America has a long history of rejecting rigid and inflexible ideologists. Today the good people of South Carolina continued this tradition by putting Ron Paul where he belongs: in last place.
America rejects the rigid ideology of Ron Paul

No, it's because republican voters are a touch dumber than elsewhere.
I am not a fan of half of Ron Pauls stances, but he is honest. All the other candidates are LIARS who wish for nothing more than to continue to corporate oligarchy status quo.

So the slimiest most self serving congressman that ever lived was a better choice? Newt sets new standards for political scum.

Yes.
Anything is a better choice than an ideologist. Ideological government ALWAYS leads to TYRANNY.
Hitler, Mao, Marx, and so on were ALL ideologists with ideas that promised to bring peace and prosperity, following a period of "restructuring."
I would rather have a highly flawed, self-serving politician than an ideologist who's only loyalty lies in their prefabricated ideas, no matter how neat-o they sound.

The Paulbots were already screaming "let them die", even in the early, apparently benevolent stages of this ideological movement.
Ideologists are dangerous people, especially when they value their ideas more than human life.

I got news for anyone, that thinks that still wont be the case.
Under Obama care, there will be a large portion of the population that make too much they don't get free Obama care, but yet can't afford it either. Then to insult injury, they will be fined at the end of the year, for failing to pay the Corporate Regime Ministry their extortion fees.
This class of people still wont be insured, they will be fined though.
The Churches did once proivide a lot of health services. And they got money from the Government to do so. The Church did a far better job of using what ever money various Government agencies gave them, and the resources from other donations, than the Government can or has.
Clinton put a stop to the Churches involvement in Hospitals in this country and opened up the route to Memorial Hospital owning a Monopoly on any health care service in 90% of towns in the Country.
Over night stitches went from a $300 problem to a $10,000.00 con job.
And people like you want to vilify the Church, Satin ain't got shit on the EVIL the Democrats and the Clinton are capable of creating.
Providing healthcare to Sr. Citizens, they turning around and squeezing money out of them for copays, when they are on a fixed income, counting every penny they have. Not eating the last 3 days of the month until the next check comes.
Some evil shit I tell ya, but yeah, Villify the only guy speaking the truth in the campaign.
We would be far better off with no system in place than the system that is in place now, or even the system that has been in place post Clinton. We need to remove the Government 100% from healthcare for now anyway. At least as a scientific experiment.
My guess is, the investor value goes away, so profit motifs drop drastically. Hospitals become private entities. Then Doctors and hospitals, have to compete with each other, and the need for insurance will become obsolete.

Do they need to scream that? I mean action is louder than words.
And it's not 200 and something a month as that dumb ass King proposed, it's more like $1400 a month. But like every thing else about Obamacare it's shrouded in half truths and lies.

“That's what freedom is all about: taking your own risks.,” Paul said, repeating the standard libertarian view as some in the audience cheered.
“But congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die,” Blitzer asked.
“Yeah,” came the shout from the audience. That affirmative was repeated at least three times. Paul, who has always had a reputation for being a charitable man, disagreed with the idea that sick people should die, but insisted that the answer to the healthcare problem was not a large government.

The people cheering death in the audience are the same people that will push you into the gas chamber as part of their ideological "restructuring."
Ideology is great in an academic setting, it leads to tyranny in a government.

It's coming you are right.
What some Nomographs don't understand is that there is nothing going that is going to stop the increases in insurance costs when the industry finally lobbies the right people. But we sure are all forced to buy their product.
Seems like a ticking time bomb if you ask me.

The standard libertarian view is that the growing wealth of a free market economy is the best approach for helping all members of that economic system. When we add crony capitalisic BS to the healthcare industry, as we do in the US, people suffer the inevitable higer prices and lower standard of care than via the free-market approach. As Milton Friedman said, "So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system."
At least attack the stance rather than make up nonsense about libertarians wanting others to die. Some douche screaming idiocy from the crowd doesnt reflect on Ron Paul.
Nomograph says
More lies. I can't tell if you are just trying to be provoking, or if you actually believe the cartoonish Dr. Evil image of Ron Paul you've fabricated. Go deal with your paranoia issue. When you stop living your life in fear, come back and maybe we'll have a grown-up conversation about political schools of thought.

Quick question. Has it ever existed?
If we're talking about myths, we may as well be talking about flying unicorns.
