Wait, are you guys actually trying to convince me that the crowd at the Tea Party Debate, hosted and run by the Tea Party, ISN'T a group of Tea Partier's?

Really?!? Pah-leeze.
They never are the tea party. Just plants and what ever. Never tea party members at tea party events.
Ron Paul knows that, again, he did not mean it the way you took it...you took his words way out of context....
He was telling a story...lets see you get up on a soap box and have many questions thrown at you, and see if you come out smelling like a rose...your probably going to say something out of nervousness, that will be taken out of context....in other words, someone is not going to understand the meaning of your words...he is a human being, just like you...and all he was saying was..."back in my day, the church contributed and helped"....he didn't mean, that's how it should be done today....
Well, well, well. . . For people who make a huge deal out of every gaffe ever uttered by a Democratic pol (57 states, anyone?) you guys are uncharacteristically forgiving of Ron Paul.
I am not running for pres.

I saw it, but I don't get my facts from movies made for entertainment starring cocaine addicts.

As a moderate conservative, if the Republican party continues to panders to these extremist hypocrites (what would you do if it was YOUR son who chose not to buy health insurance? would you be cheering his death then?), I hope the Democrats and everyone who is running against a Tea Party favorite shows that clip of the crowd cheering as many times as they can so the Republican party will finally wake up and distance themselves from these dangerous, hate-filled, fools.
I agree with the first paragraph completely. I am not a moderate conservative; I'm more of a moderate Democrat, but this Republican Party is not my father's Republican Party.
What was really eye-opening was how the crowd turned against Ron Paul when he told them that the reason Al-quada attacked us was due to our bases in Saudi and our relentless support of Isreal. This was clearly not a truth they wanted to hear, since it conflicted with the talking-points spoon fed them by Beck, Rush, and the others making big bucks of their ignorance and need to hate.
I actually felt sorry for Ron Paul, whom I really like. He had a look on his face that said, "I can't believe I helped to create this movement, look what uncontrollable monsters they've become."

Yeah I seen that too. They really beat up Paul. Their supposed founder as I keep hearing.
Why not ask the individuals who do not insure themselves if they would let themselves die?
Why am I the bad guy?
As Ron Paul stated, freedom means making choices for yourself.
My life and the lives of my family are important enough for me to insure them.
Why am I expected to insure others as well?
I am not disagreeing with the idea, I am just taking issue with the blood thirsty response from the Tea Party crowd in attendance. I wonder how they would feel if their own child, when they turn 30, made the same decision and then contracted a fatal illness that could be cured if only they could afford the treatment? A person's death diminishes as all, a person who finds themselves in this kind of situation deserves our compassion, or at least our pity. Not our cheering for his death as if it were well-deserved. This action by the crowd at the debate showed the Tea Party is turning into a blood thirsty and decidedly unChristian mob.
