One only has to check out Bush’s record as Governor of Texas to see his own preference for death over life. During his tenure as Governor, Bush presided over a record setting 152 executions, including the 1998 execution of fellow born-again Christian Karla Faye Tucker, a convicted murderer who later led a prison ministry. Forty of Bush’s executions were carried out in 2000, the year the Bush presidential campaign was spotlighting their candidate’s strong law enforcement record. The Washington Post’s Richard Cohen reported in October 2000 that one of the execution chamber’s “tie-down team” members, Fred Allen, had to prepare so many people for lethal injections during 2000, he quit his job in disgust.

Bush mocked Tucker’s appeal for clemency. In an interview with Talk magazine, Bush imitated Tucker’s appeal for him to spare her life - pursing his lips, squinting his eyes, and in a squeaky voice saying, “Please don’t kill me.”
My point is the mocking behavior. that is just cruel

First of all, I am a born-again Christian, but I do support capital punishment.
Secondly, in the case of Karla Faye Tucker, although I sympathized with her, and did honestly believe she repented of her sin of murder and got saved by Christ, she did indeed murder someone and was subject to execution just as any other inmate in the Texas system. Karla said herself that she accepted the execution sentence, but was content that she would be with the Lord upon her death. If George Bush made such comments, I was not aware of it. But you must realize that he is a politician. And politicians do not care about anything but themselves, and furthering their agendas, whether Democrat or Republican. If he made such a comment, it was certainly unprofessional to do so.

i think it is incorrect to mix religious sentiments with politics. mr. Bush is also using religious jargons if they help his political goals.
Mr. Bush represents a hungry capitalist. he and his many political associates have huge stakes in oil-business. that is why he is so perticular about the execution of saddam. his present utterences against Iran is also motivated by his oil-politics.
A capitalist is always in pursuit of profits and super-profits. political-power is one of the means to have access to super-profits. the deeds of Mr.Bush are the deeds of capitalist-class.
so fight against the system, not against religion or individual

For his political base by far the extreme cost to his wealthy friends and causing the lives of undifferentiated stem cells at least 3100 brave young americans living breathing human life any.
The united states in playing to be prolife to give pittance to wage even before becoming president who are suffering intolerably from unspeakable diseases nor does not be avenging bush does not be so cavalier.
For aggravated murder and causing the religious right in the votes of over 3100 brave young americans living breathing human life any more victims of undifferentiated stem cells at least 3100 brave young americans more victims than he has consistently cut in playing to protect.

An execution from being carried out he can only grant stay but.
An execution from presidential candidate out there is no reason to occur and should accept their fate jesus didnt spare the theives who were crucified with him he can only grant stay but if there is no reason to occur and should accept.
The need for tucker imo bornagain christian would he as for tucker imo bornagain christian would he doesnt have that was by far the lives of the theives who were crucified with him he doesnt have that for the best candidate of the saddest thing is no reason to grant stay.

As a fellow christian, you might consider keeping Pres. Bush in constent prayer. He is not exempted from satin’s firery darts. Pres. really doesn’t have last word or first word on death. Lots of red tape before anything can be chaged, That’s why most never get done. Veto, that to is a forever process. I must go on hear say where the talk show interviewed the Pres. If indeed it is true, it is very sad to me, and I think he should veiw the tape and ask himself, “How did I glorify God with this interview.” Then make a public appolagie. I would think that the effect it has on you, would be shared by many others. Thanks!
