Ron Paul: That is what freedom is all about and taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to take care of everyone...

(Tea Party crowd cheers)

Moderator: But congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die?

(Tea Party crowd screams YES!)

Ron Paul's ACTUAL answer to the question............

"No. I practiced medicine before we had Medicaid, in the early 1960s, when I got out of medical school. I practiced at Santa Rosa Hospital in San Antonio, and the churches took care of them. We never turned anybody away from the hospitals," said Paul to additional applause.

MSNBC's reporting of the 'screams YES!" by the "Tea Party crowd"......"several voices in the audience cried out, "Yes!"


I was wondering how Mr. Robert Sobel of the Orlando Liberal Examiner was able to determine that the people screaming "yes" were Tea Party members. Perhaps he has a special insight.

My guess would be that since it was a "Tea Party" sponsored debate..that the crowd was a "Tea Party" crowd.

The crowd was an interesting dynamic in this one for sure. Booed RP hard on the 9/11 answer...Booed Perry on In-state Tuition for illegals and HPV vaccines for girls...

I think the best answer of the night was from Newt...after all the governors argued over who created more jobs, he talks aobut the jobs created while he was in Senate, but then said something like, "But, we didn't create those jobs, the American people did"...he hit a homer with that one, and should probably echo it everytime one of the governor's claimed to create jobs.

According to the crowd and media...you'd think Perry got beat up pretty hard...and he probably did amongst the Tea Party...but he actually came across as much more moderate than previously reported, which would do him well in the General Election I think. Unfortunately, their is a rather large faction in the Republican Party that have no interest in their candidate being anything other than hard right.

No doubt they were Communist infiltrators.

Since when does the sponsor determine the crowd? Unless you are saying that it wasn't open to the general public? I would venture to guess that most of the crowds contain a mix of all political affiliations (possibly even a nefarious communist infiltrator or two)...

An assumption that a reporter should identify as such.

When Newt was in the House.

But that isn't the unsupported assumption the 'journalist' made. He made a completely different one.

Aside from that did you miss the main point of my post ?

Once again, the OP sucks ppl in by naming the thread what he WISHES the article actually said....

[67Irralphaisa]

I think it's deplorable that the audience would even stoop to such a reaction. This is a political debate, not Jerry Springer!

I think socialized medicine is a good thing. We being in the military have had socialized medicine for as long as we're active duty, and I remember when it was the same for all dependents. I would much rather we spend our money on that instead of 3 stupid wars and foreign aid on countries who hate us.

Uhh... the name of the thread is the name of the article in all cases.

Not to detract from your post, but Gingrich was never a Senator.

Yes, when he was Speaker of the House, I meant...good catch.

[Longwow]

Since when does the sponsor determine the crowd?

Pretty much always.

Unless you are saying that it wasn't open to the general public? I would think not. Do you think they wanted a bunch of lefties shouting down their candidates?

I would venture to guess that most of the crowds contain a mix of all political affiliations (possibly even a nefarious communist infiltrator or two)... I would bet $1 IC, that the crowd is somehow screened/selected.

Sorry, I forgot my /sarcasm tags.

Aside from that did you miss the main point of my post ? No, I got it. He apparently believes a church is going to jump in and foot the bill for any medical procedure that pops up, and a trip to the emergency room is a surefire cure for any medical condition.

I would be inclined to say he is a moron for thinking that. But he's a doctor and knows better - so I'll go with "liar".

Or plants from the left like the racist signs at Tea party rallies...............

Yeah, those teabaggers don't seem to mind those signs being in their crowd, do they? I don't see the teabaggers running them away, or chasting them in any way. The people with those signs... appear to be VERY welcome in the teabagger crowd...

I doubt it. Afterall, I'm behind enemy lines right now... I'm on conservative turf.

Congressman Paul was saying how Medical Care was handled in the Past, and how much it was changed with the introduction of Medicare and Mega Money being dumped into the system causing health care costs to rise. In other words, Government Caused the Problems in our Health Care System, not Private Enterprise.

That's utter bullocks. We let the insurance providers and pharmaceutical companies charge whatever the hell they want - and its somehow the government's fault? In a sense you're right - it is the government's fault... they should have reigned in these greedy little bastards decades ago. But in actuality its our fault as the voters. We let these corporations run rough-shod over us all day and we refuse to fix the system like everybody else - because we've been brainwashed to be scared of "the spread of socialism".

Question is, how do fix our Medical System? Copy/Paste the Medical System from France, Germany, Canada, or pretty much any other industrialized nation in the world.
