So if this bill passed, all these upper-income families would cancel their private insurance policies, and just take advantage of government freebies.

What would happen if Bush successfully vetoes this bill, is it would come back and the Republicans would change it from an 80,000-dollar-cap to a 60,000 dollar one (i.e., limiting it to families who really need the benefits).


This is just another political manipulation to emotionally charge the debate on a false issue.

I was especially repulsed by the photo-op by Nancy Pelosi, praying with children in front of the cameras for Bush to change his mind. The party opposed to prayer in schools, the party of abortion, the party of assisted suicide, the party of removing the Ten Commandments from our courthouses... praying for our President. What irony. What hypocrisy.

i've noticed with you it's always "bush good, democrats bad." followed by a long list of things you don't like. this isn't a thread about abortion or the ten commandments, and i don't think either party really likes to touch the assisted suicide argument. and if you're talking photo-ops is it any different than mission accomplished on a battleship or bush...wait for it...posing with a bunch of kids last year when he vetoed the stem cell bill?

Bow ties are coool.
