CHEERING DEATH


The audience cheered when at the GOP Presidential debate the hypothetical question about a man with no insurance being left to die.  These are the same people who cheered about the executions in Texas.  These people are sick.  No matter your take on the death penalty or anything else for that matter, to cheer is just plain sick.  This is the Tea Party, or if you like the Koch brothers at work.  For a politician to pander to these people, and the Republicans do, tells you a lot about the difference in the parties.  If they are willing to cheer for that, what do you think they think about the rest of us?  By the rest of us I mean the people who disagree with them.  I hate the analogy about Nazi Germany, but when you have people cheering death, and seeing nothing wrong with it as long as it’s the other person, comparisons are hard not to do.
