Serious question. I don't live in Oregon, so I haven't followed that closely. Those of you that voted for him, are you happy, or regretful that you put a man in office that admitted he couldn't run the state the first time? I thought it was foolish for people to elect him again, but I don't know how he has done this time. Only how he did when I still lived in Oregon.
Lets see.. other than his not allowing the use of the death penalty while he is in office, and the claim that he will once again bring the whole subject up to "the voters" that have been fine with it every time.. Allowing out of state as well as out of the country contractor to eat up all the obummer stimulas monies.. fuck, he is great..
So as I expected. Hopefully Oregon can get someone in there next time that will help turn the state around. Dem or Rep.
Not that you'll care about the facts, but Oregon voters have voted both for and against the death penalty in the past, the last vote on the subject being 27 years ago. Of course he allowed that, since he had no power to stop it. That was federal spending, and allowed by a Department of Labor rule. And before you go blaming 'obummer', that DoL rule has been around forever. for all you know, he might be. barfo
What I don't get about him is this. It's ok to kill babies, but it's not ok to kill convicted rapists?
I'm pretty sure he's never said he's in favor of killing babies. You are confusing him with me. But I eat what I kill, so it's ok. barfo
well it is well known that he is pro choice but anti death penalty. He will kill you unborn fetus and let a murder who wants to die live at the tax payers expence on both cases, not that I let the facts get in the way...
He got UO's President fired for running too successful of a financial model. Only 7% of UO's operating budget was going to come from state funds. Kitzhaber has gone full dictator, or as close to one as the Oregon governship allows under the state's constitution.
Not only that, the Haugen has hinted that he will kill again in prison now, just to prove a point. I'm sure the family of Haugen's next victim will be happy that John Kitzhaber denies murderers who want to die the opportunity to find new prey in prison.
He won't kill anyone in maximum security. I'm with the Gov on this one, living out his life in prison is far greater punishment than being sent to a quick death.
Living out his life in isolation 23 hours a day is more humane then killing him? That's an interesting perspective. Kitzhaber isn't sparing him to punish him with a more severe punishment. You know this, right?
Obviously not if you read my post. Either way I think people on death row should be punished instead by living out their lives and reflecting on what they've done.
Reflecting what they have done? These "people" aren't puppies where you rub their nose in the pee on the floor and tell them to think about what they've done. These are "people" that rape and kill children and innocent other people of this world. They simply don't put a lot of time into reflecting. These are people that doctors over and over say can not be reformed. Put a gun to their head and shoot them day 1. Fucking bleeding hearts in this country kill me
