Common Sense on Capital Punishment::By Fred Thompson (http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/FredThompson/2007/06/27/common_sense_on_capital_punishment)

Our country seems to be able to come to the right conclusions over time, even when we’re being told over and over again that we're wrong. When I say the right conclusions, by the way, I mean conclusions supported by honest research and real evidence. I've got a good example -- capital punishment.

In the last few years, however, serious researchers have applied themselves to finding the evidence. Criminologists and economists have gathered and analyzed a mountain of data, and many of them were surprised by what they found. Now, they’ve published papers in respected academic journals that are establishing an unexpected consensus.

It was the bleeding heart Liberals who started the whining that the Death Penalty was not a deterrent to crime.:flame:

That re-affirmed their mantra of "Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth" which they have applied to nearly every issue in this Country.:flame:
