hanoi john committs atrocities yet he doesn't want the survivors of homicide victims to have the death penalty as a form of justice.

He'll give the killer of a 5 year old American girl a 'pass' with just a prison sentence.

KING: I've done a lot of shows recently dealing with the death of little children. A person who kills a 5-year-old should live?

KERRY: Larry, my instinct is to want to strangle that person with my own hands. I understand the instincts, I really do. I prosecuted people. I know what the feeling of the families is and everybody else.

MY NOTE: BULL HOCKEY, unless you walk in a homicide victims survivors shoes you can't 'know' what they are feeling. hanoi sure doesn't know how DK and I feel about loosing our son to a sociopathic killer. Who only got a measley 20 year plea bargain and served only 14.5 years of it.

But we have 111 people who have been now released from death row -- death row, let alone the rest of the prison system -- because of DNA evidence that showed they didn't commit the crime of which they were convicted.

After spending -- I myself worked to get a person out of jail who had been there for 15 years for a murder that person did not commit.

Now, our system has made mistakes, and it's been applied in a way that I think is wrong.

Secondly, I don't believe that, in the end, you advance the, sort of, level of your justice and the system of your civility as a nation -- and many other nations in the world, most of the other nations in the world, have adopted that idea, that the state should not engage in killing.

(APPLAUSE)

Because they have very bad memories of what happens when the state engages in killing.

Narrator: John Kerry says everone was doing it. That's his exscuse. But President George Bush knows that leadership isn't about going along with the crowd. Especially when it comes to America's place in the world.

John Kerry: "I took part in search and destroy missions in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare. All of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions."

Narrator: "Speak for yourself, Senator Kerry--not for America."

Kerry makes me sick.
