Comments on: McCain Jabs Obama at Sheriffs' Conference


by kaelinda July 2, 2008 4:51 AM EDT: I agree with the Court''s decision for the simple reason that if a child rapist has no reason to leave the child alive (such as avoiding the death penalty), why shouldn''t he kill the child in order to prevent that child from identifying him? This decision means that child murder merits a more severe penalty than child rape, and that''s about all it does. States can give child rapists - ANY rapists - life without parole (which would prevent recidivism), but they''re not likely to do that. Someone would have to be able to differentiate between the 17 year old who has consensual *** with a 15 year old and the 30 year old who rapes an 8 year old, and I don''t think there''s a prosecutor or judge in the country that''s willing to make that distinction.; Reply to this comment

by faith_in_o July 2, 2008 1:29 AM EDT: How stupid is McSame. Don''t respond, it''s rhetorical. "judge made laws having little to do with the constitution". hello stupid mcsame. That was the US Supreme Court. THe highest court in the land. The arbiter of the US Constitution. It doesn''t get any more "judge made" then that.; Reply to this comment


by noloyalisti July 2, 2008 12:08 AM EDT: Has there been anything that McBush has not flip flopped on? Now he is criticizing the activist judges that his hero Butch appointed. This is a guy who voted against the GI Bill and he wants to be the next commander in thief?; Reply to this comment


by jeffstersf July 1, 2008 10:16 PM EDT: ljjh2008 Yeah Obama is a liberal. Just in time, thank God. Because outside of Mother Teresa (may she RIP), there are basically two kinds of people: those who live their lives in an essentially selfish manner and feel guilty about it. They%u2019re called liberals. And those who live their lives in an essentially selfish manner and are proud of it. They%u2019re called conservatives.

The first may be capable, on occasion, of responding to an ideal higher than their own self-interest; the second don%u2019t even know that such things exist.; Reply to this comment


by culturechang July 1, 2008 9:34 PM EDT: Overreaching????? That is exactly the kind of thing judges should rule on. The constitution is more important than McCain and his politics, but he sure doesn''t seem to think so.

And how can he judge Obama''s pick when they have not even happened yet.

Again, pointing out the dangerousness of a McCain administration. He is another Bush.; Reply to this comment
