New Mitt Romney “illegal immigration” ad:

Announcer: “Illegal immigration. We need smart, tough solutions, not just talk. What will it take to fix it? Technology, new ideas, guts, values, Mitt Romney. He said no to driver’s licenses for illegals, no to in’state tuition, fought for English in the classroom. The only candidate with a proven record of fixing the big problems. From day one, Mitt Romney will do what he does best - take charge, demand results, no excuses.”

Romney: “I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message.”

Values?

I love how republicans throw that word around. Like they retain sole-ownership of it or something. The values-party, my ass!

A partial list of republican values:

• August 2, 2007: Bush administration senior adviser Karl Rove disregards a Congressional subpoena and refuses to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee
• August 6, 2007: Investigation called for after House Republican Leader John Boehner leaked classified information regarding a secret court ruling over warrantless wiretapping
• August 8, 2007: Republican Senator Larry Craig pleads guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct following his June 11 arrest
• August 9, 2007: Major Republican donor Alan Fabian is charged with 23 counts of bankruptcy fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and perjury
• August 15, 2007: Republican state House candidate Angelo Cappelli is arrested for perjury and grand theft
• August 22, 2007: Republican political consultant Roger Stone resigns his role with the New York state Senate Republicans after reports surfaced that he made a “threatening, obscenity-laced” phone call to the 83-year-old father of Governor Eliot Spitzer
• August 27, 2007: Story breaks that Republican Senator Larry Craig was arrested and pled guilty - he had not publicly disclosed the events to that point

Again, this was only a partial list. There’s plenty more HERE.

If this is what you consider “values”, then you can keep your damn values!

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.
