Questions:
  1. Which form of taxation do you support?
  2. What is your view on foreign policy?
  3. What is your view on domestic policy?
  4. What are your views on the death penalty?
  5. Do you feel there should be any more restrictions on immigration?
Answer: Mitt Romney's view
What are your views on the death penalty?

Mitt Romney believes that President Obama is to gentle with the execution of the death penalty. Although abuse of this process can prove to be unconstitutional and immoral, some criminals which are backed by powerful organizations or nations that are enemies of the country should be executed in the principle of domestic safety. Mitt Romney does not completely oppose or support the death penalty, but rather takes a middle position between the two. Mitt Romney's legislation also supports the involvement of the jury in deciding if a death penalty is necessary, which is a more democratic approach to this controversial and sensitive subject.

I believe that the fact that Mitt Romney is trying to take a more neutral stand with the death penalty signals to me that he does not plan to make any changes to this process. However, I do respect and admire his statement about the jury deciding if a death penalty is necessary. A more liberal approach to the process would go a long way to decrease the controversy and arguments on the topic. If you let an unbiased jury decide the fate of the criminal, no substantial controversy or complaints can take place.
