You know, if we vote for Kerry we're all going straight to hell. Well, first Dick Cheney will personally coordinate an attack on our homes in retaliation for our mistake, then we'll all go straight to hell.
One question for the Bush supporters. How can anyone be against abortion but for the death penalty?
Hypocrites.
not really hypocrites....see what crime has an unborn child broken?
im not a huge death penalty supporter...but I am open to it for multiple murderers. and the evidence has to be 100% not circumstantial.
I dont think its a deterent...except for the sicko murderer...he/she wont be killing anymore. its a punishment
America is alone in the modern industrialized world as the only nation that still uses the death penalty. There are
many problems with the death penalty as administered in the U.S. including the fact that people of different races are either more or less likely to be sentenced to death for the same crimes based on their race.
"
Two separate studies conducted in 1987 by The Stanford Law Review and Tufts University found that 350 people sentenced to death in this century were later proven innocent, including 23 who were actually executed."
What crime did they break? People make mistakes.
How is "Thou shalt not kill" selectively applied?
