Which Killer Candidate To Vote For ?
Primary tabs
With few exceptions, our presidential menu offers only homicidal candidates.
Public swing of opinion against the death penalty be damned. The USA must keep the death penalty in order to harden the population to all sorts of OTHER killing...in "wars", work safety violations, unjustified police shootings, the violence bred by the "drug war", industrial pollution, denial of true public health care, and contaminated products.
The death penalty issue has not been raised much, if at all, in the Prez horse race. So, here's a bit of what can be found.
Hillary Clinton: supports Death Penalty:
