    There is a question that has yet to be answered and that is why there was a closed door meeting in 1996 with Mike Huckabee and the Parole Board? Secondly if before that time Dumond was denied parole what convinced this parole board to change its mind after the closed door meeting?

    Sure. But I am not aware of Mike Huckabee sinning against me in any way.

    ==Well, then we can't make any firm conclusions. All we are left with is he said, she said which is not trustworthy because we don't know which side is right. :tonofbricks:

    Huckabee should have never held a closed door meeting with the parole board it certainly cast suspicion on Huckabee and his motives. Mike Huckabee should have remembered what it states in 1 Thessalonians 5:22 “Abstain from all appearance of evil” . It was just plain wrong to have had a closed door meeting.

    Now you're focusing at different thing just to make Mike appear bad. Enough for your hatred of Huckabee.

    Nope, it was either parole or the Huckster was going to proceed with clemency. The decicsion was forced upon the parole board to make the decision of parole as being a better option than clemency. Huckabee can play the blame game all he wants and reside in the gutter with all the other wanna be candidates.

    BINGO!

    Then you shouyld have nothing to say about this. It is a personal issue between Huck and our Lord and the forgiveness lies in the people personally invovled. It has no political value one way or the other.

    To continue to bring it up is the sin of gossip. Repent and let it go brother.

    Huck did not sin against you, you have so said. Why do you gossip against him and wish to see him slandered on he said/she said (gossip) and you are repeating the gossip?

    God Bless! :thumbs:

    This action was taken as my governor - as a servant of the people of the state of Arkansas. It certainly was not a private action.

    What one does as a public official should have a huge bearing upon one's qualifications to attain even higher office. And even private actions obviously speak as to one's qualifications to attain elected office.

    Then Huck did sin against you as well as the entire state?

    Which card do you wish to hold?

    We are discussing public policy as implemented by a public servant in elected office.

    I have not described any action that Huckabee did as governor as sin.

    Yes, we can. Wayne Dumond was released from prison and killed two people. Dumond did not just get up and walk out of prison on his own.

    Huckabee did no real study on the guilt or innocense of Dumond instead he took the word of a well known religous kook by the name of Jay Cole despite Dumond's previous records before the rape in DeWitt Arkansas .Huckabee also could have acquired the court transcripts of the trial but why bother with facts over the word of a kook.

    We are? I thought we were discussing the Wayne Dumond case.

    What policy would that be which Huck implemented? I would like to read it for myself.

    Doing wrong is not sin??

    Letting criminals out of a taxpayer-funded prison is public policy.

    All mistakes are not sins.

    I think, given the information it looks like Huckabee had, I'd have released Dumond also. Knowing a bit of the character of Mr. Huckabee, I'd easily give him the benefit of the doubt. In fact it would be very wrong to assume willful wrong doing on Huckabee's part. In retrospect, it looked wrong, but that's a part of political decision making.

    Interesting that there seems no condemnation over the seeming rampant corruption of the Democrats, in the south.

    That is chilling, and if true, a thorough investigation and prosecution should be started.

    I don't think the problem is as much in what Huckabee did, but what he said he did, which may not be accurate. I'm sure this will be looked at with a fine-tooth comb, so we will find out soon enough if it's accurate or not.
