Pedophiles deserve the death penalty

Pedophiles/ sex offenders -- We need harsher penalties, no doubt about it. I believe these monsters who would do this to a child deserve the death penalty. These people need to be off our streets. This problem seems almost to be an epidemic today and needs to be dealt with in a stricter fashion. Source: Campaign website, www.boforsenate.com, "Issues" Apr 28, 2006
