What book is that the Communist Manifesto?

[gidget7]

I call BS!! Liberal cities are by and large the problem, NOT conservatism. This book is a joke!

[Abathar]

I see they don't take into account the high number of deaths in the blue states due to infanticide at the abortion mills. Funny how they don't seem to mention those numbers...

[Always Right]

You rate better in this survey if you slaughter more of them before birth.

[2banana]

Does "children" account for those on the womb or those just lucky enough to be born...as blue states are a killing field for children...

[meg88]

Abortion rates were not included in this study I am sure!

[Calpernia]

Funny how the states with the "the best outcomes for children today" have the most phantom voters that keep them blue.

A week hasn't been going by in Boston where a 13 or 14 year old kid is getting shot.

[Always Right]

Further, more people are uninsured, real wages are declining, prisons are overflowing

Apparently locking up more felons is a bad thing according to this unbiased survey. And how does some young single adult being uninsured hurt children? This issue is really are kids getting the medical attention they need, not that some liberal socialist agenda has been implemented. What this survey really shows is that liberal states have implemented more liberal policies, not that children are actually better or worse off.

I suppose those of us in the red states are just too dumb and ignorant to know we need way more government in our lives. I want to thank the liberal, elitist know-it-all for opening his mealy mouth to tell us.

""Lest anyone be misled, the conservative attack on federal spending for children is strictly ideological," he said."

Of course, the ideology being that the Federal government has no authority to take according to ability and give according to need. In addition, I don't believe the book's thesis one bit.

[groanup]

...the 10 worst are all red states: Wyoming, Georgia,...

Finally, I have an excuse.

[caseinpoint]

Agreed. My guess is that family income and daycare were rated absolute positives in the study as opposed to lower income and at-home mothers, which were probably considered absolute negatives.

[L98Fiero]

"Children in the bottom 10 states were almost twice as likely to lack health insurance as children in the top 10, he said."

BS, indeed. Lots of these children have free medical care via the federal government.

More skewed crap to rank on traditional values.

[andy58-in-nh]

Spending on children is the responsibility of the family, not the government.

[MadLibDisease]

Placemark

[gidget7]

You got that right! Only ones who lack health care don't lack it at all since they get it free, as they are LA types, on the government dole, or illegals.

[NeoCaveman]

Thanks in large part to the erosion of real federal spending

IF ONLY.

You know, when ever I read liberal complainst I usually respond with "if only it was true"

[gidget7]

Exactly right! I am constantly amazed, even though I shouldn't be, how low these liberals will sink in order to transfer their own inadequacies onto conservative Americans.

If we ever question what they are up to, we need only listen to what they are blaming on conservatives. And fact is, conservatives don't want the government freebies!
