[PRES] Obama: Victims

[davidateyou]

And swanton480, the death penalty should be a gunshot to the head, not this long, elaborate, lethal injection bullshit.

[davidateyou]

Fullproof, taking away 2nd amendment rights only lets criminals know that if they want to commit a crime, there isn't anyone who will stand up to them except cops. That's your liberal mentality right there.. A few bad people equals the destruction of everyone's rights.

[SinzyG]

As someone who has spent their life working in the criminal justices system, I can tell you that the death penalty does NOTHING to deter crime. It never even crosses the mind of the people commiting these crimes until after they are done.

y do u think it is right for people 2 get the death penalty when u can teach them god for a lifetime good for him for voting against the death penalty i understand they r murderes but it is not right give them life sentencews so they have time 2 repent and ask forgivness to those they decived alsoi believe they should give life sentences 2 murderes and molesters raise the bar on that

[Kteachums]

Thank God Senator Obama stood for what is right. Gang related murders are children killing children. How could you claim to be helping the youth in Chicago if you passed bills that had them killed. I understand there are many grieving loved ones but, these kids are messed up and doing away with all the social programs and funding doesn't help things at all. This video is sickening.

[halyn4kucinich]

This video is pathetic. Good for Obama for voting against the death penalty.

[lorca1986]

Iraq and Afghanistan: Over 4000 soldiers killed and more than 30,000 wounded. George Bush and Dick Cheney lied and did nothing to stop it. Their friend John McCain, who is running for President, believed those lies. Who do you want for President?

Davidateyou: As long as there is the slightest chance that an innocent person could be put to death, I'll protest the death penalty.

[sickpatriot]

Also, ask the families of these victims who they would vote for...that would be an interesting response...

[sickpatriot]

This video is laughable! I was expecting something that would make me cringe as in oh my goodness they got him! But this is a joke! HAAAHAAAAAAA Gang violence...Obama didn't stop it...oh no! Chicago and several other cities in America...when are people going to realize that violence begats violence! These gangs are steeped in it...so killing will only fan the flames...to coin obama.

[dramaunitkeith]

John Edwards endorsed Barack Obama (Wed 05-14-08)!!!

Vote CHANGE, Vote OBAMA 08'

[davidateyou]

Letting them rot in jail only wastes tax dollars.. The death penalty should be used more often so our tax dollars can be used elsewhere.

[fullprof]

You should know that the death penalty is 2-5 times more expensive than a life sentence. Capital punishment is a failed public policy that most of the world has abandoned.

[BrineCat]

Christians like myself Believe "thou shalt not kill" to mean that the death penalty is wrong, and so is war.

[swanton480]

actually contrary to popular belief it cost more to execute someone then to keep them in jail so ur argument...not the best one

[fullprof]

A real lame attempt by the right wing to smear a Democrat. Attacking gangs with the death penalty would be ineffective. A more effective response would be gun control since that is the most common tool used in homicides. The American public should be too wise to fall for this deception.

[davidateyou]

Why take away everyone elses 2nd amendment right just so you can stop a little violence?

Use the death penalty you idiot.

[fullprof]

You should become better informed about the numerous failures of capital punishment. If we continue to permit weapons to proliferate, then count on the carnage.

[Mayenife]

Don't ever overestimate the american public

This ad is only hoenst if the death penalty deters crime. It doesn't. Therefore, this ad is dishonest.

[inhoc75]

this is lame. the target audience of old white men and suburban moms arent going to care about "tamika"... nice try republican hachet men

[truthforamerica]

Barack Hussein Obama brags about standing up to special interests. Maybe he's not talking about Bill Ayers the unrepentant terrorist. He is a weak and flawed candidate.

[texastootall]

McCain is bipolar and dems will hit the nutbag on his mental illlness.. no one wants a bipolar nut as president.

According to MI republican senator:

"I like McCain. I respect McCain. But I am a little worried by his knee-jerk response factor. I think it is a little scary. I think this guy's first reactions are not necessarily the best reactions. I believe that he acts on impulse."

A military leader:

"The thought of his being President sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic.

[someperson111]

Actually he chose not to kill people as the only one with the power to do so is God. Obama being a devout christian knows this very well. Let those foolish gangsters rot in jail. This is a horrible attempt to discredit Obama, FAILED

[stardestroyerjedi]

Ask the people who have lost their family members if they figure they figure the murderer kneeled down for prayer to ask God's permission as "the only one with the power to do so is God."

[someperson111]

God is the only one that can help them through there toughest of times. YOu think killing them would make their pain go away? NO.
