I personally don't see Bush as sadistic because the state of Texas has executed capital criminals. Gore wants to pass more laws against "hate crimes", whatever those are. If the laws currently on the books were upheld, the victims of heinous crimes would have rights instead of the criminals on death row. I believe those who truly value life should support capital punishment. Also, I would rather make decisions about my life than have the government tell me how I should live. My religion dictates my behaviour, it shouldn't be the government's business. Certainly, we need laws to protect us from violent people, as mentioned above, but beyond that we should be allowed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
