Governors of states are required to sign death warrants prior to the execution of a condemned man, thereby affirming the sentence, also, Governors in most states have the power of Commutation or Pardon. Niether Bush brother seems to have a problem with putting people to death, and George once mocked a born again christian woman, Karla Faye Tucker, who begged him for a commutation, that many foriegn leaders and international organizations had pressured him to have mercy on.
The Karla Faye Tucker execution and Dubya's reprehesible behavior:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karla_Faye_Tucker

Yeah, affirming a sentence handed down by a duly consituted court in accordance with state law. That does NOT mean deciding on a whim to overturn that sentence. The Governor of a state has a sworn duty to uphold the law. That affirmation procedure is there to ensure a last chance for those who do not deserve their sentence (ie the innocent) to be saved.

This is not the case here. Karla Faye Tucker, along with two others brutally murdered 2 people. There is no doubt she did it as she later boasted that the deed had given her multiple orgasms as is noted in the Wikpedia article. Agree with the article or not on her motivations for saying such a callous thing but the fact is she did say it and she did do it and she did pay the penalty for it.

Justice was done.

No more Bushes, Clintons, or Kennedies, please :lol:

Don't we have any other people in this country ?

Roosevelts? :P

Hey, let's not forget brother Neal. How many hundreds of millions did this clown cost the nation in the Silverado Savings and Loan debacle in the 80's? You know, The one that Mommy Barbara, she of the famous statement,"Well that's a step up for those people."(referring to Katrina evacuees living on cots in the Houston convention center), earmarked her Katrina donation to only buy education software from the company Neal runs(?) in Houston. Besides, it won't matter after July/August timeframe. That's when George will attack Iran with nuclear weapons. Mid-air refueling squadrons are deploying now and two more carrier battle groups are deploying to the Indian Ocean. They should be on station and ready to attack in late June/Early July. With the delay of the Divine Strake mini-nuke bunker-buster test put off to early June, July or August sounds about right. That way they can cancel the mid-term elections.

Ahem, that's

NEIL Bush... Ne - i -l, with a sissy 'i'... :doh:

I used to think getting my name spelled wrong was bad. :D

My apologies to you Brother Neal. I didn't intend to libel or slander you by calling you a Bush. Now if you truly want to become Brother Neal, do a websearch on the Ancient & Honorable Order of E. Clampus Vitus. I am a brother of that most impeccable Brotherhood of Drunken Historians or Historic Drunks, and would only be to happy to sponsor you into our august organization.

Once again, my humblest apologies to you. I stand corrected, it is Neil Bush.

"Yea thats what they all say. Bake 'em away, toys."
"Uhhh Chief did you just say 'toys'."
"You heard me Lou."

Jeb Bush + The White House = President + Runs in the Family = Gulf War Three

Lets hope this never happens.

Jeb Bush soon will say he is chosen by the superior force to continue his brothers deeds...

Bush Snr was not too sharp, the son resembles the monkey and the younger bro looks like a hog, with squinty eyes and peabrain intellect protraction. How can americans vote for THAT I am just lost for words.

We did it just to piss you off.

A lot of folks were surprised when the Republicans first put George II up for president. Everybody felt that Jeb was the smarter brother by far and he was the one who would be picked for the White House.

I don't agree with George on every issue, but I do get tired of listening to the people who hate him just because they hate him. I feel perfectly certain that if he had NOT invaded Iraq they would be hating him because of his cowardice in not going.

You can't win with some people, and I also feel the same way about the Republicans who impeached Clinton. I never like him, but that whole game was purely political.

This is of course the real issue of death penalties.
It's the system, of which the Govenor is only one link. The Govenor signs as a matter of fact, unless he finds a good reason not to sign. That reason seldom exists after the long deliberations that presede the actual execution...

I have to say that I find the death penalty totally unnecessary as a preventive measure. It only satisfies those who want revenge, which is not the best of motives...

Well i'm no big supporter of the death penalty, but we have to admit it does keep those that recieve it from ever committing another crime...
