I wonder if anyone has read the entire bill??

There was an admission earlier this year (don’t recall if it was on FR or other source) that the media writes their stories based upon the staffer’s synopsis of these bills, which are often crafted to omit those parts to which the public would react.

I haven’t read the entire bill, but then again, it’s really not my job. I’m a private citizen who knew that there was a working SCHIP bill in place, and was surprised to learn of the outrageous new ceilings attached to the new bill. I do know that the same kind of vetting that you describe led to the Grahame Frost debacle. We’re being described as heartless for questioning the credentials of a pair of irresponsible yuppies who had a terrible thing happen to their family.

Why O Why, in the age of Rathergate and the Internet, did this couple, and the political hacks that propped them up, think that a complete outing wouldn’t happen? Now the Dems are trying to bury the Frosts like it never happened, and have a new poster child, daughter of a waitress. Just when you think they can’t sink any lower...they throw an entire family under the bus and pick up a new family, as if they are paper mache puppets. The Dems are ghouls. They don’t seem to realize how the use of innocent children is so offensive to even the most nonpolitical of Americans.
