I saw this in News of the Weird today (Haley Barbour, Gov, Miss.)`
Edited on Sat Nov-20-10 07:18 PM by panader0
"For months, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour has been indifferent to humanitarian appeals on behalf of sisters Jamie and Gladys Scott, who were convicted in 1993 of luring two men to a robbery (total take, $11; no injuries), but who were each mysteriously sentenced to two consecutive life sentences. (The actual robbers got two years.) Beyond the questionable sentence is Jamie's extremely poor health (double kidney failure). Gov. Barbour's unyeilding position is to direct the appeals to the state's Parole Board. In 2008, bypassing the Parole Board, Gov. Barbour independently pardoned four vicious murderers who were serving life sentences, even though none had particularly claimed unfair conviction. The four had participated in a prison-sponsored odd-jobs program, helping out around the governor's mansion."

4. I hope so
He can't beat Obama. Obama will win in 2012, the opposition has no one close.

6. Romney's always kind of made me nervous, and they were talking about him
a lot. Sure, he's an jerk and has lost before, but with the temperature among so many Teabaggers and closet racists, he looks so American and WHITE.

But nose to nose, toe to toe, I don't think they have anyone who is of Obama's caliber.
