Well I was going to steer the blog towards Palin and Bachman for the election, but they are basically dead candidacies. While Perry, and Gingrich are both scary, they are going to cannibalize each others votes as they appeal to different nutjobs.

Column: The truth behind the ‘let him die’ nonsense – USATODAY.com.

So I read this article at the USA Today web site and the first thing I thought of was BS.  This Katrina Trinko was acting as an apologist for the candidates being honest about their right wing asshole attitudes.  She states there were 2-3 people cheering in the audience about letting the patient die, but how would she know? She wasn’t there obviously or she would know if it was 2 or 3.

Next, the answers from the candidates were asshole-ish (my new word).  So neighbors, families, communities, and churches are going to pay off HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of debt piled up by sick people they supposedly care about?  That would never happen voluntarily, EVER. How much do you think a neighborhood car wash brings in? $100-$200 maybe.  Not really a dent when a $400,000 hospital bill comes due.

On the other hand, we have a name for that, INSURANCE.  When everyone pitches in, it’s a tax (I know, I hate the word too, but it’s a necessary evil) that pays for the insurance.  It has to be mandatory or it won’t work.  And a one-payer system would work best but it will never happen, so that has to be shelved.  The half-assed plan that did pass needs a lot of work thanks to loopholes meant to make companies like McDonalds happy.

So getting back to that $400,000 unpaid hospital bill.  Who pays for that?  You do, higher hospital bills, insurance costs, doctor bills, etc.  You want to know why it costs $300 to see your doctor when you have a migraine?  Just think of those thousands of unpaid $400,000 bills.  If you ask why I am using $400,000 as an example, one reason.  Ron Paul’s (extremely effective) former campaign manager died of pneumonia, without insurance, and left $400,000 in unpaid medical bills, leaving his family destitute.

So Bachman only believes in the bible and that it’s supposed to be the guiding principles in our (non)Christian country. Ok, so we need to wipe all the laws off the books. Then we need to create laws that only reinforce the ten commandments. Then we bring back stoning and revoke women’s rights. It means instant justice, Palin would be stoned for inciting someone to kill (Loughner). No appeals, they would both be stoned. Pedophilia is allowed, as is rape. And the grand consequence, Christian religions are banned as promoting false idols. Since all those cults all have different beliefs on “god’s” word, they are all wrong except one, but you can’t determine which it is. So we have civil war that causes the “thou shall not kill” to be violated or ban Christianity.

Hallelujah
