I mean, if you want to make the death penalty an issue in this campaign, you couldn't pick a better case to lose the public on.

The ultra left is in a bubble over themselves. And in a very ignorant one since most of them assume that "We won twice!!! So anybody the dems choose will be an automatic shoe-in for the presidency!!!"

This is why in 2016 or 2020, the Dems will lose and lose badly.

Did the OP pretty much just say he wants the GOP to become the party of rural, socially conservative Americans who oppose "coastal elites" and start supporting populist fiscal policies?  I guess we got our questions answered as to whether or not his views are more or less that of a Dixiecrat, LOL.

If the Republican Party stops being pro-business, is it really even still the Republican Party?

he's absolutely right though? if you seriously think the death penalty is effective at preventing terrorism, you're immeasurably dumb.

So is life imprisonment. But he misses the point that most people get: It is a just punishment, deterrent or not.

Sentences dont exist just to deter. They exist to punish. A dead terrorist is one that cannot kill again and one whose friends cannot take hostages and demand a release or a swap.

putting aside how wrong this philosophy is, what o'malley actually said was: "the death penalty is ineffective as a deterrent".

There is nothing wrong with the idea of punishment as justice nor is it untrue that dead terrorists cannot kill again. You being German gives you no credibility on any issue regarding law and order or terrorism.

Ignoring your awful bigotry for a moment, Germans actually knew how to effectively handle a terrorist threat in the 60s and 70s without chooping any heads.

The Israeli Olympic Team doesnt agree. Do you liberals purposely step in it or are you that dense?

1. I was actually refeering to Bader-Meingof.
2. Using your deranged logic, the 9/11 victims doesn't agree as well.
3. Israel doesn't use the death penalty, but I don't hear you screaming over them being "soft on terrorism".

Israel did execute Eichmann.

Tsarnaev is certainly not on his level, but he remains a fairly extreme case and one that will backfire if this is where O'Malley wants to stake his ground.

Nothing can backfire when you're polling at 1%. Tongue

Which was the only judicial execution in the entire history of Israel and only crimes committed during the Holocaust are still technically punishable to death. We're talking about diffrent types of crimes and criminals.

KSM does deserve death and Bin Laden got his.
