I don't understand why people continue to think that Al Gore is against the death penalty - HE IS NOT and this was stated numerous times throughout the campaign. I am very strong in my opinion of the death penalty: You do the crime, you pay the price! It is true - there is no justice in the death penalty because a murderer who takes the life of another person, especially in the most heinous of crimes, deserves to be put to death in the same manner. But until people realize that murderers have NO rights the death penalty is the closest thing to justice we have. Who wants to stand here and tell those families in Oklahoma that the bombers that destroyed their life, don't deserve to die? What about 12 year old Polly Klaas' family - she was raped and murdered by a convicted and released child molestor - oh yeah - he was reformed! Whatever! And I am a Christian with strong ethical and moral values which is why I voted for Bush. I could never with a clear conscience vote for a man who tells me the life of a child in the womb is disposable (i.e., Al Gore) - that IN MY OPINION is the devil at hand. No - Gore is not the devil, and I do not resort to labeling that serious of a term onto people.
How, you may ask, is it possible to be pro-life and be pro-death penalty? Its a matter of innocence and guilt!
