GOP Madness 2012, Round 1, Match 12

Is this really the 12th contest? Only 17 to go before we have a final winner. What did I get myself into?

The bracket thus far is here. Today's winner will face off against Rick Santorum telling Puerto Ricans to speak English if they want to be American.

1. GOP AUDIENCE CHEERS "LET HIM DIE!"

BLITZER: A healthy 30-year-old young man has a good job, makes a good living, but decides, you know what? I'm not going to spend $200 or $300 a month for health insurance because I'm healthy, I don't need it. But something terrible happens, all of a sudden he needs it.

Who's going to pay if he goes into a coma, for example?  Who pays for that?

PAUL: Well, in a society that you accept welfarism and socialism, he expects the government to take care of him.

BLITZER: Well, what do you want?

PAUL: But what he should do is whatever he wants to do, and assume responsibility for himself. My advice to him would have a major medical
policy, but not be forced '

BLITZER: But he doesn't have that. He doesn't have it, and he needs intensive care for six months. Who pays?

PAUL: That's what freedom is all about, taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to prepare and take care of everybody '
(APPLAUSE)

BLITZER: But Congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die?

CROWD: Yes! Yeah! (LAUGHTER)

Ha ha ha, it's so funny when Americans die. Particularly libtards, because good, honest, hard-working Americans couldn't be walking around without health insurance, could they?

2. MITT ROMNEY INSTALLS CAR ELEVATOR IN MANSION

Car elevators Romney SOOOO wants one of these. Mitt did so much to prepare for his 2012 presidential bid. He got rid of his undocumented workers, because all that cheap labor could come back and haunt him. He also sold a bunch of his mansions, because that sort of thing didn't play well for John McCain.

But there was only so much he was willing to sacrifice to his political ambitions. So he set out to quadruple the size of his $12 million California beachside mansion, hiring a lobbyist to navigate through the city planning process. Among his renovations:

At Mitt Romney's proposed California beach house, the cars will have their own separate elevator.
For a campaign that has had so much trouble connecting with voters, such ostentatious displays of wealth further cement the fact that Mitt Romney just isn't like the rest of us.
