Who gave you this idea? As I said before, those who support the death penalty have respect for life. I have a great respect for individual liberty yet I have no problem with people being imprisoned as a punishment for a legitimate crime. I have a respect for people's propety yet again I believe people should be fined for certain criminal offenses. Your not arguing against the death penalty, your arguing against the concept of punishment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30252872.post-83031095097266250872008-09-16T21:28:00.001+01:002008-09-16T21:28:00.001+01:00I believe it was Palin herself who described the R...I believe it was Palin herself who described the Republican party as having: "Respect for equality and respect for life". That immediately suggests that she herself holds a "respect for life" and yet if she did then why does she support the death penalty an issue many Christians such as herself would deem not for man to decide. A respect for life would suggest that death should be prevented at all costs and not enforced as a punishment.<BR/><BR/>To make matters worse She bears a life time membership to the NRA and is fond of hunting. Surely a person so "pro life" and who believes that god created all animals would not take pleasure in killing them for sport? <BR/><BR/>Not only is she hypocritical in these policies but she supposedly believes in "abstinence only" and yet is quoted to be supporting contraception in 2006. If this woman cannot even establish her own views on issues, and contradicts many of her policies, then how on earth can she be trusted with a position of power in arguable the most powerful nation in the world? <BR/><BR/>I could go on listing her contradictions but I feel I have made my point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30252872.post-60749107691125337542008-09-16T21:28:00.000+01:002008-09-16T21:28:00.000+01:00I believe it was Palin herself who described the R...I believe it was Palin herself who described the Republican party as having: "Respect for equality and respect for life".

Again there is nothing hypocritical about being a pro-lifer and supporting the death penalty.

Why does a 'pro-lifer' so eagerly support the death penalty? Palin holds those positions too.

Then what difference is Sarah Palin, surely the self confessed Pitbull with lipstick is riding high on the novelty kite, and so when the american public realises she is a disillusioned "hockey mom" whos hypocritical nature (Creationist who has a passion for hunting?)Then the republican party will be left as drab and as unatractive as it was before JohnM cCain announced his running mate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
