He was a life long opponent of the death penalty. Streaming it does not change what you're doing, so...

He never “became conservative”. He would absolutely roast people like you.

Assuming he would be against it but I know he did become a conservative near the end

WTF are you on about?

He had his own reasons to want to kick Saddam out. If you think that's "conservative" well then you have a very black and white view of things.
