Another SchipWreck Ping

That trend should have started a long time ago ... with McCain-Feingold.

It will be very interesting to see which coward RINOs vote to override. Of course, this is just postponing the inevitable....Her Majesty Queen Hillary and her congressional courtiers will pass every socialist piece of crap imaginable in 2009.

[Redgirl]

Could Hillary be plotting to override Bush’s veto? Wasn’t she involved in CHIP? This legislation sure is coming at an opportune time for her.

This issue is there for the GOP to hang the DEMs with.....If only they could find the courage and energy to do so!

Show how DEMs are using "children" in the name of promoting themselves - Every member of the GOP should have such talking points, use them in every interview - Tout how it was the GOP who started this program and has funded it....under the pure notion of assisting low-income families....Then point out how it is DEMs looking to move this to middle income adults...(under the protection of children).

You could hang this one hard on DEMs in very short order....if the GOP would just engage on the issue. Quick talking points you repeat over and over....(don't just say "they?DEMs are playing politics"......BE SPECIFIC! Say they are USING children.

The local news (Seattle) shows the sound clip of president Bush saying “let me tell you why I’m vetoing the bill”...but didn’t play his reason...and they also never mentioned that the “poor children” covered were from families earning $80k per year. Typical liberal deception.

[OESY]

"Since I would have qualified, as a poor child, for support under the State Children's Health
Insurance Program (SCHIPS)--if the president had signed the frickin' bill, I'm hahtbroken.

"But, confidentially, it's a good thing that Willie Sutton isn't around to notice these
health care give-a-way programs we've written. He would have left the banks alone."

For the GOP, it’s best to let a lame duck President take the political heat, rather than Senators and Congressmen who will be up for re-election in 2008.

Therefore, I look forward to more vetoes from President Bush, to protect taxpayers from long-fingered Democrat pickpockets.

[Vinnie]

Someone making $60k/year can certainly provide insurance for their children.

Schip is schit.
