that could be where we part ways, I don't think either party has certain standards anymore. the Republican party didn't get nothing done in congress during the 8 years control they had because they were in fighting. Same with the Democrats right now. JFK was the more conservative than most Republicans have ever been. The parties swapped sides somewhere along the way and now it's gotten to where you could create 4 or 5 different parties out of what's there.

On the Huck subject , what detailed answers would like to know.?

The two big ones that come to mind are
1. why the pardon, did it let a guy out of jail who then killed? what were his reasons?

2. why back a plan to educate illegal aliens?

1. Gonna say this one more time, He did not pardon anyone. Arkansas state law does not allow it. Bill Clinton and Jim Guy Tucker recomended his pardon to an all Democratic Parole board appointed by Bill Clinton. Can a governor write a letter stating his opinion on the matter ? Yes. Did he ? Yes. So when in history has an all Democratic Parole Board ever been influenced by a Republican Governor? The Board made the finale call. Period. The same democratic board is the one releasing all the statements about it.

2.The plan he backed singled out the parents of children born here. I don't like illegal immigrants either but I kinda saw the point behind this one. It was drawn up after the feds come down here to a Tyson plant and haul off a bunch of illegals leaving behind 15 to 20 children under the age of 12 who were born in America thus they were, by law, citizens. What was worse was the feds never coordinated the sting with the state so these children were left there without immediate care until state officials could figure out where they were and if there parents had been taken. Needless to say this leaves us the tax payers with a huge burden since the children are citizens they have the right to be cared for by our government.
That set the stage for the plan Huckabee wanted to see passed. He wanted to educate the parents as an option to orphaning the children. It was not a blanket plan that covered all aliens.

As I said I too have a problem with illegal aliens, however I have a bigger problem with a government who goes after hard working aliens because its an "easy catch" while not even turning over law breaking aliens they catch on the street to ICE.

Answer 2 gets closer to an exceptable answer.


Answer 1 leaves a bit to be desired. he wrote a letter asking for the release of a prisoner who killed upon release.

that is a problem for me.

why? Take a look at what you said. He killed after being released. He had not killed before, so how could anyone know he would. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Personally I don't agree either, but then again I often catch myself asking why one sits on death row for years, why not go ahead and kill them? Well now that several have been found innocent through dna after sitting on death row for years I thank God I am not a law maker.
People were wrong when they covicted the innocent, he was wrong supporting Dumonds release. You ever been wrong?

Either way it was a bad decision, but there is no way he could have known, nor could any of us for that matter. Fact is he was due to get out 2 years later anyway. Would he still have killed then?

To me it is an honest mistake, which makes it a non-issue to me. "Learning" mistakes fall under that same catagory to me. I had no problem with Clinton inhaling at some point in time in his life. But he knew well what he was doing with the cigar and lying under oath.

While the release was an unfortunate event, it is not a "defining" charactoristic.
