Yes, Democrats are for killing the innocent and saving the lives of evil people.

Meanwhile Conservatives (Republicans) are for saving innocent life and making the evil ones pay - again go figure how we are made out to be the bad guys!

My view is that you jail for life the bad guys. Not because I don't want them to fry, but it would cost about 7 million less to just house them for life.
Until we bring down appeals cost it is cheaper by millions to house them.

Also, though I want' NO ABORTION, if we could take the argument that abortion is only acceptable in rape or life and death of mother, then we can save 99% of the babies.
Convenience and selfishness makes up 99% of the abortions.

Again, nothing against the death penalty or no abortions, I just think we have to frame the argument down a different road on the way to the same end!

The all or nothing route often leaves you with nothing.

There is another issue. I don't believe there is such a thing as life inprisonment in our country. Even Serhan Serhan (sp) and Manson are routinely brought before the board for release. There are govenors and presidents that provide pardons. We have about 18,000 murders per year and less than 100 executions. The problem is that the murderer gets out and victimizes again. I belive that cost to society may far exceed the $7 million.

How I wish there was some reliable data on repeat murderers that had already been caught once.
