Romney Hits Huck On Pardons
Mitt Romney has a new 30-second "contrast" ad up in Iowa. The spot is by anyone's account more of a hit ad, though, raising the issue of Mike Huckabee's pardons and commutations as governor of Arkansas.
Script For "Choice: Judgment" (TV:30):
GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY: "I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this message."
ANNOUNCER:
"Two pro-life Governors. Both support a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage. The difference? Romney got tough on drugs like meth. He never pardoned a single criminal. And Mike Huckabee? He granted 1,033 pardons and commutations, including 12 convicted murderers. Huckabee granted more clemencies than the previous three governors combined. Even reduced penalties for manufacturing methamphetamine. On crime. The difference is judgment."

Ouch. I hope other Christians will get a clue about this guy. I've had the occasion of being seeing Mitt in person. And I've got to tell you - the accusations against his sincerity are unfounded! This guy is genuine, and wants to serve this country by applying great ideas to a country falling apart.
I can't believe the Republican Party would nominate Huckabee. He would split the party apart. I would vote for Clinton before Huckabee.
Ugghh. Just saw the picture of Huckabee's family on Drudge Report. What a bunch of obese, disgusting slobs. Can you imagine those hillbillies being the first family? Gag me. They look like something out of a Far Side comic. If that redneck Huckabee gets the nomination just because he claims he's been endorsed by God the Republican party is done for. I hope we aren't that stupid.
