6 Of 17 Republican Candidates Are Executioners

by abolition
As US states are killing the death penalty with only 5 of 50 holding executions this year, over 1/3 of Republican candidates are executioners

Of the 17 candidates in the Republican Party, 6 are executioners, and 5 are serially killing governors.

Former governor Rick Perry: 234 executions succeeding G W Bush's 152
Former governor Jim Gilmore 37 executions in 4 years
Former governor Jeb Bush 21 executions
Former governor Mike Huckabee 16 executions
Governor John Kasich 12 executions Only Northern state governor who has executed recently
Governor Bobby Jindal 1 execution

2 of the executioners, Perry and Kasich, are battling
for the 10th spot in the 1st Republican debate in Cleveland Ohio.

The Republican Party is also the party of trophy hunters, with G H W Bush a keynote speaker at Safari Club International, while G W Bush was awarded 'governor of the year' by Safari Club. For Steve Chancellor, a trophy hunter and coal magnate, G W Bush wrote the Botswana government asking that Botswana reinstitute lion hunts.

Why do you exclude the Democrats from this announcement? The Democratic Party is a proud death penalty party. Senator Dianne Feinstein is a death penalty Democrat. The last time Senator Boxer ran for office, she was for the death penalty. Both the Democratic and Republican Parties officially support the death penalty. See http://classroom.synonym.com/republicans-versus-democrats-death-penalty-23806.html

There is some declining support for the death penalty but when you consider MOST OF THE WORLD, not just the industrialized world, has abolished the death penalty, including Mexico, South Africa and Ivory Coast, then you realize the United States is a profoundly backward country in its support of the death penalty. Almost 60% of Americans, including 47% of Democrats, still support the death penalty and 44% think it is not applied often enough. Over 50% of Americans believe the death penalty is applied fairly when in fact only the poor, and especially the non-white poor, receive a death sentence.

If you oppose the death penalty, you have to vote for the only 2 parties that oppose the death penalty. You can go online now at to register at: https://covr.sos.ca.gov/?language=en-US
