is just a lame attempt at the leftist media to bash a qualified candidate.

Except Romney who didn''t pardon or parole a single person. A governor should not be in the business of pardoning or paroling people that jurors convicted. That is anti-democratic. So is giving special priveleges to illegal, non-tax paying immigrants.

Who cares I am not voting for this clown anyway so I could care less about what he did with parole/pardons.

[cyberus-2009]

I''m not a Huckabee fan but to be fair about it every politician involved in the parole/pardon process makes mistakes.
