True or False

The advocacy of the Death Penalty has long been a Republican position.

4. That is what I thought

and I also think that DU has been infiltrated by some of these people from that other site. It is the only logical explanation for their hateful, bilious posts. Some even stoop so low as to put words in your mouth....

9. LOL. I was thinking the same thing, re "infiltrators."

In the past, DU has had infiltrators who posted ridiculous posts, to try to make DU look plum looney by having their post printed on the front page of Malkin or read on Limbaugh. Imagine that!

11. Seriously

don't stoop to the "you must be a freeper" tactic if I don't agree with you, I find that just silly and insulting.

12. Yeah I saw a few tonight. Most

were booted before I could even get a zinger in though.

The Dem's are divided on a lot of issues and some Dem's are VERY strong minded.

3. Why don't you donate to DU, and then you can do a real poll.

As much work as you've caused the moderators tonight, it wouldn't hurt for you to toss a couple of dollars DU's way. Then you can do a REAL poll.

Also, just my impression, but when I see a shit stirrer at DU who hasn't donated, usually my first impression is that they are trying to make Michele Malkin's front page.

Now, onto your question. It's FALSE. Even though I'm against the death penalty, I know liberals who aren't. And I would never accuse them of being any less liberal than I am. Why? Because the openness of our party to people of varying belief systems is what makes our party so great.

10. Why would that matter to you?

I do have to do some work that requires objectivity and patience. Both are fine attributes to have.

14. Most people don't bestow virtues upon themsleves

but rather let others bestow those honors. And I always tell the truth and I'd be glad if you logged off. I TOLD you I didn't like the green frog. Furhtermore all you have done is antagonize and bait then hit your alert button. As for my conversations with the Mods or Admins, they are none of your busines. Same as my donations.

13. Of course.

You can search, post polls, and post in groups. The benefits are innumerable. Perhaps you should consider donating. :hi:

And welcome to DU.

8. dunno

I do know the anti-abortion crowd seems split between pro and anti death penalty. Seems to me alot of religious conservatives may be anti death penalty but voted for the largest mass murderer in recent years.

As for me, they had 22 some odd years to prove ole Tookie's innocence, maybe it's right next to the OJ evidence. I'm pro death penalty as long as all the avenues of proof of guilt have been used, 22 years is a long time to find something.

Just as I don't let religion enter politics I don't let religion enter justice.
