George Will, my favorite conservative, had an editorial this w/e about lifelong confinement of those who committed crimes as kids
Every kid who commits a crime deserves justice in a fair and balanced way. I just don’t see how a DA should serve as judge and jury for anyone, let alone the youngest members of our society.
I better watch it…I’m sounding like onebigdemocrat
There are still plenty in the pachyderm party who would rather shoot first and often.
There might be hope yet for this old country if a big red like you shows a bit of conscience. Who knows where this going to lead. Maybe a prominent Republican will call for troop reductions abroad.
neither of Hick’s opponents in the last election would have done it and it is the right thing, a return to a sensible balance.
This is why, while we Dems may carp and moan over some of our more DINO type candidates, all things considered, we are always better off with them than with Rs, and certainly never worse off.
Even in cases, such as with Manchin of W. Virginia, we have a tiny (as in teensy weensy) plus in the form of a contributor to the Dem majority even though he generally votes against it on everything Dems care most about, whereas an R who votes pretty much just like Manchin on all those issues wouldn’t even supply a ghost of a plus, not even the supposedly moderate ones who always fall in GOP party line when the chips are really down and that has always included the likes of Snowe and Collins. Any Snowe votes from the moment she decided not to run again not withstanding.
Whatever Hick’s motives, and I tend to think it’s a mistake to dismiss the possibility of any honorable ones, let this be a lesson to all Dems, liberals and progressives that it is always better to vote to elect a D than to vote for any particular R, any third party protest candidate to make a statement or to stay home because it doesn’t make any difference. It always makes a difference. With the state of the GOP today, it’s always stupid to sit by and allow any R to be elected, anywhere, ever, in any position, to contribute to any potential GOP majority, period.
This is not to say we shouldn’t try for better candidates to run as long as they would seriously have a chance to win and conditions and demographics are changing all the time. Too progressive to win in one election cycle may be OK in the next or the one after that. In the meantime, I’d vote for a D piece of toast over any R. These are desperate times with no room for nice sentiments about voting for the individual, not the party.
on Friday influenced the Governor’s decision are completely unfounded. All kidding aside, he got it right. That signature will make life better for real people real soon. Well done, Hick.
