Reportedly Rick Perry was 'Taken Aback' by audience cheering...

[TalkingDog]

... suggesting society should let an uninsured patient die.

Really? Really, Rick? You didn't realize you and your buddies had signed on with a bunch of vile, disgusting jackals that only care about their own gain? People who would rather let someone die than give up one penny in taxes. Aren't they the embodiment of Christ-like behavior, of selfless generosity?

We are watching all of you, you heartless fuckers. And we will not let anyone forget that moment. We will drag it out at every opportunity and smother your smarmy ass with it.

1. I sincerely doubt that.

It probably gave him a chubby.

5. Exactly..

since Governor Goodhair's esteemed predecessor passed & signed a death-panel law.

[rurallib]

7. A quite delayed reaction I would say - no doubt spurred by some polling

[Strelnikov_]

12. Yep, definite case of poll induced flaccidity n/t

2. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

No offense to dogs.

3. It looked to me like he was nodding (nt)

11. bobblehead

[Mz Pip]

4. He didn't say anything

So he is "taken aback" after the fact when it becomes pretty clear that the audience reaction came across as really sick and twisted.

Too little too late. IMHO.

6. Texas already has the uninsured euthanasia law. Doctors can

decide on your right to live based on your ability to pay.

9. Death Panels in Texas? Why doesn't this surprise me?

n/t

10. Futile Care Law.

It was Bush's baby. Another surprise, eh?

[Flubadubya]

8. Not the least bit concerned about killing a possible innocent...

under the death penalty in Texas... he even said so. Then why does that little issue about letting someone die because they didn't get health insurance bother him?

Bah! The man's full of bull manure! :puke:

[exboyfil]

13. I can see the add now

Rick Perry's America. Showing a person being wheeled out of a hospital and placed on the ground with the cheering in the background and a cutaway to Rick Perry.

A true gift.

[Solomon]

14. Aw he's just embarassed that they all got

tainted with that brush.

[spanone]

15. when you kiss the ass of the devil what do you expect rick?

[awoke_in_2003]

16. he is only taken aback...

because more people in the audience didn't say it.

[RoccoR5955]

17. Perry is full of bovine fecal matter.

Yeah right... He's taken aback by people who die because they don't have health insurance, yet he's not taken aback when an innocent person has to get the death penalty. What a load!
