In 2007, ABC News reported on the role that Huckabee's religious beliefs may have played in his decisions to support early release of so many prisoners: "None of the prosecutors were ever told why Huckabee felt compelled to have a hand in freeing so many prisoners, though all of them speculate that his deeply religious nature led to a strong belief in repentance and forgiveness. In some cases, prosecutors say, evangelical leaders attested that a prisoner had found Jesus and that seemed to influence the governor's thoughts."

  4. #4    First, as much as I criticize and decry the actions of police as a whole in america, I'm shocked and saddenned by this and my thoughts go out to the families and friends of these people. Maybe because I was about two miles away from this tragedy just the day before, and this comes only weeks after a Seattle officer was shot and killed assassination-style (not to mention Ft. Hood), I'm deeply affected by this. Having said that, it's time to play "What if Mike Huckabee were a Democrat?"

    Would FOX be covering this tragedy 24/7 while pondering what a Republican-tough-on-crime Governor would have done? Well, since he has his own show on FOX, maybe he can tell us? He could always blame it on our Governor Gregoire. I certainly hope he feels SOME responsibility for this, even if he never admits it.

    Also, where's the NRA on this one? HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE NEED TO DIE before we get some kind of control on the availibility of guns in our country?
