That's right. My point stands - they appear to be more intelligent than you. I'd bet they don't froth at the mouth quite so much, either.
Pigs; you mean the ones that live in the own shit and then slaughtered by men looking to make a quick buck?
Fingermen swine indeed.

I dunno, you ever watch Faux Noise? A whole lot of frothing going on there and they have a lot of Teabaggers and Pigs as guests (sometimes hard to tell them apart)
The Republican/Teabagger Propaganda Dept.Faux Noise? What's that?
The Republican/Teabagger Propaganda Dept.
I thought you said you Teabaggers were smarter than the average voter? I guess it's averaged out.Not sure what you're talking about, but what does that have to do with Macamus's reading comprehension, anyway?
Feel free to lobby to have the law changed if you want, be sure to report back on how that goes.
I mentioned this episode in another thread, it was truly horrifying. When you add up the same base cheering for executions and the death of sick people, you end up with a pretty disgusting group of people these candidates are trying to appeal to.
how society should respond if a healthy 30-year-old man who decided against buying health insurance suddenly goes into a coma and requires intensive care for six months
No one is cheering for this hypothetical person dying. They are cheering Ron Paul's statement about personal responsibility and how the government is not our nanny.
So someone decides to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. If that person were to wreck and strike his head on the pavement... should everyone be forced to pitch in to pay the $300,000 medical bill when a $80 helmet would have left him with only scratches?
The hypothetical 30 year old decided against buying a hypothetical health insurance policy. I get health insurance through my employer for myself and my family. I suppose it is perfectly acceptable to tell my employer rather than pay that money to an insurance company... just put it in my paycheck. If someone in my family gets sick, we can utilize the county health department. If I am in a life threatening situation, the hospital will have to care for me... I will let other taxpayers foot the bill. Is this okay? I sure could use the extra money.. and if my fellow taxpayers do not mind what is the harm?

Republicans are scum of the earth.
Education and intelligence are not even remotely the same thing.
No, they didn't. The fact that they cheered is indisputable. What they cheered for is not. They didn't cheer because the hypothetical person died, they cheered for the notion that the government would not be forced to pick up the tab for said hypothetical person. Big difference, but you already knew that. You're just being obtuse.Yes they did, and it is indisputable. Any person who actually watched the video must admit that several people in the audience did exactly that.
Valiant effort...but I'm afraid that you're wasting your time...common sense in such matters doesn't play well with many of our "intellectuals" here.Of course, it's plain to see, a group of highly educated successful people are the "most stupid" people because they disagree with your ideology. You pretty much exemplify elitism.

Whie I think this topic is a bit overblown, your second paragraph is bull. The response came immediately after Blitzer asked to clarify if society should let this person die. That's when the yells of "YEAH" immediately followed. That's exactly what was being cheered.
Your right on the 2 or 3 idiots who yelled yeah...but, only 2 or 3 did and out of a crowd that is normal in any situation regardless of position. There were no crowd chears after the statement stating if they should let him die.
Right, and that was mentioned right from the start that it was only a few idiots. That being said, I am unaware of something similar happening in any debate of any stripe, ever. So no, I don't think you can say that is normal. The only even modestly related one I can think of was the previous horrifying Republican debate moment where everyone cheered executions.
Didn't some of the audience at the previous debate applaud when it was stated that Texas under Mr Perry had executed 234 people?
Correct me if I am incorrect but are not "Personal responsibility", meaning it is okay not to help people, and being pro-death penality part of the GOPs core beliefs?
