| Message | ADAMANTANTLY opposed!!! The death penalty actually BENEFITS criminals. Think about it: would you rather live for the REMAINING of your natural life working on a chain-gang--[which is the current law of Rutania today]--, from Sun-up to Sun-down, OR would you rather have a cute nurse administer a "Lethal Injection" into your arm and you peacefully dissapate??? If I were a criminal, I would prefer the latter!!! |

| Message | Wait, you support the death penalty, but oppose withdrawing from a treaty opposing the death penalty? |

| Message | No, you are MISREADING my sarcastic logic. I said if I were a CRIMINAL, I would prefer the Death Penaly b/c it is the EASY way out w/o having to deal with my CONSCIENCE. However, I am not a criminal but a Public Representative of Law Abiding citizens. Therefore, I cannot in good faith support the death penalty that benefits criminals from a psycholgical standpoint. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
