nope, but you specifically noted Libs/conservatives in your post!
Do you believe the Doctor broke his oath or not? Just want that to be clear before we continue this debate....
I only noted "libs/conservatvies" because Rikules indicated that ALL conservatives would whine about the situation, which I personally believe to be an incorrect statement.
I think the question as to whether or not he broke his oath is an opinion that can be left open for discussion.
First, we have to know the facts. Did he refuse service to anyone who came to him? By that I mean, if a person who voted for Obama came in and identified himself as a supporter of Obama, did he refuse service?
Before I can answer your question, I have to know the answer to that. Because simply posting a sign saying that Obama voters should go elsewhere is not in my opinion a violation of his oath. If he turned such people away, then I might be able to agree with you.

first and foremost,
WE HAVE A SECRET BALLOT in this country....it is NONE of this Doctor's business one way or the other, regarding this kind of information.
second,
did you read the article in full?
third
What do you suppose the purpose of the doctor's sign in his patient lobby door was and how does it relate to the care his patients have been PAYING for??
the article said that one patient complained and one of his patients walked out, i am presuming this is for just the one day the news crew was there....
I don't see where he asked them who they voted for.
I do see where he said that if you voted for Obama you could seek services elsewhere. He left the choice up to them.
What do I suppose the purpose of the sign was for? Um, quite simply a political statement made by a member of this society which as far as I know still relishes the ideals of the Freedom of Speech.
How does it relate to the care he gives his patients? Did you see anywhere in the article that stated that he asked patients who they voted for? I didn't. Therefore, I doubt it affected the care he provided in any way at all.
