>>Death is the kind of mistake you can't really take back. Oops, my bad just doesn't cut it. And it has everything to do with George W., as Texas by far executes more people than any other state.

>Non-answer. Florida has the highest rate of citrus canker because it has the most citrus. Must be those damn orange trees at fault. Doh! Again, WTF?

At this point, can anyone be totally convinced that every person about to be executed is really guilty? Not me. After 9 death row inmates were exonerated after DNA testing? Not me. For what it's worth, I use to be in favor of the death penalty, but after the OJ trial, I have a better understanding of how the criminal justice system works. You have the money, you don't do the time.

Here's a story about how the death penalty works in Texas:

And George W. keeps signing them. Yeah, that's a big problem for me.

I am not a supporter of Bob Graham, and not terribly concerned about him, as

1. He does not represent my state
2. Is not going to be my next President

Now, if he should run for President, or suddenly become a Senator from Kentucky, I'll be concerned. Matter of fact, I did not bring up any other governors, nor Senators, nor Representatives because last time I checked, none of them were going to be President.

It is factually related. George W has the power as Governor to stop those executions, and doesn't. How much more related do you want him to be? What, he has to go down anb throw the switch himself before he is involved?
