I heard this week that a few republicans were pushing for a death penalty
for killing a police offcicer and for acts of terrorism.

I am sure it will be shot down again considering the people that will be
voting on the issue.

I would also be willing to bet that Patrick would be against this issue.

If Patrick get's any endosements from the Police in this election, I will be
suprised.

The police hated the idea of the flag holders taking away their overtime.
It will be interesting to see who the police endorse for Govenor.

My guess... Cahill.

Aren't acts of terrorism the venue of the federal government??? I believe those acts are covered by federal statute...

May not be fully covered and could depend on circumstances...some terrorist incidents are tried in state courts where they can get a more favorable outcome and/or a more fair trial. That happened with the DC snipers, who were tried and convicted in Virginia as opposed to over federal court or Maryland court.

Great, more expense for a state that just had to slash another 600 million.

When will people learn that the death penalty is a fiscal joke?

I think Christy Myhouse has it as a part of his platform. Why I dont know?

The death penalty is a joke. It doesn't work as a deterrent. It costs a fortune. Killing someone wrongly can't be undone.

Cops lives are worth no more than anyone else's. Who the hell do they think they are?
They can't even do traffic details right, anymore. For every cop that does a good job directing traffic at a construction site, I see one who's yapping on the cell phone, shootin the shyte with one of the workers or someone who stops in the street to have a chat.

What we need is a prison without guards, giant walls, somewhere on the North Slope of the Brooks Range in northern Alaska. Let the scum figure out their new society without women or TV - "Lord of the Flies"-style.

Throw child molesters in there with brutal murderers.

You know you gave me a great idea..... We need prisons that you think you can escape from..... Remote locations, Bear Grills style escapes. Let natural selection and rugged terrain sort it out....

Please explain how those two have anything to do with each other...

You can call this terrorism, but what usually comes to mind with terrorism is some type of effort to destroy or harm political structure, political figure or something similar... terrorism has more to do with politics than anything else.. nor sure the DC snipers were making a political statement..

The DC Snipers sound more like mass murderers... would that make Charles Whitman a terrorist, John Wayn Gacy a terrorist, Jeffrey Dahmer a terrorist???

According to "The Liberal Way" there is no such thing as a "terrorist" unless of course a Neo Con or a Christian kills somebody.

If Democrats were "Waterboarding Presbytarians" liberals would be silent.

How silent the liberals are now that their "Poster Boy" sits in the White House, during the Hated Bush Years they yowled, they sobbed, they marched in the streets with their silly little signs and banged their toy drums over The Wars, The Economy and Bush Mowing his lawn now Dead Silence but the Wars still rage the Caskets keep coming home people are still losing their homes the Muslims are still playing Soccer By The Sea down in Club Gitmo, nothing has Changed in fact things get worse by the day but the Nasty Liberal Democrats have their Charming Lip Smacking Prince thats all they want the hell with America.

To A Liberal A Terrorist Is Not A Terrorist Unless He's A Neo Con White Baptist Bastard
