he (Jeb) had a hard time "as a human being" signing death warrants, in part because it conflicts with his Catholic faith

"Whoever sheds man's blood,
By man his blood shall be shed,
For in the image of God
He made man."
Genesis 9:6

For the life of me, I don't see why Jeb has a conflict here. The Word of God doesn't.

the governor who ordered Terry to die is now lecturing us about the value of life.

Couldn’t have said it better!!!

Jeb is mentally ill, he can’t understand why people don’t want him, he lives back in the 2000’s when things were so different BEFORE obuma, he just can’t accept that American does not want any more BUSHES in the White House!!!

Whole thing is bogus. Bogus from the git-go. It is not a violation of Catholic faith and morals to sign a death warrant in cases where guilt for a capital crime is beyond reasonable doubt.

People are squeamish about blood shed and it is over too quick. A perp twisting in the wind for 30 minutes or so leaves a much more powerful impression.

I'm rather fond of the way the State of Utah used to handle it-- choice of hanging or firing squad.

I heard that most convicts chose hanging because it would cost the state more. Fine by me. It also makes a more lasting impression, particularly when accompanied by hymn singing first.

Gov. Bush did not order Terry Schiavo’s death. He fought for her until it came down to the possibility of state and county LEOs having a shootout.

Jeb is a catholic?! One more reason to not vote for him. As if I needed any more reasons.

More Jebberish.

About the time I think Stupid Jeb can't piss me off any more than he already has, the clown says some other stupid thing.

Yes Jeb, this is exactly the reason we don't want any of what you are selling. You are a squish. You are a person who is fuzzy on what he believes, and you always "grow" in the direction of the Democrat Positions.

Why don't you "come out" already as a Trans-Democrat?

Jebbie is to GHWB and Barbara as “Ron, Jr.” is to Reagan and Nancy!

Jeb and Ron, Jr., are not the same in family loyalty but in leftist-style propaganda.

Unless it’s Terri Schiavo, someone who couldn’t even speak for herself. And as long as it is a long, painful death and she was innocent and committed no crime. Then ol Jeb is all for it.

But murdering thugs. Not so much. Go away Bushes. Go away.

So you would prefer that ALL Catholics vote Demonrat in 2016. Doesn’t sound like a very solid strategy for winning. We do not provide as many votes to worthy candidates as we should but we are the largest denomination in the nation and you can win nothing without some of us.

I think Bush became Catholic so his social agenda is going to reflect that. Open borders...no death penalty, rehab and not prison, etc. The joyful warrior...spit.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? I said Jeb being catholic is one more reason not to vote for him. I didn't say anything about catholic voters. But since you brought it up, most catholics will be voting DemocRAT anyway.
