Well, at least Freepers didn't post what was quoted from Redstate in the article. Yikes! Can't wait 'til goes Bill O'Reilly after them.......

[Ken522]

... it sounds like these folks are really on the take ...

[syriacus]

I wonder how the Democrats happened to choose the Frosts?

Nancy Pelosi has strong Baltimore connections.

[bill1952]

Together, they say, they earn between $45,000 and $50,000 a year.

and live in that neighborhood and send their kids to private school! LOL! Oh my, LOL!!!!

What does a private school cost these days? $100? LOL!

[TankerKC]

By Monday, Rush Limbaugh was discussing the family's earnings and assets on the air...

Well, how horrible of Rush to bring this poor family's finances into the public debate.

What? He didn't? They did it themselves. You don't say...

[Suzy Quzy]

Bonnie, honey.....no one likes a CHEATER of the system....and it looks like you guys are CHEATERS who send your CHILD out to rebutt the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES!!!

Had you seen to it that you had BOUGHT insurance instead of asking your NEIGHBORS to pay for yours, this whole thing wouldn't have happened. You need to blame YOURSELVES for putting that bomb jacket on your kid and sending him out there with your lies.

It's not the kids fault...it's yours and Reid's and Pelosi's and that hideous FAMILIES USA!

[Suzy Quzy]

Yes, the FAMILY brought up how much they made...yeah $50,000....yeah right....unless he is such a horrible furniture and cabinet maker that he only brings in $30,000 a year, because the wife works also.

The Frosts are parasites sucking the economic lifeblood from the rest of us who do support ourselves. Why should I give a (you fill in the appropriate word) about their children? They have four. Did they get my permission before the squirted them out? Nope. Did they get any of the taxpayers’ permission? Nope. So why should the taxpayers support/subsidize them and their get?

"I think that the attack on this family is just breaking new ground and stooping to new lows in terms of what happens in Washington, D.C.," she told reporters. "I think it's a sad statement about how bankrupt some of these people are in their arguments against SCHIP that they attack a 12-year-old."

It burns me that the media lets her and the Democrats get away with this. They put him on national radio to lie about the program and to guilt people into voting the wrong way, and then she plays the victim when her tactic is questioned?

At least now we know that the "$1200" medical figure was for coverage now that the children are disabled, and NOT the amount it would have cost them to get the coverage when everybody was healthy.

I think end row houses sell for more than the ones in the middle, but I bet the assessment is low as well. Not that it matters what assets they have.

The more important thing, and therefore the thing being ignored by the media, is that this family already was covered under SCHIP, and would have been covered under Bush's proposal for re-authorization.

The only reason they don't have coverage at this moment is that the Democrats are using the Frosts as human sheilds, as hostages, denying them a poor-people's SCHIP program in order to blackmail people into allowing them to spend more money and cover more people.

If we played this game, we should find hard-working poor people who qualified under SCHIP and really needed it to do a press conference attacking the Democrats for using them as pawns to get their way. It would be even better if they had some grandmother who smoked who, under the Democrats plan, would have to choose between paying her higher taxes or buying prescription drugs.

Liberal bloggers, meanwhile, were complaining that the Frosts were being "swift-boated."

Swift-boated? Did the Frosts claim to having been sent into Cambodia for Christmas in 1968 by President Nixon (who wasn't even President)?

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

It’s reported that Mrs. Frost works for a medical publishing firm. Does anyone know if this is a salaried position or is it mainly freelanced medical transcriptionist work that you do at home?

[Suzy Quzy]

Swift-boated is liberal speak for EXPOSED BY THE TRUTH!!

[Nextrush]

Her daddy was the mayor 40 years ago.

[libstripper]

Bonnie Frost was driving children Zeke, Graeme and Gemma in Baltimore County in December 2004 when the family SUV hit a patch of black ice and slammed into a tree. Graeme sustained a brain stem injury; Gemma suffered a cranial fracture.

From those injuries it looks like Bonnie didn't make sure Graeme and Gemma were wearing their seat belts.

[johnny7]

I’m surprised the Sun printed this...

[Coldwater Creek]

One kitchen remodel can spend 30K on cabinets. Easy!

[Suzy Quzy]

I know....they are HIDING their INCOME it looks like.

[syriacus]

Her daddy was the mayor 40 years ago.

And her brother was mayor, too.

[jaybee]

You picked up the best point in this article—that Bonnie RECENTLY got a quote for $1200/month for insurance—WITH all the pre-existing conditions they now have.

So, Bonnie, how much was it going to be per month BEFORE the accident? Or did you even shop it?

[Coldwater Creek]

And, why didn’t their auto insurance pay for the children’s accident bills?

How does one pay the mortgages on 160,000, and whatever the refinance of their home on such a low income?

It looks like to me, that even as dumb as the dems are, they could have found a better poster boy. In fact, I know that they could have.
