Can't say I knew the guy, nor did I care to. I just wanna know why he gets to die with dignity, while my grandfather who was terminally ill, didn't?

You should already know the answer to your question, Jeff: Republicans are self-righteous hypocrites that enact knee-jerk policies that do NOT solve the underlying problem or cause of the problem. Let me bring the two topics you mentioned together as proof:
Capital punishment does NOT reduce nor prevent crime. For the government to take someone’s life for killing a person, it… WE are no better than the person who took other person’s life in the first place; i.e., the Republican Governor of California and Tookie Williams death. However, when it comes to abortion, the Republicans believe it is wrong because it means taking a “life”. What HYPOCRITES!!! Our knee-jerk policy of killing someone like Tookie Williams solved nothing.
This is especially true since there are soooo many more important ‘life and death’ issues that we as a country should be focusing on…like health insurance. FYI, John Dingle, a Democrat from Michigan has been trying to pass legislation for a national health-care policy since 1956. That’s over fifty (50) years!!! The Clinton administration tried and failed, mainly due to a Republican controlled congress. Sadly, if we as a country had focused our attention on more important issues like health care for all US citizens instead of useless and shrill policies like capital punishment, your grandmother would have had a more dignified death than someone like Tookie Williams.
