Huckabee (AR governor-R) wants to free two more killers.
One was an AF sergeant who killed a pregnant woman near the LRAFB in the early seventies. Got 120 years. Commuted sentence could free him soon.
The other killed a pawnshop owner in Springdale in the early seventies. Got life without parole. Commutation would be to TIME SERVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He could be out tomorrow!

WTF! This scumbag kills people when they have been sentenced to death. These killers were sentenced when there was a moratorium on the death penalty and because of that, they should be freed? I don't get it. The family of the pawnshop owner was never even notified of the pending commutation.

Fucking repuke scumbag.

The world should thank Arkansas for helping to get rid of a repuke before he made it to the national stage. There used to be talk of him climbing the political ladder. Can you say Willie Horton?

1. Another reason Arkansas is a toss-up state
Huckabee is getting less popular all the time. Blanche Lincoln is going to have a fairly easy re-election. I've seen three polls that show Bush and Kerry within the margin of error in Arkansas. ACORN also has a drive to register 40,000 people of color to vote. I don't know why Cook listed AR as "Leaning Republican" in his last report. He's behind the times.

3. It is odd isn't it.
5 out of 6 congresspeople are Dems, but it is still something of a repuke stronghold.

I'm still registered to vote in northwest AR. I'm thinking of keeping it there even though I live in central AR so I can vote out Boozman.

2. I haven't heard of any mitigating circumstances
like DNA that proved someone else was the real murderer. That would be the only reason I could think of why someone in prison should be set free. What reasons does Huckabee give for doing this?

BTW, since raising the sales tax and making services charge sales tax, Huckabee's name is a cuss word around my neck of the woods (Northern AR)

4. School consolidation isn't helping
But there is a repuke waiting in the wings to be governor.

Let's get rid of Boozman. Then think about a new governor.

5. Jan Judy for Congress!
This lady is doing a great job telling the truth on Boozman. I really think he's vulnerable this year. And around here, with forced school consolidation, the Repukes aren't held in high esteem.

6. Jan's cool.
I lived in Fayetteville for a long time. I used to see her riding her bike around town. She walks the walk. I will probably keep my registration in NWA even though I live in central AR, just to beat that bum Boozman.

Keep the faith.
