Texas has executed 400 people since the death penalty was reinstated. As of today, Gov. Rick Perry (Republican) has approved this one act of clemency which will keep a man for going to the needle for a murder he didn't know was happening.
Perry's clemency approval is one more than his predecessor, George Bush, approved.
What I can't understand is what happened to Rick? Is the stalwart representative of God and the GOP who is Governor of Texas going soft? I doubt it. There must really be some political backlash that Governor "Goodhair" is facing. I wonder what it is?
Maybe the Texas GOP is finding that promoting executions and torture is becoming less popular with the voters? I sure hope so.
