And I doubt if those who remember Attica would call him "moderate."
Murder is murder, even if unarmed inmates are being slaughtered during an ill conceived attack to "restore order." No one will ever know how many innocent people died (guards included) because of Rockefeller's order for an all out military type assault upon Attica inmates.
Why did this happen? Because it was the Nixon era and Rockefeller wanted to prove he was tough enough to be president. Rockefeller was determined to show he was "tough on crime" no matter how many innocent lives were lost.
Fuck this "moderate" Republican. He's just one more prick who didn't give a shit about anyone's life or well being but his own.
