OK got me on the bible thing, I have never read it or gone to church and never will. And it was already said by LCR and Rex so your are overkilling this. Seems liberals like to find a mistake then pounce on it instead of answering the points I made. There is real little difference in DP or LWOP in many areas. Again serving 50 years in prison till your death or get the death penalty. To me if your going to convict an innocent man and take away his life might as well execute him. The true problem is we need to correct the wrongs in the CJ system not abolishing the DP. Dying in prison is no better.

I have already said I do not have a problem with abortion if there is rape or incest or Mother or child is in danger or if they can not live a normal healthy life IE (vegetable). But if they kill a child just because they don't have the money or don't have the living environment to me that is murder. And it something they should have though about before hand plus there is several better alternatives. But is spending 50 years and the rest of your life in prison any better is dying in prison any better than to be executed? I do not think it is. I do think I would error on the side of caution but in cases like this where there was tons of damaging evidence and many confessions I actually sleep better when they are killed.

I never used the bible as a justification. I just can't not stomach the fact of killers getting lose and killing again it has happened many times, if there dead they can't kill anymore

I will also add that the DP would be more of a deterrent if we had a stricter form of it and cut the massive appeals process. 2 appeals is all you need or 1 year what ever comes first. I would like to see beheading or firing squads, gas chambers or electric chairs back. I also think there needs to be public executions to let people see what will happen to them if they commit murder. Right now the process is so sissified that no one takes it seriously.

I will take a stab at it. There is also a commandment that says Eye for an Eye which I take to mean that if you kill an knowingly innocent person then your life has to forfeited. Secondly yes your life is likely to be spared if you have a lot of money but what generally happens is they are let of scott free which is really wrong. That is why I favor taking the punishment out of the Juries hands the punishment should be written in black and white with no discretion, if you are found guilty of capital murder then you die no discretion. Trials cost a lot no doubt but what is forgotten in this argument is the cost to house and feed these thugs for 50-60 years which costs over 2 million in the end they equal out. Yes innocent people are executed but there are many people who served their life in prison is that any better? or giving up 20-30 years of their life in prison is that any better? The leagle system is not perfect but it is pretty damn good

I agree 100% I also might be willing to give but if it is still legal in this country to murder an innocent child then I will be in favor of the Death Penalty maybe if abortion was illegal then I would reconsider. Until then the liberals have no leg to stand on

It is confusing but I view also view it as a win for the States because the Supreme court decides not to tell the states what kind of standards are needed. I believe this crime meets the eliminate of a DP crime in every way. It involved killing of more than one person in the same act, A child under 12 plus the way in which the killing took place. All in all a solid decision made by the court.

Good case in which Alito stepped and ruled for the Kansas Death Penalty. The case used was one where a guy shot and slit the throat of his wife then burned both her and her 19 month old daughter. I just wonder if last year if the same decision would have come down. This guy certainly deserved to die and it is about time that the Court understood that the DP is a correct punishment. Of course the 4 votes against were the liberal judges who seem to think it is cruel and unusual punishment and that the founding didn't believe in executions which is of course horse s*** because executions used to happen aplenty in those days and no one cared because the right thing was being done. Also it is time for Stevens to retire he is a liberal dinosaur that is out of touch with American values. He cares more for the criminal than the victim and invents new ways for the murdering rapists thugs to go free. Thank God for the 4 wise members and to Judge Alito for upholding justice. Justice Alito Judge Thomas Chief Justice Roberts Judge Kennedy Judge Scalia Alito rules in favor of Kansas

This guy caused terror and panic all around the country. Now it is his time to die and meet Tookie and the rest of the murdering thugs. Railroad killer set to die

Same to you Well to someone from Canada I guess it wouldn't matter what would they want with that place anyway. But here in America we do care if 50K people are killed in the homeland by terrorists. Again I didn't mean it to be an insult, I agree I should have said it better it just seems like you think you know everything and you don't. I will say it again it is not an INSULT just a suggestion so take it easy. I don't believe I said anything offensive, I am sorry you took it that way I said it was not an insult several times. I have been called much worse on here.

Why don't you stay away from this forum, you really have no clue on politics. This is not an insult just so the mods know. But seriously you are so far out of the real world it isn't funny so as a helpful hint please either get some idea on politics or leave the debating to the experts. Again not meant to be an insult

Well it was started by liberals and how he was declining of course everyone said it was such great news so I am certainly going to use it to my advantage. Seems like liberals can't handle the numbers so they have to attack the messenger which is a typical liberal tactic

Personally I would like to see them rounded up on there own island in the middle of the ocean and make them fend for themselves. These are the worst type of thug outhere the ones who take advantage of little kids.

New GA law that will keep the child molesting thugs away from the kids take effect July 1st. Then a registered sex offender can not live within 1000 ft from a place where children gather which is anything from school bus stops to churches. Good for Georgia need to teach them a lesson if want to molest our kids then you either have to live in the sticks or out of the state. Georgia Law TO GEORGIA

First of all that quote is insane no doubt on that. But the cost thing could be taken many ways to keep someone LWOP here in TN is 50K+ a year so there is 2.5 Million for keeping them alive. I suggestion I like is cutting appeals to one at state and one at federal level with a time limit of 2 years this is fair to all parties involved that would cut costs big time.

He could be guilty but we will never know because there wasn't enough evidence to even get an indictment. I do have problem's with cases where a jury has convicted these thugs and gave them a sentence like death but some bleeding heart comes along and questions the system. They have no right to be getting involved the jury has rendered a verdict and punishment and that is that.

The war could still be on going in 08. Iraq is a country which supports Terrorism and it needed to dealt with. And by 2008 we could be at war with Libya, North Korea or Iran or all of them who knows, but a cut and run strategy in this war on terror could and most likely lead to another attack if that were to happen while a lib was in office the party could be dealt a huge blow.

Well to some libs they could light the fuse in broad daylight and still find ways to say there innocent and there rights were violated by the terrible government. So when dissolve a terrorist cell, charge them with treason and convict them and put them away for life we are really allowing them to take over the country Well you know these thugs are good people they had to be wrongly convicted by our rotten government.

Well Thanks but maybe I should change a some of the words because I certainly do not want to sound like her Ann Coulter :finger

Nope didn't even hear the interview. Don't listen to her or that Cindy Sheehan both are people I do not respect

Yes I am standing up for our president I just fail to see how bad of job he has done. I will even add Joe L I never though I could stand for him but what he has done is awsome, standing up for what he knows is right. The way I see it is we have done so much good in Iraq lets finish the job. It would be terrible if we cut and ran like some libs want to do then have Terrorists retake the area and attack us once again. I have to appulde the liberal plan here because it is one that if it fails will ruin the party for ever. There is no way they could recover if there cut and run strategy ended up with the terrorists committing more attacks and Tens of thousands of dead on the homeland. To our great president To Joe L

You Rasmussen who got the 2004 Presidential race down to a tee, If that makes them conservative then that is the way I want to run my business. It is a shame that Zogby made such a fool of him self saying Kerry would win 311 or so electorial votes he also said that Kerry would win VA,CO,OH,FL,NV and NC as well and the closest state to a Kerry win was OH which he lost by what 100,000 votes. And yes the 7 day AVG is 41, but look at the numbers the last 4 days up up up up

Job Approval

Bush approval gained the last 4 days and up 44% and the war have also climbes. This is good news and good news for conservative candidates who should win big in November. President Bush

Wow bringing the hippies back into this, This a very classy post. As far as I am concerned I could care less if a hippy lives happy or not. They were disgraceful era, thankfully forgotten.
