^^^^ Sniffs Yeti Spaghetti.

Sweden it is!

That audience can't handle the truth and that's why they boo Ron Paul. Over 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died during our occupation. There will be retaliation.

The terrorists are winning.

yay!





What we have here....is a mess.

The clean up crews are being derelict in their duty.

Side Bar: I proposed years ago to move to the tundra land to the North, but Arty(Mr. Boo Bees here) would not help smuggle me in.True story.

A bit of a startling moment happened near the end of Monday night's CNN debate when a hypothetical question was posed to Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas).

What do you tell a guy who is sick, goes into a coma and doesn't have health insurance? Who pays for his coverage? "Are you saying society should just let him die?" Wolf Blitzer asked.

"Yeah!" several members of the crowd yelled out.

Paul interjected to offer an explanation for how this was, more-or-less, the root choice of a free society. He added that communities and non-government institutions can fill the void that the public sector is currently playing.

"We never turned anybody away from the hospital," he said of his volunteer work for churches and his career as a doctor. "We have given up on this whole concept that we might take care of ourselves, assume responsibility for ourselves ... that's the reason the cost is so high."

The answer may have struck a truly libertarian tone but it was clearly overshadowed by the members of the crowd who enthusiastically cheered the prospect of letting a man die rather than picking up the tab for his coverage.

The Tea Party has been infiltrated by the same people who voted for Bush and supported the Iraq War.

Ron Paul needs to run as an Independent.

Ron has always run as a GOP so he gets the face time. That's smart.

The Tea Party is just the John Birch Society is just the Moral Majority. It's the same group of people, they've always been there on the far right fringe of the GOP, they just get different names over the years.

This is the most "mainstreaming" they have ever had in modern politics (since Reagan), and the old guard GOP is putting a stop to that after this congress. They don't like having uncontrollable yahoos in Congress messing up their legislative goals.
