That last point (bolded) is the one I've thought since this whole thing began. The Democrats bring out this sad little boy, in an emotionally exploitative bypass of the real issue: Should the maximum income to qualify for the governmentprovided S-CHIP healthcare be a maximum of 60,000 (as it's been) or 80,000 (as the Democrats are pushing for) ?


WHAT??!!! This bill had bipartisan support!


It was voted for in the House with 220 Democrats and 45 Republicans. Hardly a majority of Republicans.

In the Senate, it passed with 50 Democrats and 18 Republicans votes.

Draw from that what you will. It's not a majority of Republicans, in either branch of congress.

he said "bipartisan" not that a majority of the republicans supported it. so i guess only a minority of republicans isn't evil enough to try and block healthcare for children while funding a massively faulty war.
and we know how you hate minorities. \:\(
