No Republican presidential candidate has actually uttered those words in front of a camera.
But the know-nothing, uninformed, mindless zombies who regularly vote for them are a different story. It’s become fashionable in the media to call these people “low-information” voters. I call them ghouls. I call them bloodthirsty creatures who really want people like us to “die, die, die.”
Remember that debate night when some “low-information” voter shouted out “Let him die” when Wolf Blitzer asked about a man who couldn’t afford health insurance. What was the response of the Republican candidates on stage? Did any one of them speak up and say that’s wrong? Did any one of these "Christians" say that’s not Christian? Did any one of them say anything at all? – Nope.
I’ve become convinced that the unspoken motto of the Republican Party is “Die, Die, Die.” Virtually every position they take on any issue leads to the end of the road for many Americans. I’m convinced that their motto applies, not only to us Democrats, but to the morons who vote Republican on a regular basis, but who also want “handouts” like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, a minimum wage, etc.
So let’s stop talking about non-existent, bullshit “Death Panels.” Instead, let’s talk of the party of death – The Republican Party.

2. That "Death Panels" thing is a good catch. |

Excellent point and juxtaposition.

As they see it only the wealthy and privileged deserve to enjoy all life has to offer.
The lower classes exist only to serve them. When they grow old or too sick to work then they have outlived their usefulness and are not worth keeping alive.

They want to be able to pick & choose who lives or dies.

13. Somewhere deep down they can't help but realize that they, too, must |

die some day, like everybody else.

14. Yeah, but they're going to be with Jesus. The peasants? They're going to hell. |

You can't pass a law against self-righteousness. But you can sure recognize it for what it is and condemn it -- and maybe even want to spit on it.

7. I didn't see that program. Did Wolff Blitzer say anything to that "Let him die?" |

8. yes, he asked Ron Paul what he thought of that shout out; did he think let him die was right? |
|
Ron Paul said, "no it's..." and the stage exploded into noise and claptrap. Everybody talking at once. Never did hear what Paul might have meant. Nice moderatin, there Blitzer!

12. You are right. The Republican Party is the party of death. 47,000 |
|
people die per year in the USA because they can't get medical care. This has been going on for years. Recently, because of the Health Care Reform (which the Repubs. opposed and cut down in size), things are beginning to change for the better.
