GOP Madness, Quarterfinals, Match 4

Time to pick the last of the final four semifinalists! The bracket is here. We have the GOP debate audience that booed the gay soldier versus Rick Santorum's preaching against sex for pleasure. Today, you decide who gets to face off against Mitt Romney's Etch-a-Sketch.

1. MITT ROMNEY THINKS CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE, MY FRIENDS

Original writeup here.
Corporations are people, my friend... of course they are. Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to the people. Where do you think it goes? Whose pockets? Whose pockets? People's pockets. Human beings my friend.
And by "people," Romney means this ...
Romney flashing cash with Bain partners ... though I doubt the guy in the middle qualifies as a "human being."

2. 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)

What, you don't think it's hilarious when people die? Liberal.
