Leslie Rutledge Thinks Hiring Conservatives is Discrimination
Leslie Rutledge has worked for the RNC and the NRCC. She has worked
for Mike Huckabee. She’s a Republican. But a lot of conservative lawyers
are skittish about her being the Republican nominee for Attorney
General in Arkansas.
Rutledge has, five times, voted in Democratic primaries in Arkansas.
She’s running against David Sterling, who never left Arkansas for the
greener pastures of the RNC, and who is a committed conservative. And
that is where a lot of conservatives have concerns with Rutledge.
Sterling recognizes the importance of having conservative attorneys
general around the nation. He wants to make sure the Arkansas AG’s
office is well stocked with conservatives. But Rutledge has raised a red
flag over having an AG’s office stocked with conservative attorneys.
She thinks it would be discrimination. Seriously.

More than 100 people, mostly women and children, were left to their own
devices at the Tucson Greyhound station over the last two days after
Department of Homeland Security officials released them on their own
recognizance. "The sheer volume of people being released is staggering.
On a holiday weekend most of the buses are already booked," said Laurie
Melrood, a volunteer helping families at the station.
