Let Him Die - Ad being run in Florida

The Teabaggers are doing their best

to manifest a historic Democratic landslide victory in 2012,
for Obama and a solidly democratic Congress, both houses.
Bless their deluded sold-out hearts.

The only question is: will Democrats wise-up to this obvious
fact, and kick Rethuglican ass in 2012, or pretend to not
even F***ing notice?

    • If not stopped these tools of corp america will at the very least destroy the middle class,and at the most will have blood in the streets. I hope enough voters will see whats going on and throw these evil bastards out. Because if they get more power, this country will tear it's self apart.

    • No use for Tea Baggers. The original tea party is from my state the same state that John Adams came from. They didn't put their lives on the line for the rich ( the East India Corporation) but for all Americans so to my Democratic friends fear not they run the repukes adds proving they don't give a frack about regular Americans and maybe it may sink in. Except to the brain washed Tea Bagger.

      This writer (as you have on several occasions) also fails to discuss the effect of a debt based currency and how such a monetary policy intersects with the federal budget, debt instruments, and fiscal policy.

      The debt and deficit keeps going up every year because that's the way it was designed to work. Period.

      As they say over at Fox News, "Some people say..." that there are Koch Bro. operatives working as shills for the Republican/Libertarian culture warmongers who write propaganda and post it all over Liberal/Educated websites the way the John Birch Society pollutes public libraries with their literature disguised as books. Some people might say that. Do you think someone might be onto you?

    • It was a bunch of Paul supporters who cheered. It was Paul's turn at the mike. I don't recollect any candidate on the stage endorsing the cheers. I recollect a couple who followed the sitaution commenting it was wrong.

      Paul actually responded to the question correctly. It should be freedom of choice to purchase insurance (many who do not have insurance can afford it). But he added society would not let the person go without being helped.

      Had I been on the stage I would have responded, help the person then file a lien on him until he pays back his debt. If he didn't want to risk the debt he would have purchased insurance.

      It's not hard to avoid financial devastation. A policy with a 10K deductible is not nearly as expensive and limits liability to 10K.

      Oh, that is so "morally just" of you. Save the person so your party can own him/her for the rest of their life. Just where do you low lives come up with this sense of righteousness and "holier than thou" attitudes and ideals?

      Any chance you people see to fill a lien against a person and act as if you have the right to own everything a person may own, you all jump on it and think you are justified by your own self-righteousness. You, my friend, and those like you are the number 1 problem with this country.

      Santorum debate supporters boo gay soldier who has put his life on the line for his country.
      Warren_merrill tries to justify said actions with right wing talking points thereby negating his own humanity.

      A 10K deductible? I just barely get $10,000 a year are you serious or just another deluded Tea Poisoner who thinks poverty doesn`t really exist? We pay the huge costs we pay for healthcare because we pay to subsidize healthcare in every other nation on earth! The more people who have no insurance the more people will over use emergency rooms,not pay and drive up costs. Would you suggest we deny care to the dying and seriously ill because they have no money?

      No, Warren_Merrill doesn't wish to deny care to the dieing and seriously ill, he just thinks it is more fitting to put a lien against everything they may possible have in the future. You know, "We patched you up and now you must follow our rules and give us the fruits of your hard-earned, under-paid labor for the rest of your life, and perhaps that of your children if we can get rid of that pesky "No Bill of Attainder" clause in the Constitution.

I do believe that you'll get "your turn" and you can return and tell us all that YOU deserve to be treated with insensitivity and hatred because you're poor. Does your church teach you anything about compassion and caring, regardless of personal wealth? If they do, why weren't you listening?

      i kind of like the universal healthcare system as right now I'm helping someone and we just thanked the doctor who made the house call. I think after all was said and done we paid 10 euros (13 dollars) for the visit and having these visits are pretty much the norm. I'm not going to go on about universal healthcare but its great and I think a lot of people benefit from living in such a healthy social system, afterall it says much about the people...

    • I have been saying this for a while, that the function of the tea party is to polarize the people, dividing them against each other and into the arms of the rich/corporate elite who own this country.

      Fooling morons (the tea party, non-rich Republicans too) into voting for corporate interests instead of their own benefits the rich/corporate elite who own this country.

      Scaring liberals into voting for Democrats (the other corporate party owned by the elite) out of fear of a crazy tea bagger getting into office benefits the rich/corporate elite who own this country.

      Dividing the people among themselves so that they will never unite against the common enemy benefits the common enemy -- the rich/corporate elite who own this country.

      Moving the whole damn country to the right by making right-wing ideologues like Obama seem liberal by comparison to the asinine tea party benefits the rich/corporate elite who own this country.

      So the people are divided against themselves by polarizing into basically 2 corporate controlled political parties while the whole country moves to the right and legislation always favors the rich at the expense of everyone else. No matter how this game plays out and which people choose which side to be on, the losers will always be the people and the winners will always be the rich/corporate elite who own this country.

      That's probably true KB. It is probably true that the elites wherever they live will always win and the regular people will always lose no matter which country they live in. It seems to hold true everywhere, not just here in the U.S.

    • I'm wondering how Obama sat idly by and let Troy Davis die?

      No he didn't personally do it, and maybe (idk) he might not have even been able to actually stop it, but when the whole world (outside of Georgia) is saying "don't kill him" it would have been nice to see the president take a stand against lynchings...

      It would have been the nail in the coffin for the republicans had he weighed in and they fought him, but no.......

      Add that to the body count overseas, the escalating of drone strikes and "collateral damage". Obama is just as bloody handed as any presidential candidate on the right.

      And this "new war" model we've been using where the ratio of innocents to militants has been steadily rising since WWII.... We didn't used to fight wars like this, it was specifically directed force at actual armies, and there wasn't this killing indiscriminately of civilians...

      Our murderous rampages are atrocious, and Obama has been no stranger to approving more drones, which has been a serious killer of innocents, and just approving more war in general...

      ^
      The murder of Troy Davis puts the morality of our country to shame. And I congratulate you on drawing the connection between Troy and our war on terror. I agree with your concerns but let us get some facts straight.

      Killing of civilians has a long and storied past in American history. Consider the conquest of North America and the decimation of native tribes. Consider the use of small pox infected blankets given to natives. Consider Sand Creek, Wounded Knee, and the Trail of Tears, just to name a few. Consider the Civil War such as Kansas-Missouri raids and Sheridan's march to the sea.

      What do you call the inhabitants of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo, Berlin, Dresden, etc, etc?

      Let us not think that we have fought wars honorably. There is a great amount of evidence that just the opposite is the truth. Consider the Phoenix Operation in Viet Nam.

      War is the complete and utter lack of morality that seeks to justify its murder based on lines drawn on a map, or even worse, on approval from God.

      This war on terror is the best thing the MIC has ever come up with. An almost anonymous, non-national war, fought around the globe. Who knows when it is over? How do you quantify winning in such a war? George Orwell would be jealous of the war on terror.

      Please no more murder in my name!

Is it possible to shine a light on the Federal Reserve, maybe, but it is going to take people outside of the privileged class to do so which means 100 years from now we will still be splintered into groups pissing at each other because that's all they will allow.

    • It is so sad that these people have been so manipulated that they can call themselves "good Christians" at the same time that they are howling for the deaths of millions of the citizens of their own nation. Actually, I find the decline of the middle class into abject poverty to be totally amusing.

      At this point I think it might not be a bad idea if Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, LIEAP, etc., etc. all went bye bye; might be the only way to tear the blindfolds from these peoples eyes.

      These are the same people who howl "America is the greatest country on earth!!" but willfully ignore the harm we do all around the planet. That scream about how they are "Taxed Enough Already" but want the government to provide services to them whenever they need. A few years of Jungle-Law might show them just how vital GOVERNMENT is to civil-society.

      Let their churches feed, house, and clothe them because there is no value in their labor, the profits should go only to the stockholders not to the workers afterall. Let's see what good their guns do them when it comes to DESPERATION FOR ALL.
