I'm starting to feel some real uneasiness about President Bush. I have always supported him but this I DON'T LIKE. AND Campaign Finance Reform, if he does not veto that I really don't know where that will leave me. I remember VERY CLEARLY listening to him over and over during his campaign for President, come against CFR!! I will be extremely disillusioned if he doesn't veto that. That alone is so very important to your First Amendement.

Well, I didn't vote for President Bush--I found too many discrepancies I couldn't reconcile with my beliefs, so I'm not disappointed like it appears a lot of FReepers are. I tend to really pay attention to what they say and write, rather than listen for what I 'want' to hear.

I haven't been a Republican since his Daddy gave me that 'read my lips' routine...that was the final straw with me....and that wasn't easy coming from someone who was raised in a Democrat household, but never voted for Democrats at the federal level, nor state level, or who ran for office as a Republican at the state level (house seat) just a few years before GHWB pulled that stunt.

Reading that amnesty thread provides a lot of chuckles, IMO, because it seems like more and more people are waking up to what is going on. As I see it, if there are that many willing to publicly show their distress, how many lurkers are there also feeling that way.

Its best not to discuss real politics with moi.....I seem to rankle too many feathers. :)

Hi, again, on a nice fresh tread - thanks Mo!

I agree with you re: Bush's crawfishing on issues. (Do you guys have crawfish? It means backing up, and changing your position.)

To me, the best solution would be to neuter both Yeats and let them live with what they have done to themselves and their children.

I just don't see the point in killing her - the deterrent argument is so bogus - and a living hell type life would be so much more punishing than a quick needle.

Some crimes, like WindshieldWoman, call for the needle, the Yeats case, to me, does not. Jim

I look at it this way, I can handle a mistake but deception, I cannot handle. In the case of GHWB I don't even feel that that was outright deception, I feel it was going overboard with campaign rhetoric. I believe he wished he could take the words back as soon as he said them. No politician really likes to box themselves completely in. But W. was very firm on how CFR would hurt the Republican party and he repeated that over and over and even in the debates.!! I will have a great deal of trouble with that one. Lynn

Mrs. yates is already in such anguish I believe she will welcome the needle!! It will be no punishment at all. I don't want anyone to get me wrong. I am FOR the death penalty. But there are exceptions and I believe this is one of them. They have accomplished nothing by killing her. Now if they injected him - that would be much more fruitful!!

Why don't we wait till the bill reaches his desk and he goes one way or the other before we make him walk the plank??

He has been letting on that he would probably sign it, but we have seen him let the Demonrats scream bloody murder until they work themselves into a rabid foam-at-the-mouth frenzy in the past, right before he zaps them, and it wouldn't surprise me if he waits until the last minute to play his hand again this time.

Thinking about what she did is not JUSTICE. Justice isn't pretty, but it must be carried out - it's our duty. Where there is no justice, no child, no vulnerable human is safe. Justice is protection. It is civilization. Justice dictates that Yates must die for her horrendous crime against humanity.

Andrea Yates CHOSE to live with thoughts of killing her children. It's what she did for months... thinking about it, planning it - then finally executing the crimes. How is it punishment, how is it justice, to say, "Let her live to think about the horrible thing she did?" She's a MURDERER! Thinking about murder is not a hardship for her.

Considering all she's been through, she looks pretty good, considering all she's been through...

By executing Andrea Yates - JUSTICE will accomplished. That is what is needed - that's all. As long as she breathes, justice is not served in the murder case. Everyone may as well have just stayed home and not bothered showing up in court if they didn't have the stomach to do what needs to be done.
