Governor says no more Arkansas parolees

i always thought that some law and order repubs hated those liberal parole boards and didn't trust them.
 
what happened to all those repubs who said lock up the criminals and throw away the keys?

In jail for a length of time that cannot be justified based on the crimes he committed.

And a governor of a states responsibility is to the citizens that elected him.

While concern for other Americans in other states is nice, ultimately an elected official is supposed to be responsible to those they represent.
 
Wow, I am amazed at the stupidity.

Mike Huckabee hasn't been governor in 3 years. Mike Beebe, a democrat, is governer. This looks bad on him, not huckabee. Someone tell Gregiore that she missed out.

This whole thread became a pit of stupidity really fast.
 
Since the rise of the federal government's involvement in crime, the typical Republican position has been to advocate a strong law and order response to social and criminal unrest, focusing on repressing it through such policies as bolstering law enforcement and lengthening prison sentences.
 
In fact, it was largely the 1964 presidential campaign battle among Republican Senator Barry Goldwater, Independent candidate George Wallace, and Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson that returned crime to the national spotlight as a policy issue. In reaction to Civil Rights demonstrations and a rising crime rate, both Goldwater and Wallace included a strong law and order plank in their campaigns. Goldwater, in particular, often referred to the "crime in the streets" and the need for "law and order." Both Goldwater and Wallace accused Johnson of fostering a leniency that abetted crime. Holding to conservative tradition, Goldwater and Wallace promised to repress crime with a stricter enforcement of the criminal code.
 
Huckabee signed off on the executions of more murderers than any modern Arkansas governor.

His law and order credentials are very well established.

He approved three executed in one day.
 
2 Law and Order
Meantime, as the debate over Johnson's proposal continued into spring 1968, law and order again rose as a central issue in the presidential election. Richard M. Nixon, seeking the presidency for the Republican Party, employed the issue in his campaign, as did George Wallace, who was running for the presidency as an Independent candidate. Both Nixon and Wallace argued that decisive action needed to be taken against crime -- and that action meant enforcing the criminal laws more forcefully.

perhaps huckabee was trying to soften his image by pardoning someone who he knew nothing about.

Quadruple post? There is an edit button down and to the right of your post.
 
since he got it wrong on clemens, perhaps he got it wrong on the executions too.

Isn't she the one who stole her first election by insisting on a series of recounts until one showed she won and then her and the Democrats insisted that the process was over.

That would be correct. :2razz:
 
Isn't Washington state some sorta illegal alien safe haven? How ironic that one of the most Libbo states in the country doesn't want parolees from Arkingsaw entering the state...:rofl

Liberalism sucks ass!!!
 
Speaking to the Republican National Committee in July 1995, Gingrich called for the death penalty for anyone caught shipping narcotics into the country.
