Wonder if he'd speak to survivors of homicide victims, given his anti-death penalty stance?

If he showed up before them, he may be stupid enough to tell them 'moveon.org'.

That would T us off even more than his not supporting the death penalty.

There is no difference in using it on terrorist than on a non-terrorist killer.

BTW did you know because he prosecuted people, put them in prison for life, he FEELS MY PAIN? HORSE FEATHERS! He's not walked that mile in my shoes, he doesn't have a hole in his heart because your child has been murdered.

His stats are more junk stats, it's more like 12, most of the 100 he sites have been freed due to technicalities in the trial...not because the were innocent.

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.

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.
