lipstick on a pig

(a term originally used by the Democratic party to insult Sarah Palin during the US presidential campaign of 2008 because some of the -IMHO misogynistic- Democrats didn't like how much make make-up she was putting on)

overkill, when people go over and/or beyond their call of duty or responsibilities, or beyond acceptable socio -moral boundaries when doing something.
I support capital punishment as a principle for certain crimes and under certain conditions, and will not, under any circumstances, go lipstick on a pig and reject the principle of capital punishment itself because I hate lethal injection or lethal gas as a method of execution; I will simply state that IMHO such or such a method of capital execution (but not the idea of capital punishment itself) is absolutely inappropriate in modern society. Or, I might reject the use of capital punishment for a specific case, but not as a principle. The moral of the fable is, do not go lip lipstick on a pig and betray your own moral principles.
