At the ballot box... the problem is, you guys haven't won a fair national election since 1988, when Bush Sr. told you all that Willie Horton was going to get you!
One thing that is truly amazing about your state of being so disconnected from reality is that you actually believe that mentioning Willie Horton is helpful to any point you would try to make.
It was actually AlGore, running against Michael Dukakis in the 1988 primary, who first brought up Mr. Horton as a political issue, and it was one that ought to have been devastating to Mr. Dukakis; as it demonstrated an extraordinary degree of bad judgement on Mr. Dukakis' part. Of course the Bush/Quayle campaign used it as well. There's no reason why it shouldn't have.
Mr. Horton was a convicted first-degree murderer, sentenced to life in prison without any chance at parole, for a particularly brutal murder committed during the course of a robbery. The judge who sentenced him explicitly expressed the intent and desire that Mr. Horton should never again be allowed to go free. Massachusetts had a program, that allowed certain prisoners to be released for short furloughs. As originally enacted, this program specifically excluded those convicted of first degree murder, but a court ruling struck down that exclusion. Massachusetts' legislature quickly passed a bill to reinstate that exclusion, by Mr. Dukakis, as governor, vetoed that bill, arguing it would
“…cut the heart out of efforts at inmate rehabilitation.” It's difficult to imagine what point he saw to rehabilitating a prisoner that was meant to never go free again.
Anyway, it was under that program that Mr Horton was released on a furlough, supposedly over a weekend. Instead, he went to Maryland, where he committed a spree of serious crimes, including a robbery, a violent assault, and a couple of rapes. He was arrested there, tried, convicted,and sentenced to two life sentences plus 85 years. The judge who imposed that sentencing refused to allow him to be returned to Massachusetts, stating that
“I'm not prepared to take the chance that Mr. Horton might again be furloughed or otherwise released. This man should never draw a breath of free air again.”
Your point seems to be that the Bush campaign somehow was cheating,when it brought up the Willie Horton issue. I don't see how. It's a case that clearly demonstrates extraordinarily bad judgement on Mr. Dukakis' part, and demonstrates his unfitness to hold public office. I wonder if you think that AlGore was also cheating, when he brought it up during the primaries.
