::One last note: the idea that Huckabee is some conservative litmus test is bizarre. He has called for more government intervention, for instance, into private health choices of individuals, including insurance choice. I support most of what Huckabee stands for, including his faith-focused worldview. This encyclopedia, however, '''does not''' censor. [[User:BHarlan|BHarlan]] 23:02, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

I'm hesitant to bring this up, and I'm certainly not going to put it in the article without consensus from senior editors, but I think we need to revisit the issue of whether Huckabee is really conservative when it comes to dealing with criminals. I like a lot of his positions, but when a man is serving a hundred-plus year jail sentence, there's usually a reason for that. Commuting the sentence of someone who has time and time again committed violent crimes is the sort of thing I would expect from the worst kind of bleeding-heart liberal.
Some people are simply a danger to society and need to be removed from it. It's not a nice truth, it's not a pleasant truth, but it's a truth nonetheless. When it's forgotten, the consequences are too often tragic, as they were in this case.
In many ways, Huckabee is a solid conservative, but in this area, I feel he's dropped the ball, and more than once.
Thoughts?
