As you well know, the lawmakers don't always go with the people after elected. You also know, as well as me, that the typical Kentuckian is for the death penalty. You are just like Kimball and jetpilot, you can't stand it if people don't have your views, then ridicule them. A typical conservative reaction, if they don't agree with you, they are wrong, evil and ****ed to ****. Redo the thread, and add a poll, and see if the regular people on this board(Kentuckians) approve of the death penalty or not.

I don't think congrssman is a consevative. I may be wrong but he is against the death penalty and for gays in the military. Those are two typical liberal stances. However he is prolife. But you statement about conservatives made me think about how parties change. I'm reading the book, "Summer for the Gods" right now. Its the Democratic and one time secretary of the state William Jennings Bryan calling people evil for not embracing religion in schools. He is on a witch hunt for evolutionist. But today religion and republicans seem to be thrown together.
