Huckabee allowed a guy to be paroled, the guy did something bad on parole, ergo Huckabee's a loser and soft on crime. It doesn't matter what the LAW said or what the facts of the case are, it fits the meme that "being soft on crime is bad" and "commuting sentences is being soft on crime."<br /><br />Nobody (on the national scene) argues from principle anymore, just from how things fit certain templates.pentamomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803826.post-87793845605240975762009-12-02T08:08:32.120-08:002009-12-02T08:08:32.120-08:00Good point.....bring the rattan to American justic...Good point.....bring the rattan to American justice!
