I didn't ask for proof that mentally numb conspiracy theorists still post on cigar forums.
I am probably in the minority for a change, but I've always had a problem seeing this issue as a political party line item. I see it more as an individual's philosophy based on factors such as but not limited to religious beliefs, fear of allowing the gov't the ultimate power, fear of killing by mistake, etc. Just has a different feel to it than welfare programs, international relationships, taxes, et al. Hey, that's just me.
We have conservatives here that are against state authorized murder, some cite one or more of the above for their rationale.
If the op is hellbent on establishing that libs are girly men without the testicular fortitude to pull the switch, then I am in the wrong thread. However, I did not infer that from the op at first.
TG, I do agree with you that the conspiracy advocates are missing the truth of what transpired...in this case.
Edit: I forgot to answer the original question. I am a resident Masshole, and I am not happy with the Feds attempts.
Interesting position articles in today's Boston Globe. The anti death penalty position was written by the son of a newsworthy murder victim by terrorists. he said it did not bring peace nor closure to his family. They realized they wanted something else. Good read.
