rePukes will pay in 2008 for bush's vetoing of SCHIP

[cali]

Millions of kids are on SCHIP. tens of millions of families know what it is and how vital it is. The veto will not only prevent SCHIP from expanding, it will cut families from the program. This is an emotional and pocketbook issue. Just the kind that galvanizes people to vote.

Stupid and cruel will come back to bite them in the butt.

1. I can't beleive so

Nothing bush and his monsters who kiss his butt have been held accountable for anything. The congress who so so wanted to start investigations have failed us. They made a big show and now there is nothing. All they want to do is make a show so they can drag it on and get re-elected in 2008.

They think if the "pretend" they are doing something the people, who by the way have shown, they are so damn stupid to follow along behind politicans will vote for them. NO they won't.

We want results.

2. I'm speaking strictly in terms of electoral politics

not how bad/good/indifferent the current majority is.

As for your petulant "we want results", then go work toward electing those you believe will work in your interests.

3. In the same breath he asked for increased funding for the occupation

Why this "handout" will cost the government 30-50 Billion and will bust his fairy tale "budget" but asking for and additional 180 Billion (off the books of course) is "fighting the war on terra".

Gawd I hate that man.

[cali]

4. Of course. Cognitive dissonance at its finest or

stunning hypocricy. I hate him too.

17. Even if I didn't plan on recommending your OP ...

... (which I am), this response alone would warrant hitting that REC button.

Well said - on BOTH counts!

5. It'll only bite them in the butt if they don't steal elections again.... nt

[cali]

6. They didn't in 2006

and they won't be able to in 2008.

[tbyg52]

8. They tried, though

and we're several seats short because of it.

Hope a combination of voter outrage and watching them like hawks will do the job in 2008.

7. If it weren't for those frauds and cheaters

You'd be surprised what low income folks convince themselves of to continue voting Republican. Others honestly don't think it's their responsibility anyway. That's why they vote Republican in the first place. 44% say they'd vote against Hillary under any circumstances. That's the number of people who will not care about this at all.

[cali]

11. Are you saying that

the majority of low income folks vote puke? Are you sure? And the 44% aren't all or even mostly low income.

[sandnsea]

12. You need to outline that for me

How you concluded that from what I said. I'm really tired of people taking leaps of logic and then shoving it back in my mouth.

Did I say the 44% who oppose Hillary are all low income? Is there anything I've ever said on this board that would lead you to draw that conclusion?

9. Ubetcha! I mean it's not like alcohol was being taxed to pay for it, right?

:eyes:

I just love when "progressives" turn regressive. Love it. :puke:

[cali]

13. I haven't a clue as to what you're trying to say

Want to explain?

[TahitiNut]

14. Are you at all aware of how the expansion of SC HIP is proposed to be funded?

Who pays for the health care of these children (and adults!)? I find it fascinating that those who proclaim the "worthy" nature of providing such health care don't match their rhetoric with equity in its funding. (Even more fascinating to me is how INFREQUENTLY the funding part of the legislation is even mentioned in advocacy screeds.)

FWIW, I'd be 100% in favor if the taxes to accomplish it were equitable and progressive. 100%.

[cali]

15. I thought they were proposing a 5 cent gas tax

And yes, I can live with that.

[TahitiNut]

16. Nope.

:shrug:

10. Prob is the list gets sooooo long that it'll hard to remember everything as the election gets close.

Need to make sure this is included in all of our ads. rec'd
