[QUOTE=Bobie;34527563]People have no problem paying $900 for an iPad,” the candidate explained. “But paying $900 for a drug they have a problem with — it keeps you alive. Why? Because you’ve been conditioned to think health care is something you can get without having to pay for it.” what about every nation that has free health care on the planet lol and what about those incentives for healthcare companies santorum [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Health_care_cost_rise.svg/800px-Health_care_cost_rise.svg.png[/img] oh yeah, whoops. forgot that your beloved country is charged double than most (one clusterfuck of an incentive)[/QUOTE] Why is Austria in there :tinfoil:
So paying for an iPad, which you pay for once, is the same as paying a million a year?
It's like he is trying to sound as controversial and stupid as possible.
Drugs are expensive you know, but you don't have to be an ass about it.
An iPad is a one-time expense (or once every few years, if you want to stay recent). How the hell does that even compare to a million dollars? Saying something like this isn't just poor PR or for some political reason, it's showing yourself to be a horrible, horrible human being.
lets ignore the fact that she doesnt even make 1 million a year gj santorum a real paragon of intelligence and critical thinking skills
This excerpt from his book I have to read...is written like it was by a 3rd grader. He cites general claims as sources ("studies have shown") but no details like who did the studies, what year, etc. He does do it right once, but only for a person who the book says was appointed by Bush. The paragraphs are short and simple, and words like "good" "bad" and "important" are the best of his vocabulary.
how can anyone consider this moron a viable candidate? i certainly dont want a man who spews blatantly retarded statements like this at the head of our nation.
[QUOTE=Last or First;34528327]Yes, he does. No, he doesn't care. Wait, when the fuck did he do that[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.salon.com/2006/10/17/santorum_24/[/url]
[QUOTE=zzaacckk;34527581]I know I am going to get rated dumb for saying this but he does have a point, although he dosen't have to be so blunt about it and there are possible changes for it. Yes he is an asshole, but in our economy you should have to pay for things, drugs can be expensive to create, I personally think the government should pay for them to be made then give low drug costs to the users, but thats not gonna happen.[/QUOTE] Oh? You should have to pay for everything? What about when your house is robbed - should you have to pay for the police to come? What about when your house is on fire - should the fire service wait until you have sent them a cheque before they save you? I have to say, this is one thing I love about being British - the knowledge that I can be ill without having to worry about how much it will cost me.

If someone needs drugs, or any medial treatment for that matter, to save their life or even improve it, (provided they didn't bring it upon themselves) they shouldn't be denied treatment or forced to go into massive debit to get it.
Ok he just said in his book that children living with unwed parents are more likely to die "from an injury" (yes he said it that awkwardly) then if the same 2 parents had marriage certificates. Why does my class make me read this? [editline]3rd February 2012[/editline] Ok he just said kids living in households with a stepparent in it are at "1.5 to 2.5 times the risk of using illegal drugs" All according "to a study" yep just some random study.

Fuck you Santorum and get assfucked you little shithead. Sorry, had to say it.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;34528517][url]http://www.salon.com/2006/10/17/santorum_24/[/url][/QUOTE] I thought it was going to be an offensive "This war is absolute good vs absolute evil" or something like that. But what he said... I don't even [I]know[/I] what he said, really. It makes no sense at all. Then again, Santorum.
Ok Santorum just implied the Earth is 4000 years old :downs: [editline]3rd February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Ogopogo;34528583]Out of curiosity what does your teacher think of him?[/QUOTE] Well the professor seems fair, he is using this as a subject to write an argumentative essay on. I assume most people would disagree with Santorum. I doubt he likes Santorum.
What the fuck That's literally the worst possible thing he could have said
[QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;34528133]if you were fatally ill you'd be dead[/QUOTE] Touché. But the point is, if I'm really sick, I can get free healthcare. The lovely word here is "free"
He is such a piece of shit.
-facepalm- Oh god damnit, will someone just deport him already? Or prefferably kick his ass all the way to space?
Spoken like a true(and rich) asshole with blind eyes to the masses of the people.
Fuck you Santorum, and fuck anyone who votes for him.
Every single time he talks he makes me physically sick. Santorum is a fucking abomination
More and more I believe he's a conspiracy by the Obama administration, together with Rick Perry, so that Obama gets selected again.
I hope he fucks off out of this state and never comes back
Why doesn't america just make their own NHS already?
How does this man sleep at night?
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;34529330]How does this man sleep at night?[/QUOTE] I'd assume in a bed. Maybe he even uses a pillow!
