I’m in total agreement with Mr. Romney’s policy.
“Governor Romney believes pardons should be granted under the most rare and extraordinary circumstances,” Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said.
I really find it amazing that someone with this type of conviction expects that it should just be expunged.
One South Shore man rejected by Romney said he feels he deserved “a second chance.” The man, who requested anonymity, wanted a pardon for armed robbery, weapons and drunken driving charges [Author Emphasis] from the 1970s so he and his wife can be foster parents. “My criminal offenses are 30 years in the past. I’m 52 now,” he said.
Mr. Romney definitely wouldn’t be a Clinton.

It’s proof he upholds and respects the decisions of the court. He is a man of principle.

Wow, Mr. Armed Robbery has some serious chutzpah. I’m impressed.
Hey, the worst thing that can happen is that the governor says “no”.
