It’s about sick children of poor families. And the majority of the public supports expanding this program. Yet the republicans are clearly still in the race for president. If for nothing else this administration has done in it’s seven years in power, what kind of sick, twisted mind could vote for a party that spends billions upon billions in this illegal, immoral war, but tell it’s sick children no?

How did we get here? Stupidity and ignorance. We have no one to blame but ourselves. They talk about Bush’s and Congress’s low polling numbers. What about ours? Where do we, the American populace, poll out at? I guaran-damn-tee it’s not in the double-digits!

Part of the process? Leaving congress out of your plans is acceptable though, right? Of course it is! Can’t stomp the guts out of the Constitution if they were allowed to have any true say in it. You are one smug bastard, sir.

Overriding Child Health Veto Unlikely

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush, anticipating that his veto of a $35 billion spending increase for children’s insurance will stand, has assigned three top advisers to try to negotiate a new deal with Congress.

Democrats appeared about 15 votes short in the House heading into Thursday’s attempt to override Bush’s veto of their $35 billion spending increase for the program.

The president said his veto gives him a chance to weigh in on the future of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.

“Sometimes the legislative branch wants to go on without the president, pass pieces of legislation and the president can then use the veto to make sure he’s a part of the process,” Bush said.
