Tea Party GOP Debate tonight

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.

Yeah we need more McConnell and Boehner.

We need two more parties to fracture the one party posing as two.

Eww, eww, ewww ...... now I need a brain bleach.

We have never allowed a viable three party system (money control issues by those in power no matter the party), so I suppose the best alternative is to have the non-money interests trying to influence the true morality of society via socialists pulling the Dems, the Birchers pulling the GOP, and libertarians pulling everyone towards a (slightly) more reality-based world

Is anybody else sick of these two parties. All they are is a bunch of lawyers who every year don't do nothing. Instead how about we get a party that actually represents the common folk. Have teachers in there that would get something done. People who know how the common person feels. Instead we have a president thinking spending money will solve the unemployment and 2 parties bickering. Its time for a new party and along with that get rid of the fed. Its a joke its a bunch of bankers who don't give a damn about you and I. Start fresh tell the fed to go to hell and start printing greenbacks again. It worked in the past and can work again.
