    The incredible decline of America's death penalty, in one chart

    There were fewer executions than at any point since 1991, and the fewest death sentences imposed since 1973.

    the death penalty is increasingly geographically isolated.

    Only six states carried out executions in 2015, with

    86 percent of executions occurring in three states: Texas, Missouri, and Georgia

    Bible humping slave states sure love to kill people, esp the black ones.

    Liar, and no thanks. I have no intention of researching your ass which you flagellantly speak out of.

    I believe you when you implied Bush was for the death penalty, but I'll lay odds his words were to the effect they were convicted by their peers, and that he supports the system. Not what you said.

    He said EVERY ONE of the 152 executed in his governorship deserved to die, no errors, the system was perfect.

    George W. Bush: Death penalty for deterrence, not revenge
    Q: What about the death penalty?

    GORE: I support the death penalty. I think that it has to be administered not only fairly, with attention to things like DNA evidence, which I think should be used in all capital cases, but also with very careful attention. If the wrong guy is put to death, then that’s a double tragedy. Not only has an innocent person been executed but the real perpetrator of the crime has not been held accountable for it, and in some cases may be still at large. But I support the death penalty in the most heinous cases.

    Q: Do both of you believe that the death penalty actually deters crime?

    BUSH: I do, that’s the only reason to be for it. I don’t think you should support the death penalty to seek revenge. I don’t think that’s right. I think the reason to support the death penalty is because it saves other people’s lives.

    GORE: I think it is a deterrence. I know that’s a controversial view, but I do believe it’s a deterrence.

    George W. Bush: Not proud that Texas has most executions
    Q: Are you proud of the fact that Texas is number one in executions?

    BUSH: No, I’m not proud of that. The death penalty is very serious business. It’s an issue that good people obviously disagree on. I take my job seriously, and if you think I was proud of it, I think you misread me, I do.

    I was sworn to uphold the laws of my state. I do believe that if the death penalty is administered swiftly, justly and fairly, it saves lives. My job is to ask two questions. Is the person guilty of the crime? And did the person have full access to the courts of law? And I can tell you, in all cases those answers were affirmative. I’m not proud of any record. I’m proud of the fact that violent crime is down in the state of Texas. I’m proud of the fact that we hold people accountable. But I’m not proud of any record, no.
