[QUOTE=Crazy Ivan;47522373]I get that it's fun to pick on people's views because they do not reflect your own, but, although the Republican National Convention will be considering Cobra Commander as a contender, on the whole they are not literally comic book villains and it really isn't right to consider them like that.
The Death Row thing is particularly silly to straw-man against because, if you will commit to the idea that some people deserve to die for how heinous their actions are, then you should [I]actually kill them.[/I] However, because of the belabored appeal process, some people are serving out sentences on Death Row (which mind you is a particularly spartan and cruel accommodation) that reach in to handfuls of decades.
I'm not going to itemize explanations for all of those platform decisions. It's not my job to defend the Republicans. I certainly won't vote for them. But this is a democracy, and there are enough people, whether you like it or not, who vote in that way on those issues with reasons that are in fact often more complicated than [I]I hate Mexicans.[/I] (Though they do sometimes just hate Mexicans.)[/QUOTE]
Can't be pro-life and pros death penalty, there is a religious argument to be had but even the catholic/christian stance is that you don't exchange a death for a death. There's still a huge amount of people particularly the kind that republicans feed off of that are totally ignorant of the failed capital punishment system in the US, its even been outlawed by the supreme court once for being too racist and by all statistics its still too racist
