In other words: A discussion of The Bush Administration
Republican senators (and senator wannabes) who are doctors come in different stripes.
On one hand we've got Senate Majority leader Bill Frist who had a hankering for killing cats.
On the other we've got Tom Coburn who wants to kill some humans
Coburn different kind of political cat
On the death penalty, he [Coburn] said: "I favor the death penalty for abortionists and other people who take life."
He said he performed two abortions to save the lives of mothers who had congenital heart disease, but opposes the procedure in cases of rape. Emphasis mine.
Without mentioning his self hatred in wanting to receive the death penalty, we'll look at the logic of utilizing the death penalty for 'abortionists' or others who take a life because they take a life. Now I realize the Roe v. Wade decision proclaimed a fetus 'not a life,' but that is just plain stupid. Of course a fetus is alive, but that doesn't mean abortion should be illegal. Whether a fetus or a teenager or an old stupid senator, no one has the right to utilize someone else's body as a life support system without permission. You have the right to say "no." So yes it is a choice. So people may be making the wrong choice for the wrong reasons but that doesn't mean it should be illegal. Anyway, giving the death penalty to anyone who takes a life requires the death penalty to be administered by a self-manufacturing and self-programmed robot (so no one could be blamed for the program that lead to the administration of the death penalty, or else they too would become a later victim of the death penalty). It also means that any one who has killed in self defense, or lost control of a car or who voted for Bush (as their vote lead to his victory which lead to war which lead to death... all so very simple) is put to death.
You see after a while the population of the country would be greatly diminished, thus bringing America to an environmental golden age. Less pollutants, less logging, zero dependence on foreign oil.
Coburn: Environmental extremist.
Sorry if this post makes no sense.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American people."
- Teddy Roosevelt
"Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of
its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work
for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering
hardship from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the
Government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make
fitting response."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions, but laws must and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
"All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain
degree."
- James Madison
"I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."
- John F. Kennedy
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
