My first clue came when the audience cheered pro life, (gag) Texas Gooberner Rick Perry's execution record.
Republican voters at Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate expressed their approval of the death penalty by giving Gov. Rick Perry’s record on executions some of the loudest applause of the night.
“Your state has executed 234 death row inmates, more than any other governor in modern times,” NBC’s Brian Williams told Perry as the conservative audience broke into cheers and applause. “Have you struggled to sleep at night with the idea that any one of those might have been innocent?”
“No, sir, I’ve never struggled with that at all,” Perry flatly stated. “In the state of Texas, if you come into our state and you kill one of our children, you kill a police officer, you’re involved with another crime and you kill one of our citizens, you will face the ultimate justice in the state of Texas, and that is you will be executed.”
Sound familiar?
A human being who is a murderer! Anyone who kills cops should die quickly!!!!
At last nights TeaPublican Presidential debate in Tampa, FL, they revealed themselves for who they really are.
The most surreal instance of the debate, a CNN/Tea Party Express collaboration, came when moderator Wolf Blitzer asked a hypothetical question about whether a young man who had failed to buy health insurance should be provided state-financed medical care in the event of a serious accident.
"Are you saying that society should just let him die?" Blitzer asked congressman Ron Paul, the tough-talking libertarian who seemed fleetingly taken aback when at least two audience members boisterously shouted "yeah!" when he hesitated.
It was the second Republican debate in less than a week to feature such a show-stopper from the audience. Last week in California, Rick Perry got the most boisterous cheers of the night when he noted proudly that 234 people had been executed in Texas in the 11 years he's been governor.
"Given all the applause for death in the last two GOP debates, the Grim Reaper would be a very strong candidate," read a Tweet by ThinkProgress, the liberal political watchdog.
This is the audacious public face of the Tea Party, a movement reviled by a majority of Americans, according to a number of recent public opinion polls.
Let them die? Sound familiar?
A human being who is a murderer! Anyone who kills cops should die quickly!!!!
Former democratic Representative Alan Grayson was right (pun intended). Remember the uproar his word caused? Remember how he was ousted by a TeaPublican?
ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida's freshman Democratic U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson was ousted by a veteran GOP politician after the Democrat earned notoriety for harsh rhetoric that included accusing Republicans of wanting sick people to "die quickly."
So, it's harsh rhetoric when a liberal democrat says it huh?
Lord, I HOPE and PRAY more of us show up to vote on election day than more of them.

Life in prison works for me because I'm pro life. :)
I'm glad to know you will be at the poles on election day because us liberal/socialist will be at the polls. :)
WOW we can agree on something else. I will take life in prison although I do like the death penalty in a lot of cases!
I do not agree with death penalty in any case.
