This guy (Dukakis) was such a loser. It took Bill Weld to clean up his mess.

heres a good situation, a girl got raped and the person who did it lives 1 block away from her and is sent to jail, the guy doesn't get the death penalty for raping her and 6 other local girls and in just 12 years, he lives back in his old home where all the girls are AT LEAST 1 block away from the rapist. how would YOU feel if you were the girl in this story?

I dont think so.... Because alot of people dont think as if it happened to them.. so they oppose the death Penalty,,,but if someone raped and hacked up your family..you would want that guy to die for sure..therefor you suport the death penalty..gotta get people thinking "what if it happend to me.

Dukakis' response is what was inappropriate. He gave a technocratic answer devoid of any emotion, why didn't he say "leave my wife out of the debate"?! In any event, his response cost him big time in the election.

I agree. While it was a horrible, disgusting question to ask, Dukkakis didn't handle it very well.

Pretty much.

Even though Joe Biden is a retarded bastard, look how he handled the question about if Obama were to be killed. Total opposite of Dukakis, and it didn't cost him any points.

WOW, how can people be ignorant about the death penalty? seriously, victims CANNOT stand seeing the killer out there not dead because he or she may be back to commit more murders or better yet, hunt the witnesses that told the truth about them. why cant we be like china where 9mm is always used and the gov makes the killers family pay for it.
