I don't believe that anyone could be stupid or ignorant enough to believe that claim.

I don't believe that anyone could be stupid or ignorant enough to believe that claim.

Last night he won the Repubican primaries in three states. It seems a whole lot of people were stupid enough and ignorant enough to believe his outlandish claims. That says something about the lack of information among Republican voters.

You're sadistic religious mother ****ers might refuse to grant mercy but our sadistic religious mother ****ers simply make up complete bullshit so that ignorant worthless piece of **** Republican voters without health care can continue voting for them and voting against politicians who would actually get them decent health care. "But, but, but... Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, and Rick Santorum all said the evil communist socialist doctors just want to MURDER grand-dad!!!!1111!!!!ONE!!1"

We need to nationalize all education in this country because it's absolutely ****ing obvious that decentralizing it into 50 different states (most of which decentralize it to the county or city level) is resulting in drooling idiots. I mean absolutely ****ing drooling idiots and worse the GOP loves that they're so stupid because their politics REQUIRE most people to be ****ing completely stupid.

[ElisasAUG]

Sorry to hear it, man.

[MormefWrarebe]

Thanks.

Elok, I am sorry for your loss.

How the selection works I don't know. The thing is, they all 3 agreed to perform the euthanasia. But then the management of the hospital intervened and had one of the doctors reverse the desicion.

The problem is most of us really don't want the Party's annointed, and are unwilling to to through McCain again, so we WILL go through EVERY other candidate until none are left or the Party gets the message.

Oh, and an old style "brokered convention" by the Party to do an end run around this = me voting for Obama.

[andreas]

If Romney wins via the primaries, I will vote for him. The idea of brokering to avoid another candidate getting the nod is outrageous.

[ImapFidaarram]

Could the Netherlands sue Santorum for defamation of character?

Does euthanasia account for 10% of all deaths in the Netheralnds?

[sniskelsowwef]

Well Santorum probably doesn't know the difference between 2 and 10 in Dutch.

[Obenuearema]

In Belgium, 4 out of 10 deaths are determined by a medical decision. This means that rather they are directed by doctors rather than by natural causes. Of course, this includes more than just voluntary euthanasia.

[Yinekol]

They don't vote though. So I doubt he cares.

[GfBTWMmV]

You vote, and you still don't care though.

What made you think I was planning on voting for him in the primary to begin with?

[EbrsaRynleot]

So up to 40% of the deaths in Belgium are from doctors deliberately killing patients without their permission?

Involuntary euthanasia is illegal in the Netherlands. Active non voluntary euthanasia which is different from what Santorum was referring to however is legal under under an agreement between physicians and district attorneys that was ratified by the Dutch National Association of Pediatricians. I would be interested in any stats on its use however.

[wrewsTear]

Yes. Though it seems to be mainly performed on infants.

[Immarsecice]

yeah its not like the american public will care if they are beeing lied to.

By and large liberals are snotty know it alls and tend to want positions based on facts; they gleefully love to show off their knowledge by correcting even their own side. To compare the Republican base loves lies as long as they're comforting lies which reinforce what they already think. Is this always the case? No, but it's usually the case and that's why you don't have the Democratic equivalent of the Republican lies about supposed death panels, Obama being a secret muslim terrorist sleeper agent, Obama being a supposed illegal alien, supposedly "strangling domestic energy production" (fact oil production is at a record high and there are four times as many drilling rigs in the country today as when Obama took office), that "government spending has never created a single job", that the Dutch government does mass killings of old people, or that white people are the real victims of racial discrimination.

Lying, even obvious lies, is just completely embedded with the modern American right wing's self identity.

[naturaherbal]

...and what should the Belgian people do?

[fount_pirat]

I make that... 2.3%

Our 2.3% is in metrics, I guess Santorum's 10% is imperial...
