Fine, the SUPPOSEDLY PARAPHRASED LINE to which you linked. Look, I understand that the only thing you have the capacity to argue is semantics, but I don't particularly care about those at the moment, so stop stalling and understand that the current death penalty system is broken. So, from the line to which you linked, it cannot be concluded that Paul opposes any and all death penalties.
He lists out the problems with it and says he opposes it. Certainly sounds like he opposes the broken death penalty, given his description of the problems with it. It's not like he said he opposes it because he doesn't think anyone should ever be killed. I pointed this out to you a while ago.

You'll notice he says nothing of a "broken" system. He does allude to it being carried out unfairly (which could be debated), but says nothing about rectifying that so that it's carried out more fairly.
|
Like I said, nowhere did he say he opposes the death penalty out of principle (that killing someone for a crime is wrong). So even if he has no problem with the way it is carried out, he opposes the way it is assigned.

Only an idiot would listen to what he says and reach the conclusion that he's still open to the idea, and only an idiot would try to spin what he said to mean anything other than he opposes the death penalty...

If he opposed the death penalty out of principle, he would have said so. Instead, he gave an alternate reason, one dealing with the way it is used and assigned.
And?

Right. Capture him and try him if possible, kill him if he resists arrest.

I've had no need to. You've done quite a sufficient job already...

Face it, Steve. You are posting bullshit that you are pulling out of your ass and when asked to substantiate it, you make meaningless, silly little comebacks like the one above.
