George Banks, convicted mass murderer, gets another pass from a judge that will likely be removed from the bench and even more likely be indicted. Judge Conahan found Banks to be incompetent to be executed. After two decades of being coached, I am pretty sure you can teach a rock how to be declared mentally incompetent.
I still remember the smug look on Banks's face when he was arrested. There has never been any doubt that he is guilty. This is the glaring problem of capital punishment. This asshat's execution has been delayed for what feels like forever. The argument from the pro-baby death/anti-death penalty crowd has always been that it costs more to execute a killer than it does to keep them behind bars for life. The Banks situation may in fact prove their point. The legal fees that amass from keeping killers alive is what they are talking about. The question I have is why do we as a society allow it?

A good example of why we hate lawyers
http://www.timesleader.com/news/Experts_say_Banks_delusional_08-14-2008.html
Above is the story about George Banks. His main attorney Al Flora has fought to keep this scumbag alive for 2 decades. There is absolutely no doubt of his guilt. Why is he still alive? Why is he now delusional? I am not saying that he has had over twenty years to practice and be coached how to fool a head shrinker. Actually, yeah, I am saying that. That aside, I could not give anybody the hair from a rat's fookin ass to keep him alive even if he really is batshit crazy. For what possible reason are we throwing away tax dollars on his worthless ass? To keep Flora's name in the paper? For the free publicity he gets? I don't know and I sure as hell don't understand it. I truly believe that when you maliciously kill somebody that you give up your right to life. Isn't it ironic that the liberal left is all for killing innocent babies but all for keeping this piece of shit and others like him alive? Before any of my leftie readers give me the old but you claim to be pro-life argument, let me stop you there. I am anti-abortion as a means of birth control. Yes, I do think there can be extenuating circumstances when an abortion would be ethical (think rape) otherwise I ask those choosing this vile practice for no other reason than stupidity, ever hear of adoption?????

Stupid Tuesday and other Things
As we watch the events of twenty plus states unfold, please remember we haven't had our say yet. Rush is bashing McCain to beat the band with Ann C. on the same page. Is this a put up job? I think it may be. Personally, I think Mitt is the man that most closely resembles my beliefs but he is trailing badly.
What I really want to talk about is the "hot button" bullshit that is being thrown about. Universal Healhtcare, really social medicine, my question is this; How do you pay for it? By the Dem's numbers there are 48 million people without health insurance in this country. That is roughly 1/6 of our population. I have a novel idea to see how many people really support it. The other 5/6 of the population pay the exact same amount for it. That's right, if it comes down to $2,000. per household (number pulled from rectum), and we all pay the same for it, let it pass. If it is another "you make more than average, you pay for it" scheme, let it die the death it deserves. To you liberals (read socialists), put your money where your mouth is. You want it, then help pay for it, regardless of what you earn.
The death peanlty; You want to know why it isn't a deterrent? It is rarely enforced. Look at George Banks as a local reference. He never denied that he is guilty. His asshole lawyers have drug it out through appeals this long( over 2 decades). Now they claim he is crazy from being on death row so long. WTF?
Fair Tax, there is no such thing in America. Very few people actually pay tax in our country. As a matter of fact, the top 20% of wage earners pay 90% of all the revenue collected by the Infernal Revenue Service. That means, for all you folks bad at math, that 80% of our population pays only 10% of the taxes collected. Don't believe me? www.irs.gov Look it up yourself. The next time you want to whine about tax cuts for the "rich" just do everyone a favor and STFU.
Illegal immigration is a joke. We don't enforce the laws we have and they all want new ones. What a friggin tragic comedy. The genie is out of the bottle, you aren't going to get it back in. The Pol that figures out a reasonable solution to this will have my unwavering support.
The 10th race; Mr. Hackett, please stop with ads about how you created thousands of jobs. You didn't, you merely supply temps for jobs that are already created. If I see that stupid ad one more time, I swear, I'll go out of my way to support Meuser. Your ad is an out and out lie, which is the last thing our party needs in this district. Please keep your ads focuused on the real issues. You are, in fact, a great businessman, leave it at that.
