No more striking evidence of George W. Bush's lack of compassion can be illustrated than in matters of life and death. In the light of this, isn't Bush platform of "Compassionate Conservatism" just hypocrisy? (Please read below)

While Governor of Texas, 130 people were executed. George W. Bush spared no one but the Satanist and child molester Henry Lee Lucas, who had murdered around 200 people. Some of those executed were mentally retarded, some had incompetent or corrupt state defence lawyers. Several had evidence to prove their innocence, DNA in one case; some were foreigners and had their right of consular access denied, appeals from the governments of Europe, Canada and Mexico went unheard. Bush even ignored appeals from His Holiness the Pope in the Vatican. Isn't the right to life the most fundamental American freedom? Isn't a State that executes people when there is proof of their innocence close to committing murder?

Being a failed human being is not the issue, but being a failure at your chosen task is the issue. Let’s stop using the word “hypocrisy”, let’s just concentrate on competency. The man is dangerously incompetent in his chosen position.
