Siegelman Backers Seek Pardon for Ex-Ala Governor

21. The Republicans will always be around to try to make 'Democrats look bad'.

It is this fear of Republicans that got us to where we are. That is no excuse for allowing a gross injustice to take place. It is shameful in fact to say a man should go to jail so a politician doesn't 'look bad'. In fact it makes a politician look worse to allow that to happen for that reason.

And worse to pander to stupid bullies by letting one of theirs off the hook to try to appease them when everyone knows you cannot appease bullies.

The American people admire courage and in general will support exposing corruption no matter which side it's coming from. Karl Rove isn't exactly the most popular person, even among Republicans, in this country. So we've allowed war criminals and economic criminals and corrupt Republicans, like Rove, off the hook, in order to appease the far right? And has that stopped them from criticizing the President? Maybe it would help to show them we don't care what they think and they might stop intimidating democrats especially if they are busy trying to defend themselves from criminal charges.
