The moral degenerates known as Republicans continue their devolution on a daily basis. They are transitioning from the merely selfish-and-uncompassionate party into the evil party. Now Arizona Republicans are willing to force their lower-income fellow citizens to DIE rather than do anything to shore up necessary health-care services in their state.
This is another post in a continuing series of examples of GOP moral degeneracy.
The following news item from USA Today points up another outrageous Republican anti-social act against the most vulnerable, who they no doubt consider dispensible:
Arizona Republicans are now willing to kill their own citizens for the sake of cost-cutting:
PHOENIX — A liver-disease patient missed his opportunity for an organ transplant Tuesday, becoming the most dire example yet of an Arizonan denied life-saving medical care because of budget cuts to the state's health-care system for the poor.
Francisco Felix, 32, of Laveen, Ariz., was in the hospital ready to receive a liver that was donated to him late Monday night. But the liver went to another recipient Tuesday morning because he couldn't find $200,000 overnight to pay for the liver transplant, one of seven kinds of transplant surgery the state stopped covering Oct. 1.
Keith Olbermann quoted GOP Governor Jan Brewer's morally bankrupt defense of herself and her GOP homunculi in the Arizona legislature, who passed the law that defunds Arizona's benefits for low-income Arizonans, and why she won't call a special legislative session to fix the law:
Governor Brewer refuses to call special session. Quoting her, we have a responsibility as policymakers to make hard decisions, and those decisions have to be made for the citizens of Arizona, tough decisions, not an easy job for the legislature or me. Governor Brewer has, in fact, blamed Obama health care reform even though her budget took effect before Obamacare did. And republicans tried to pass the same budget cuts last clear, too. She's refused to call that special session unless someone can suggest how to cover the program's total $1 billion shortfall. Arizona democrats, meanwhile, have suggested she use federal stimulus money to fill the transplant gap. Brewer has refused even though she was willing to use $1.7 billion in stimulus money just last year to repair the roof of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

There is no "hard decision" here. You cut anything else out of the budget rather than let people die. End of story.
Republicans have become so spoiled, so sure of their own superiority, that they don't have any moral compass left. They are degenerates whose rotten souls have to be paraded in public so that they can be shamed into crawling into the shadows where they belong.
When will elected Democrats get the guts to call out these subhuman golems? Get it through your heads, Democrats: THEY ARE NOT DECENT PEOPLE; YOU CANNOT TREAT THEM LIKE DECENT PEOPLE; YOU MUST BEAT THEM INTO THE BUSHES WHERE THEY WILL HAVE TO REMAIN, AFRAID TO REVEAL THEIR WARPED CHARACTERS IN DECENT SOCIETY.
ALWAYS CALL THEM OUT FOR THE MORAL DEGENERATES THEY ARE!
