Rather than have a senator or a congressman respond to President Bush's weekly radio address, they decided to have a child who was helped by the program speak directly to the publicFavorite Dem ploy, utilize someone who cannot possibly be questioned because of their moral superiority.

A blogger on FreeRepublic.com discovered that Frost and his sister, Gemma, attend a private school where tuition costs $20,000 a year. What School is this? How long has he been attending? Is this cost per student or for the two of them?
This needs more documentation.

I had wondered about whether the kids went to school on scholarship. I know some poorer families whose kids attend a pretty exclusive school because they get scholarships.
What I wondered was is the $45,000 a before or after taxes figure. When you’re self employed, there are lots of exemptions you can take. You can basically write off a lot of normal household expenses (if your worship is in your home), car expenses, etc. It would be interesting to know.

Why is the family surprised at the attention they are receiving?
Poster children are supposed to draw attention.

Like many small-business owners, Halsey Frost can't even afford to provide health insurance to himself, Manley said.
It is a conscious, deliberate choice. Perhaps they could unload that commercial property or choose to move to a smaller house in a less affluent neighborhood.

We’re not blasting the family, we’re blasting the Democrats, who rely upon fraud to make their political points.

conservative-leaning bloggers I wonder how come we never hear the media use the term, "liberal-leaning?"
I hope the Prez and GOP squash this bill dead! It is really sad timing with all of the illegal immigrants running amuk in our country and the liberals in the country believe they (i-i) have the "RIGHT" to benefits! If this bill passes, guess who will be the biggest recipients? You guessed it!

The fact remains, these are not poor people. Taxpayers, many of whom make less and have fewer opportunities than this family, should not be required to pick up their health bills.

I had similar thoughts. My guess would be that the $45k is after the exemptions.

Except for health insurance because, like Dad said, why waste money on something that'll probably never happen and if it does we can get someone else to pay for it.

Nevertheless, I’m quite happy to be called “conservative-leaning”.
The proper term for Democrats is “unscrupulous-leaning”.

“...congressional Democrats found a new way...”
Exploiting children to further their Leftist agenda is not a “new way.” Democrats have been using that trick for decades.
