Democrat - Pro-Death penalty. 

There are just some people who commit crimes that go so far beyond human decency that I don't want to share the planet with them.  Someone like Adolf Eichmann to me is a clear case where the proper punishment was death.

But, I would limit it to intentional murder and I would apply a higher standard of proof, something like proven beyond any doubt or overwhelming evidence.  This way it would be used extremely rarely and we wouldn't run into as many problems of wrongly sentencing people to death.
