Death Penalty

I'm against the death penalty for one reason and one reason only, it costs more than life in prison. I think we should save the taxpayer money whenever possible.

The pro death penalty rabble will claim its cheaper to kill them.

It's not though, I read the study. Due to so many retrials and appeals, it is actually cheaper to give them life in prison. With life in prison you don't get as many appeals.

Actually, if I had my way, we'd just had the murderers over to the families of the victims and let them take care of it.
 
How much is American spending on the war in Iraq? How many billions wasted so far? You want to blame Obama for the fact you have no money, blame Bush first.


less than welfare/ benefit programs
For example
According to the Congressional Research Service, the cost of the Iraq war through the end of the Bush Administration was around $622 billion.
By contrast, annual federal and state means-tested welfare spending will reach $888 billion in FY 2010. Federal welfare spending alone will equal $697 billion in that year.

:eusa_whistle:

Again the Left's claim/ concern about saving money is rather hollow
Of course the good news- children produced from life prisoner's conjugal visits
will have something to support them- in case they need it
what are the odds of that....

Do you really think his tendency is to spend less?

Considering the monstrosity of his Pork Bill
one would be hard put to argue he is a tight wad

No President is. They have all this money right in front of them and all they can think about is what wonderful things they can do with it. Their mission is to spend as much of it as possible.
 
Comparative, in hopes to diffuse his blame

Indeed, they all spend money
he has spent more and wants to spend even more than
the rest

For that he is unique

So are you against the Death Penalty for the piece of shit "Joker" in Colorado?

I'd like to get your explanation if so...

Easy...the death penalty is TOO MERCIFUL.

LWOP in a very small cell for the rest of his life is a much more fitting punishment.

No books, no radio, no TV, no visitors, no conversations with guards, no nuttin!

Let this man live the rest of his miserable life completely ALONE IN A CELL with PLENTY of time to think about WHY he is now in living HELL.

If you leave them alone in a cell with no stimulation, they'll go mad. If they go mad, they'll riot. They need stimulation, but that should come in the form of books, and a radio. No TV in their cell - the inmates can get their information from newspapers.

They should be given isolation and work. That is it. You eat, sleep, work. If they need to read they can get a bible or a Koran. That is, if they are not put to sleep.

Are you prepared for more prison riots?

Prison riots do not occur under the "new structure" system. It was permissiveness in the prison environments of "reform" of the past that led to the riots, where inmates believed that they ran the facilities on an equal basis as the wardens.
 
That remains to be seen.

Well after the next election
we shall find out

After all, since the "spend" bar is at its highest
it should not be that hard to go lower
:eusa_angel:

Will Romney raise the debt ceiling again

With the mess that Papa Obama has left, he might

Then again all he has to do is spend one dollar less in deficit spending
and Papa Obama shall keep his title.

Considering how he spends, this should be easy
 
Is there a particular benefit from not having the death penalty? No. It keeps criminals alive. In states that have the death penalty, the inmate has a much greater chance of dying on death row of old age than actually being put to death.

On the other hand, where the death penalty is not available, Richard Speck got big tits and Charlie Manson gets to update his website.

It just makes us look like barbarians to the rest of the world

If the death penalty is such a deterrent, why do we have such a high murder rate compared to other countries without a death penalty?

Again, it's not about deterrence.

I'm sorry you feel that the Nuremberg trials were an example of barbarity.

Because our social programs put a large group of people in a confined area. We also are far more tolerant of violent entertainment.

Europe has more social programs than we do. They also watch the same movies we do. THeir murder rate is significantly lower than ours

The death penalty doesn't deter anything

It very effectively stops executed murderers from murdering again.
