    That's the solution Ron Paul offered up? Hope for some charity?

    Ron Paul, you so crazy sometimes.

    It gets worse. That "charity" care that the GOP morons think hospitals just hand out of the goodness of their hearts actually gets reimbursed back to them through tax dollars via the DSH and Medicare fund.

    Mitch McConnell Doesn’t Have ‘Any Particular Reaction’ To Tea Party Audience Cheering For Death

    Rather than take a moment to condemn GOP debate audiences that cheered for executions and to leave a man to die, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he didn’t have “any particular reaction.” When host David Gregory asked McConnell on Meet The Press if the cheers troubled him as a Republican, McConnell deferred, saying there would be lots of debates and audience reactions during the campaign.

    As Gregory explained, Republicans say they are the “party of life,” but many aren’t matching their rhetoric to their ideals.

    First, audience members cheered at the GOP debate in California when moderator Brian Williams brought up Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s death penalty execution record, which at the time was 234. Then, the crowd at the most recent GOP debate in Florida cheered when Wolf Blitzer asked candidate Rep. Ron Paul (TX) if he thought society should allow a man to die if he had no health insurance but suddenly became needed intensive treatment, with some cheering to “let him die.” (A fictional scenario which, it turns out, mirrors the life and tragic death of Paul’s 2008 campaign strategist.)

    I have no reaction to his non-reaction. Jumbled as this sounds about a Senator, McConnell doesn't speak for private citizens. I don't know who gets into debates: volunteers, bigger donors? Maybe a little more zealous and a little less tactful than moderate voters or elected officials.

    Sidebar that NBC appears to have the best political news duo on the planet right now.

    And that is why a tea party candidate will not win in 2012.
