Last week, several dozen GOPher House members listed objections that led them, they said, to vote to uphold Bush's veto of the S-Chip bill. So House Democrats worked on those issues to craft a bill that would be veto-proof. And what happened? When the new bill came to the floor, every Repub who had voted against it before and who was present voted against it again! Once more we learn that hypocrite is synonym for Republican.
On GOP congresswoman, Ginny Brown-Wait (R-FL), described the bill this way, "You can take horse manure and roll it in powdered sugar and it doesn't make it a doughnut." Wonder if even the people in Tampa will stand for that.
So that's what the Repubs think of health insurance for children: horse manure.
Meanwhile, the AP reports that the Scrooge-in-Chief "accused Democratic lawmakers on Friday of wasting time by passing legislation to expand children's health coverage, knowing that he would veto it again." Sure, Mr. President, why would Congress waste its time trying to help sick kids when it could be appropriating more billions in deficit spending for the war in Iraq?
