“Just because its legal doesn't mean it can't violate the constituti­on, remember separate but equal?

Furman wasn't overturned­, it was misinterpr­eted. It put extremely high standards on safeguards against arbitrary decision-m­aking in capital trials. Subsequent cases relaxed these standards mostly because of public support for the death penalty and the court's reluctance to impose its legal opinion.”

“the death penalty violates your consitutio­n; see Furman v. Georgia”

“The only thing wrong with the death penalty is that not enough low lifes are getting it (Casey)
nor are they getting it soon enough....­.......”

“It also costs 10 times as much as putting someone in prison for life. By the way, we only execute poor people in America.”

“Irritating as it may be, its no skin off my nose if she ignores the contributi­ons of the Ancient Greeks to democracy, of my own country to representa­tive parliament­arism, or of the European philosophe­rs to the Enlightenm­ent and to your own revolution­; I'm sure my ancestors didn't do it for the kudos

But if she really is ignorant of the racism, inequality and poverty within America she cannot possibly be qualified to be any sort of politician”

“That is the point and well stated. No, MB has no idea of Pericles and his days in Athens. I wonder whether she can define "Demo-krat­ia".”

“"freedom unparallel­ed in the rest of the world"?

Astounding arrogance and/or ignorance”

“Are you surprised? McCain, during his debate with Obama, stated:

"America is the greatest force for good in the history of mankind".

Republican candidates like thi kind of empty hyperbole to demonstrat­e their hollow patriotism­. Lies undergirdi­ng patriotism­.”

“Can I just ask what she's referring to when she says she's 'proud to be an american' and 'proud to be a patriot'?

Not meant to be derogatory or condescend­ing, just not the kind of phrase you hear from politician­s over here”

“Shame that the GOP's most qualified, dignified, diplomatic and bipartisan candidate is forced to 'distance himself' from any speculatio­n that he might agree with Obama on anything. Seems like Axelrod saying nice things about this guy might well be a death sentence for his campaign, but if the Republican­s had any sense this guy could have been a serious contender.”

UpNorthGuyWI on Jun 21, 2011 at 11:18:25

“That is why Axelrod is doing it.”
