We know that as Governor of Texas, Bush liked to execute people. It was this approach to the death penalty that was my number one reason for opposing Bush in 2000. He cared so little for human life that he even laughed about some of the executions. He also had no problem executing the mentally retarded and juveniles. Fortunately, in 2005 the Supreme Court explained that Bush's conduct is unconstitutional, not that Bush cares about that silly document.

Well, here is another area that John McCain agrees with Bush. This week, while throwing a bone to the wild dogs of the far right about judicial activism, McCain expressed his favor for the unconstitutional execution of juveniles. He was silent about the mentally retarded, but you would have to assume he wants them dead, too. McCain explained that even the conservatives on the Supreme Court were fools for not letting kids be executed.

Hence, it seems McCain is calling for their decision to be overturned....so he is calling for judges to actively strike down a law....so he is campaigning on judicial activism.....huh?

Either way, McCain wants us to be the only nation on the world with the death penalty for juveniles. Further, only 21% of Americans agree with McCain's hope to execute children. Another example of how McCain is really McBush, and how McBush is really the hell out of touch with the American people.

Unfortunately, this week the House Republicans seemed to attempt to cancel Mother's Day. Fortunately, the Republicans plan was stopped and we are all free to enjoy the rest of the day.
