Santorum being vile about the NHS (comes with a health warning!)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/9671217.stm

And even Romney, who's seen as slightly saner than the others, complained that Obama was turning America into a 'Europaean welfare state', as though that's a bad thing.

Ugh just ugh.

...I think you can take most things that Santorum says on just about any subject to be vile. I think he may well be the worst loony in the GOP race, quite a feat when you consider he's been up against Perry, Bachman and Ron Paul.

We only WISH we could be like a "European Welfare State." We are a rich sociopaths' welfare state. If you're GE or Exxon Mobile or WalMart you get welfare.

Just a regular Jenny or Joe? DIE!

The good news is, every time they make this complaint, more Americans are saying, "Hmmm...what's wrong with that?"
