And I would laugh at your insinuation that a US senator and congressman (Bill Nelson and Anthony Weiner) aren't experts on what government does, but it's downright tragic that you wouldn't know that.

It's not for the executioners, who couldn't care less about having delivered the fatal shot. I mean, they volunteered for this, and if you read the account of this execution, they didn't even wait to the end of the countdown -- They started firing on the "-2-".
It's for the fiction in support of capital punishment, to lend the impression that it's thoughtful and careful. It's so people don't have to have nightmares, or take responsibility for what's being done in their names with the authority that their votes give the authorities.

Why would you care? They're off the street, no danger to anyone except others in the penal system.
Innocent people have been convicted and sentenced to death. Should they not be afforded every opportunity to prove their innocence, and ultimately test our system of justice?
You sound awfully bloodthirsty.

"Utah Department of Corrections Director Thomas Patterson said the countdown cadence went "5-4-3..." with the shooters starting to fire at the count of 2."
Bloodthirsty.

Obama has a real casual relationship with the truth, and he uses language in a similar way that Bush did, only with Bush it took a team of public relations experts and speech writers creating oxym0ronic rhetoric.
Go back and listen to Candidate Obama's speeches, interviews, debates. Or better yet read them, with your now experienced ears. After a year and a half of seeing how the promises he made during the campaign have turned out (dropped by the wayside, kicked to the curb).
This blind loyalty to Obama, undeserved, unearned, doesn't serve your best interests. The sooner you recognize that, it will be the only opportunity of having Obama & Democrats fulfill their campaign promises.

Do you remember Obama's press conference a couple of weeks ago? http://blo
"[T]here is a thorough environmental review as to whether a certain portion of the Gulf should be leased or not. . . . .Under current law, the Interior Department has only 30 days to review an exploration plan submitted by an oil company. That leaves no time for the appropriate environmental review. The result is, they're continually waived. And this is just one example of a law that was tailored by the industry to serve their needs instead of the public's."
It's not true.

elfish, it's ALL of their fault.
I'm not giving Bush-Cheney any kind of a pass -- But I'm also not giving Democrats, controlled by the DLC, any pass either.
You know that I'm an old liberal Democrat, and I've been writing about, warning about, the DLC since their takeover of the Democratic Party in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
I don't know what it is with you and 0bamabots, the failure to actually see what he's been doing, but I will keep posting the truth with supporting links until it sinks in with you.

ObamaCare is essentially HillaryCare (which I thought was terrible for the same reasons then), with one difference: The secret task force writing it behind closed doors in 1993 was, in 2010, Congress.
The objections to HillaryCare were reported in the media the same way they're were reported in 2010 (Republicans, saying there's either no problem or that this isn't the solution to the problem). Now as then, the media completely ignored the leftwing's objections which were the same, i.e., maintains status quo of employer-provided, for-profit, instead of expanding Medicare, making it single payer universal health care.
Bill Clinton, selling HillaryCare in 1993, in a couple of nationally televised Town Halls, was as tone deaf & oblivious to the objections as Obama has been from the Democratic Party's base (& healthcare professionals nationwide).

When the Clintons were trying to sell HillaryCare, BillClinton held nationwide televised townhalls. One was with a specially chosen audience of healthcare professionals -- San Diego hospital doctors and nurses.
Clinton explained the plan, which would've expanded HMOs control over more people's access to treatment. HMOs&PPOs were relatively new, middlemen, between patients & their healthcare providers. Most people in HMOs&PPOs hated them, only Clinton didn't know that.
With a big smile, Clinton said, "HMOs will be managing the care". Like that would be a good thing that everyone would love. The audience groaned, shook their heads. Clinton was thrown off by their reaction, but he quickly recovered & continued with his pitch as if it never happened. He seemed to honestly have no idea that HMOs were a problem for Americans.
Clinton had a valuable opportunity to make real change right then, go back to the drawing board, and include the American people instead of the corporations in health care reform. But as a DLCer, he danced with them that brung 'im (Big Insurance).
3 years later, "As Good As It Gets", with Helen Hunt & Jack Nicholson came out. There's a line in it where Hunt, who's been getting the runaround from her HMO about her little boy's treatment for asthma, says, "That b@stid HMO!" When that movie opened, in theaters across America, people stood up & cheered at that line.

No sir, it was not single payer.
HillaryCare was "a complex proposal, the core element of which was an enforced mandate for employers to provide health insurance coverage to all of their employees through competitive but closely-regulated health maintenance organizations (HMOs)."
