I really don't know how you got off on the "GOP fantasy land" blather. There's nothing in the article about the GOP, taxes, or unlimited spending, so you're just deflecting.

Given how dogmatic you get when discussing the death penalty, I would expect that you'd be at least as vigorous in defending innocent life, trapped in a coma. I'm surprised to find you making excuses based on cost.
