Protecting the Most Vulnerable

By Andrew Cline

Published 10/8/2007 12:07:57 AM

Less than a week after President Bush vetoed a $35 billion expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, Congressional Democrats hastily organized another showdown with the White House by passing the Children, Mothers, Orphans, Puppies, Soldiers, Baseball, Country Music, and Beer Protection Act and immediately begging the president to veto it.

"This bill is about protecting the most vulnerable among us," said Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada. "Oh, please, God, let President Bush veto this bill"

Even as they ramped up the political pressure on the president, Democrats were having aides drawing up another bill, tentatively titled the "Porn, Pizza, and Lottery Ticket Distribution Act of 2007."

Andrew Cline is editorial page editor of the New Hampshire Union Leader and editor of the humor blog www.gunsnbutter.com

One of these days, the Democrats will realize that the President isn’t running for office again. Then who will they pick on? Our Congress is totally useless and should be replaced. We have the Presidency, the House of Representatives, the Senate. Maybe we need another one.....THE PEOPLES REPRESENTATIVES.

Protecting the most vulnerable among us? For a moment I though that they were trying to overturn Roe v. Wade...

As usual with Dems, he says one thing and immediately and clearly shows the opposite is true. If he really cared about kids, why would he beg for God to have the President veto it?

The most vulnerable among us are UNBORN INFANTS.

If these vermin were really at all interested in "protecting the most vulnerable among us" they would shutter every abortion clinic in America!
