You're better than I am Stephanie because after the cheering over let someone die remark I was done.
If you offer someone help and they refuse the offer, that's one thing but simply walking away from a dying person because they made a stupid choice is barbaric and the audience proved just how barbaric people can be. The night people cheered Perry for executing over 200 people [[which several turned out to may have been innocent after the fact) took my breath away but this was beyond the pale.
This is why I believe libertarianism only works in theory, in practice we don't have the type of culture where everyone looks out for everyone else or truly gives a sht beyond their own circle. ...and even then only for a limited amount of time. Hell, Ron Paul's own supporters will jump all over you and call you every negative diatribe imaginable IF YOU CHOOSE to exercise your LIBERTY and have an opinion or thought that's different from theirs.
In our society a libertarian philosophy would encourage cliques and a survival of the fittest/tribal mentality. You can't erase that type of thinking in 4 years and anyone who thinks they can is naive or simply scamming people.
Huntsman,no longer impresses me and seems to be grasping at straws and looking desperate, Cain is ridiculously clueless, Newt does nothing but whine, Bachmann and Santorum, tried to be relevant but weren't and the two so call front runners just make me want to gag. Neither one would know a principle if it slapped them in the face and even then, they would simply flip flop to an opposite principle.
